Re-installing a wall-to-wall closet
(sh.itjust.works)
The ikea PAX is the easy way out.
It's a free-standing waste of space when the nook for the cupboard is already there?
You're not wrong
PAX without doors can also be combined with sliding doors from some other company in front of them.
If you could find sliding doors of the correct height, you could install 2-3 of them on tracks at the top of the space and skip framing altogether. Another option, if you're feeling a little less crafty could just be using those zig zag room dividers to separate the space and put up closet rods. At any rate I don't think framing the entire wall is completely necessary since all you're really looking for is more of a facade than anything.
