How Much Do Built In Wardrobes Cost in Singapore?
It is undeniable that wardrobes play an important role in the bedroom. A full-length built-in wardrobe often helps to accentuate the overall theme of the room.
Additionally, a built-in wardrobe gives you full control over how you wish to organise your clothes, with shelves and wardrobe length built to cater to your needs. It can also be designed to optimise the space that you have, since it can be constructed according to the size and shape you like.
What many of us consider a luxury would be a walk-in wardrobe. Given that space is a constraint for many of us living in a HDB flat, we often rule out the idea of having a walk-in wardrobe.
However, with good planning and creative partitioning, it can be possible.
Price estimates from Tan Carpentry for their built in wardrobes runs from:
- $210 per foot run for wardrobe with casement doors
- $230 per foot run for wardrobe with normal sliding doors
- $250 per foot run for wardrobe with soft-closing sliding aluminium glass doors
For those new to carpentry terms, per foot run means that cost is calculated only by length, instead of length x width.
Finding The Right Carpenter
Many carpentry firms these days provide services such as interior design as well.
As such, it is now much more convenient since many of these firms have their own workshop — you won’t have to worry about outsourcing and poor workmanship.
Now, all that’s left is to turn your dream home into a reality!
