The short answer
In Singapore, custom built-in wardrobes are typically priced per foot run and start from around S$340/ft with a 5ft minimum build. A standard 3m (about 10ft) floor-to-ceiling wardrobe usually costs roughly S$3,400–S$5,500 depending on finish, internal fittings and doors. Most HDB and BTO bedrooms land between S$3,000 and S$6,000 per wardrobe.
Key takeaways
- Built-in wardrobes are priced per foot run (per linear foot of width), not per square foot.
- Entry pricing starts around S$340/ft with a typical 5ft minimum build.
- A 3m (≈10ft) floor-to-ceiling wardrobe generally runs S$3,400–S$5,500.
- Price is driven by width, height, door type, finish and internal fittings — not brand alone.
- Always confirm what's included: design, on-site measurement, delivery, installation and warranty.
Wardrobe pricing in Singapore can feel opaque because quotes are structured differently from firm to firm. This guide breaks down how built-in wardrobes are actually priced, what a realistic 2026 budget looks like for HDB, BTO and condo homes, and the exact questions to ask so you can compare quotes fairly.
How built-in wardrobe pricing works
Custom built-in wardrobes in Singapore are almost always priced by the foot run — the linear width of the wardrobe in feet. Because a built-in is floor-to-ceiling, the height is largely fixed by your ceiling, so width is the main variable that drives cost. A wardrobe that is 10 feet wide at S$340/ft works out to about S$3,400 for the carcass and doors before add-ons.
2026 price ranges by home type
The figures below are typical installed prices for a single floor-to-ceiling wardrobe, including standard internal fittings. Walk-in wardrobes and multi-wall configurations scale up from here.
| Home / wardrobe | Typical width | Indicative price |
|---|---|---|
| HDB bedroom (3- or 4-room) | 2.4–3.0m (8–10ft) | S$2,700–S$5,000 |
| BTO master bedroom | 3.0–3.6m (10–12ft) | S$3,400–S$6,000 |
| Condo bedroom | 3.0–4.0m (10–13ft) | S$3,800–S$7,500 |
| Walk-in wardrobe | Multi-wall | S$6,000–S$15,000+ |
What drives the price up or down
- Door type: sliding doors generally cost more than hinged (casement) doors because of the track and larger panels.
- Finish: matte and textured laminates, fluted panels and glass or mirror inserts add cost over standard laminate.
- Internal fittings: soft-close drawers, pull-out trouser racks, LED lighting and lockable drawers each add to the total.
- Height and top compartment: a full floor-to-ceiling build with a top storage compartment uses more material than a standard-height unit.
- Hardware: premium European soft-close hinges and runners cost more but last far longer.
What should be included in the price
A fair quote should be a turnkey figure. Before you compare prices, confirm that each quote includes the same scope. Otherwise a lower headline number can end up more expensive once extras are added.
- Design and space planning for your specific room.
- On-site measurement (not just showroom estimates).
- The carcass, doors, and standard internal shelving and rails.
- Delivery and professional installation.
- A written warranty on workmanship and hardware.
How to budget accurately
Start with the wall width you want to fill, multiply by the per-foot rate for a baseline, then add a realistic allowance for the fittings you actually need. Prioritise the fittings that improve daily use — soft-close drawers and good internal lighting — over decorative extras.
Frequently asked questions
- How much is a built-in wardrobe per foot in Singapore?
- Custom built-in wardrobes typically start from around S$340 per foot run in 2026, with a common 5ft minimum build. The final rate depends on door type, finish and internal fittings.
- Is a built-in wardrobe cheaper than a freestanding one?
- Freestanding wardrobes have a lower upfront cost, but built-ins use your full floor-to-ceiling height, fit your exact wall, and add more usable storage and resale appeal. For a permanent home, a built-in is usually better value over time.
- Why are some wardrobe quotes so much cheaper?
- Cheaper quotes often exclude on-site measurement, use thinner boards or basic hardware, or quote a shorter cabinet rather than a floor-to-ceiling build. Always compare the same scope, board thickness and hardware.
- Does the price include installation?
- It should. A proper built-in wardrobe quote in Singapore is a turnkey price covering design, measurement, delivery and installation. Confirm this in writing before committing.
