IKEA is known for its modular systems, but sometimes the most interesting solutions come when you mix pieces across product lines. One standout example is the combination of the PLATSA frame with ENHET doors. I photographed this unique setup during a visit to an IKEA store two years ago, capturing all the details for this article.
The PLATSA system is designed for flexible storage wardrobes, shelving, or even room dividers. ENHET, on the other hand, is part of IKEA's kitchen and bathroom lineup, known for its sleek door fronts and modular feel. Combining these two brings together the best of both: the sturdy, customizable frame of PLATSA with the clean-lined, slightly more sophisticated look of ENHET doors.
In the configuration I photographed, the cabinet stands tall and narrow with multiple compartments. The gray ENHET doors give it a modern look, contrasting beautifully with the white PLATSA frame inside. Inside, you'll find:
Adjustable shelves for flexible storage
Soft-close hinges for smooth operation
Wire baskets and hanging space, perfect for clothes, accessories, or even household supplies
This combination is ideal for bedrooms, hallways, or utility rooms where you need adaptable storage but want something that feels more polished than basic PLATSA doors.
Most shoppers stick within one product line, using PLATSA frames with PLATSA doors. By combining ENHET doors, you create a custom look that's not typically promoted in the IKEA catalog. It's a great example of how mixing systems can elevate both design and function.
If you're looking for an IKEA storage solution that goes beyond the standard, consider experimenting with cross-line combinations like PLATSA and ENHET. As you can see from my photos, the result is stylish, versatile, and highly practical, perfect for anyone who wants their home to stand out with a personal touch.
