Our unit included a corner, so we started there and built out. Once we had decided on our height and depth, we played around with a bunch of configurations within the PAX planner. When Donnie and I got out painter’s tape and taped out some different options in the space, we realized that in order to use the deeper cabinet option, we would need to relocate the can light in the ceiling, which we didn’t really want to do, so that solidified our decision to go with the narrower 14″ depth cabinets. One of my biggest concerns for this storage unit was that it would look like this big behemoth that we plopped down in the space I wanted to make sure it flowed naturally with the rest of the room, so I was already leaning toward the narrower of the two depths. I then needed to choose between the two options for the depth of the cabinets. Adding Ikea File Storage To Our Office We haven’t given our office any love in the entire eight months that we’ve lived here (other than deciding that it was no longer the dining room and shifting that into the old formal living room nearby). My office has 8′ ceilings, so the taller 94″ high cabinets were perfect and really helped me maximize my storage space. First I had to choose between two height options for my storage unit. There are a ton of possibilities with the planner, but it is broken down in a way that made it simple to build my ideal storage combination.
