The Secret to a Luxe-Looking Wardrobe Without a Full Renovation

How Frontease Panels Instantly Upgrade Your IKEA PAX or Built-In Frames

If your wardrobe feels more "builder basic" than beautiful, you're not alone. Many homes—especially rentals or newly built spaces—come with functional but uninspired storage solutions.

But here's the good news: you don't need a full renovation to get a high-end designer wardrobe. With Frontease custom panels, you can transform basic wardrobe frames into statement pieces—without tearing down walls or hiring a carpenter.

Let’s show you how.

Why Panels Make All the Difference

Wardrobe structure (like IKEA PAX) handles the function. But what you see—and what makes an impression—is the exterior.

Frontease offers custom wardrobe panels that replace or overlay existing doors and side panels. The result?

  • A sleek, premium finish that rivals luxury interiors

  • Easy updates without removing the original frame

  • Panels tailored to your space, finish, and aesthetic

Think of it as a facelift for your wardrobe—with zero construction dust.

Compatible With IKEA PAX & Built-Ins

Whether you're upgrading a freestanding IKEA unit or designing a built-in wardrobe, Frontease panels fit perfectly:

  • Standard PAX sizes supported

  • Side, top, plinth, and door panels available

  • Seamless color and style matching

And because we design for compatibility, installation is straightforward—no complex joinery needed.

Finish Options That Speak Your Style

From clean matte to textural soft-touch finishes, our panels come in curated palettes and modern designs.

Top choices include:

  • Savé – A minimal matte classic

  • Shaker 3 & 5 – Timeless panelled charm

  • Beading – Elevated sophistication

  • Plain Fronts – Understated and modern

You can match your interiors—or contrast them with bold choices that add depth and dimension.

Budget-Friendly, Design-Led

Instead of spending on full carpentry or built-in fabrication, Frontease lets you allocate budget to what really counts:

  • Great design

  • Quality finishes

  • Functional accessories

In just days, your basic wardrobe is transformed into a stunning design feature.

The Bottom Line

You don’t have to gut your bedroom to get that luxury wardrobe feel.

With Frontease panels, you can:

  • Transform IKEA wardrobes into designer pieces

  • Give built-ins a fresh, custom look

  • Stay on budget while elevating your home’s style

It's smart design that works with what you have.
