EASY AMAZON DIY CLOSET VS IKEA PAX WARDROBE | VIRAL CLOSET BOOKSHELF HACK | THE LUXE WIFE

[@theluxewife]

Hi Guys! ❤ Welcome back to another video! I enjoyed filming this video so I sincerely hope that it resonates with you as well! I’ve linked everything discussed in today’s video but if all means you see something that I didn’t mention and you want the link, do not hesitate to let me know! ❤️ I’m going to keep the affordable renter and homeowner friendly content for you! Happy Sunday & TTYL ❤

When it come to any compress cabinets, I like to add some wood glue to every edge prior to 🪛 them together, this allows them to be way much sturdier. I also don't use the cardboard backing on them at all, instead I go to my local nearest big box store and purchase what known as thin wood flooring underlayment... I then paint them to my prefer color and then install them with glue and small screws to the back of the units, this will allow them to have an additional strength to the units, preventing them from wobbling around during installation to any wall. Believe me they tend to become muchhhhh more structure sturdier.

[@theluxewife]

This is all good to know! And I’m sure everyone in the comments is going to appreciate you for helping them achieve a more solid system, especially for a project that’s pretty reasonable to achieve! My closet system at our home is built in but because we’re temporarily in this space, I definitely needed something quick and didn’t want to damage any walls in the process!! Thank you so much for your support and thank you for watching! 🫶🏽

[@uniquej808]

This is smart cuz i honestly hate those thin back board they give.

[@noelinthecity]

@@theluxewifeLove this! Super helpful as I’m preparing a room for cloffice 🤣 transformations. So they’re not mounted to the wall? How are they holding up?

[@theluxewife]

@@noelinthecityHey!!❤ No they aren’t mounted to the wall! Honestly they’re holding up well! I’m in a completely new space now, as I was in this particular space for about 5 months! They are with me now and holding up well. I do have wall anchors I intend on using but if I don’t, honestly it’ll still be fine. If you have little ones, as in crawling babies, or learning to walk, I suggest anchoring/mounting them! I hope this helps! Thank you so much for watching! ❤

[@julianns3238]

If you leave a space between two bookshelves and put a rod between them at the top you have a spot for long items

[@theluxewife]

Ohhh! That’s a great idea! I have an extra hanging rod too so that’ll work! See that’s why I love your guys, thinking when I’m not! 💕 Thank you so much for watching! 💕

[@cassandrajones4927]

So Good, looks so classy. I have been using bookshelves to do all sorts of things forever. Great Video. 😊❤

[@theluxewife]

Thank you so much! I’m just getting on and I’m so happy! 🤎 Thank you so much for watching! 🤎

[@GigivonDoom-138]

I love this setup so much and I want to give you props on two counts; one, this is WAY more realistic for the average person’s budget and financial situation. Everyone wants to splash out like an influencer but real people aren’t balling like an influencer. And that’s okay, but that’s a whole other talk. And two, hardly anyone has the space to have a walk-in wardrobe, it’s just not realistic. Like you said, in other places in the world you’ll see gorgeous wardrobe’s…built into the bedroom. I really love that you made this previously unattainable thing completely doable. Definitely got me as a subscriber!

[@theluxewife]

Thank you so much! I’m so happy! You actually get the purpose of the entire video! Social media, large influencers makes a lot of things unrealistic to the everyday person and in some cases where people can afford to do things, they’re looking for a cheaper option. Have I had a large space to have a customized closet before, yes but the reality of the situation is, this time around, I don’t. Having a wardrobe in your bedroom seems unrealistic to some but in most cases, it’s a lot of people’s reality! Thank you so much for watching and being so kind! ❤️ I appreciate you so much!

[@lisazigg]

Great idea. Sold out on Amazon.. walmart jacked up the price to $87. Still $40 at target if you can find them locally... so off to target I go lol. Tfs

[@theluxewife]

Oh wow! 😯 I can’t believe it! I’m sure everyone will see this comment and thank you for updating us! I’m pretty sure Amazon will restock! Walmart increase $40 🤧😩 Wow! But yes, head over to Target so no one else beats you! 😂 Thank you so much for watching & sharing! ❤️

[@lisazigg]

Update....amazon is back in stock at $64... I like the color so I'll grab those.

[@IndiaJ.]

I LOVE the rods it elevated the whole look❤

[@theluxewife]

See! I thought so too! Definitely does not look like a bookshelf after adding them! ❤️ Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@j_bubblez279]

So excited to get mine together soon. Im going for about the same budget but Im also putting a vanity in my closet.

[@theluxewife]

Yes! I second the vanity! It’ll look so nice! 🤎

[@kaykayglover2463]

LW make sure you have hubby anchor those shelves to the wall, especially if you are going to fill the hanging rods. The more top heavy they are, the easier they will be to tip over because those shelves are not very deep. Such a nice look! I would love a closet system like this, only deeper so I can attach doors. You did a lovely job.

[@theluxewife]

Hey 🥰 I sure will! We just got settled into a new place and they are getting anchored for sure! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@mamielashawn3552]

Ms. Wife I enjoyed it you did very well I'm going to copy some of your ideas 😊

You did an amazing job. I was wondering should I turn my bedroom into a closet with a bed, lol. You did amazing, thanks for the encouragement. Please tell me where to find the hats? I love them.

[@theluxewife]

Thank you so much! And yes, do what’s best because I needed the storage and it doesn’t make my room feel cluttered! The hats were purchased from Farfetch over time! I really love them! They’re by designer Ruslan Baginsky! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

Great idea and great video!!❤

[@theluxewife]

It really is! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching!❤️

[@marjoriemoore3546]

I hope you anchored the shelves to the wall. With the hanging items, it could fall forward and you/ children could be injured. Nice overall

[@theluxewife]

Yes of course! They even come with wall anchors! ❤️ Thank you so much for watching!!

Please share how you fold your jeans on a hanger.

[@theluxewife]

You know what?! Thank you for telling me to share! I fold them over on the hanger and then use the belt loop on the Jean and hook it on the hanger. If it doesn’t make sense, because I had a hard time figuring it when I first did 😭, this month I’m uploading a video of my closet space! I’ll share how I did it and tag + mention you, you can most certainly hold me to it! ❤️ Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@DatesGalore]

@@theluxewife Oh no problem I'm a new subscriber . I watched a couple of your videos. I'm also upgrading my closet. Folks need help with how to place the items and hang up as well. When I watched yours I thought oh that would fit over some of my shelves cause you made them hang short. Oh i'll defiantly be watching to see the shout out. I'm also a new content creator. check me out maybe one day we can do a collaboration. Either way I'm her for it. Cheers sis
