Guide
How wardrobe cost is calculated
Wardrobes are priced by the front area — width × height in square feet. A 6 ft wide, 7 ft high wardrobe is 42 sq ft. That area is multiplied by the rate for the carcass (the body, shelves and partitions) and by the rate for the shutters on the front. Hinges or sliding tracks, a loft, and any internal accessories are added on top.
Three choices drive most of the difference between quotes: the board (pre-laminated particle board up to marine plywood), the shutter finish (laminate up to PU lacquer or glass), and the fittings (basic up to premium European soft-close systems). Sliding wardrobes add a track system and usually framed, slightly costlier shutters.
Planning the inside
- Keep the depth at 560–600 mm (1′10″–2′0″) for hinged doors and 600–650 mm (2′0″–2′2″) for sliding ones, so hangers clear the shutters.
- Fix the rod for long hanging — kurtas, sarees on hangers, dresses — at 1650–1750 mm (5′5″–5′9″) from the floor. For shirts, a double hang with the lower rod at 1000–1100 mm (3′3″–3′7″) doubles the space.
- Put drawers at waist height and lofts for things you need a few times a year.
- Leave a section for sarees or folded stacks — open shelves or pull-out baskets work better than deep fixed shelves.
