Wardrobe Price per Foot Run in Singapore: How It Works
How customised wardrobes and cupboards are priced per foot run in Singapore, what a foot run includes, how to calculate your cost, and per foot run vs per square foot.
By The Wardrobe SG Team · Updated 1 November 2026
The short answer
In Singapore, built-in wardrobes and cupboards are usually priced per foot run, which is the width of the wardrobe measured along the wall, for a full floor-to-ceiling build. To estimate the cost, multiply the width in feet by the price per foot run. At Wardrobe SG, prices start from S$300 per foot run, so an 8ft wardrobe starts from about S$2,400, including measurement, a standard layout, soft-close hardware, delivery and installation.
Key takeaways
- A foot run is the wardrobe's width along the wall, about 305mm.
- Height is not charged separately when the wardrobe runs floor to ceiling.
- Cost = width in feet × price per foot run.
- Our wardrobes start from S$300 per foot run.
- Finishes, glass, LED lighting and premium hardware are optional extras.
Most wardrobe quotes in Singapore are written in foot run, which can be confusing if you are used to square feet. Here is how it works and how to work out a rough budget.
What is a foot run?
A foot run is one foot (about 305mm) of wardrobe width, measured along the wall. A wall that is 2.4m wide is about 8 foot run. Because a built-in wardrobe runs from floor to ceiling, the height is already included, so you only pay by width.
How to calculate your wardrobe cost
| Width | Approx. mm | Starting price |
|---|---|---|
| 5ft | 1,525mm | From S$1,499 |
| 6ft | 1,830mm | From S$1,800 |
| 8ft | 2,440mm | From S$2,400 |
| 10ft | 3,050mm | From S$3,000 |
| 12ft | 3,660mm | From S$3,600 |
Per foot run vs per square foot
Some carpentry, such as low cabinets or TV consoles, is priced per square foot of front area. For full-height wardrobes, foot run is simpler because the height is fixed by your ceiling. When comparing quotes, convert both to the same basis and check they cover the same height.

- On-site measurement
- The carcass, doors and a standard door finish
