Every project is unique, but the precision and quality of finish is always the same. Here's a look at some of our latest transformations.
Bespoke IKEA PAX Transformation
The client needed a wall-to-wall storage solution for a 598cm wide bedroom wall with a ceiling height of 234cm. They wanted a sleek, fitted appearance using IKEA PAX frames but required expert modifications to ensure a perfect, custom fit — no visible gaps, no off-the-shelf compromises.
At GRS FlatPack, we specialise in turning standard flat-pack components into high-end fitted wardrobes. Our fitters Cosmin and Sebastian cut every frame to meet the exact 234cm ceiling, and performed a bespoke width reduction on one frame and its matching door to perfectly fill the 598cm wall length.
- Height customisation — all frames cut to meet 234cm ceiling exactly
- Precision sizing — bespoke width reduction on one frame and its door
- Professional finish rivalling the aesthetic of luxury cabinetry
IKEA Custom PAX with Integrated Murphy Bed
This project in Hounslow required a smart, space-saving solution: combining IKEA fitted wardrobes with a seamlessly integrated Murphy (wall) bed. Working with a room width of 360cm and a ceiling height of 242cm, the goal was to maximise storage while maintaining a clean, built-in look.
The central feature is a hidden wall bed, carefully integrated within the wardrobe structure. When closed, the bed disappears completely — maintaining the appearance of a continuous run of custom wardrobes. When opened, it reveals a comfortable sleeping area without compromising the surrounding storage. We customised the internal layout around the Murphy bed mechanism, added infill panels with precise scribing, and ensured perfect door alignment throughout.
- Internal layout customised around the Murphy bed mechanism
- Infill panels and precise scribing for wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling finish
- Perfect door alignment for a seamless, premium appearance
- Balanced hanging space, drawers and shelving for everyday use
IKEA Fitted Wardrobe — From Flat-Pack to Premium
This project showcases how a standard storage solution can be elevated into a luxury, built-in feature. Our expert fitters Sebastian and Cosmin took on this challenge in Harrow, turning a blank wall into a seamless, high-end storage suite. The goal was to move beyond the "off-the-shelf" look and create bespoke PAX wardrobes that felt like an architectural part of the room.
With a room width of 390cm and ceiling height of 252cm, precision was the priority. We added custom-cut filler panels to the sides and a top header panel, eliminating the typical gaps found in freestanding units. One of our signature moves — reversing the internal panels — hides the standard pre-drilled shelf holes from view, creating a clean, high-end cabinetry aesthetic. Sebastian and Cosmin also installed integrated LED lighting for both functional visibility and a sophisticated ambiance.
"By closing the gaps between the wardrobe and the walls, we don't just add style; we remove the 'dust traps' common with standard installs, making the room feel larger and more cohesive."
- Seamless integration — custom filler panels for floor-to-ceiling look
- The "invisible" detail — reversed panels hiding pre-drilled holes
- Integrated LED lighting for functional visibility and ambient glow
IKEA PAX Wardrobe Customisation — Awkward Space Specialists
This project in Enfield, London showcases how an IKEA custom wardrobe can be tailored around architectural features that would normally limit your options. The room had a wall length of 350cm, a ceiling height of 220cm with a sloping ceiling on the right-hand side, and a chimney breast that needed to be worked around — not hidden from.
We designed and fitted IKEA fitted wardrobes that maximise every inch of available space. The wardrobes were carefully customised to follow the slope of the ceiling, ensuring a seamless and clean finish rather than leaving awkward gaps. We also integrated the chimney breast into the wardrobe design, so it becomes part of the overall layout rather than a limitation. Additional cabinetry and shelving were installed around it to create practical storage while maintaining a balanced and symmetrical look throughout.
- Wardrobes custom-cut to follow the slope of the ceiling precisely
- Chimney breast fully integrated into the design — not a limitation
- Additional cabinetry and shelving for maximum practical storage
- Balanced, symmetrical look despite the challenging room layout
