How Much Does a Built-in Wardrobe Cost in Singapore? (2026 Price Guide)
Built-in wardrobe prices in Singapore for 2026: from S$300 per foot run, typical HDB, BTO and condo costs in a simple table, what a quote should include, and how to budget.
By The Wardrobe SG Team · Updated 15 September 2026
The short answer
In Singapore, custom built-in wardrobes are typically priced per foot run and start from around S$300/ft with a 5ft minimum build. A standard 3m (about 10ft) floor-to-ceiling wardrobe usually costs roughly S$3,000–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$300/ft with a typical 5ft minimum build.
- A 3m (≈10ft) floor-to-ceiling wardrobe generally runs S$3,000–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 whether the price is fixed.
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 much does a custom wardrobe cost in Singapore?
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$300/ft works out to about S$3,000 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$3,000–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 a wardrobe quotation include?
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, itemised quote that won't change after measuring.
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$300 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.
