How much do fitted wardrobes cost? A pricing guide

Ask five companies to quote the same wardrobe and you can get five very different numbers. That is not necessarily anyone being dishonest, it usually means each quote includes a different scope, so the figures are not actually comparable. Before you can judge whether a price is fair, it helps to know what moves it.

The biggest factor: size and run length

A single fitted wardrobe run along one bedroom wall costs a fraction of a full walk-in dressing room with cabinetry on three sides. Price generally scales with the linear metre of cabinetry and the floor-to-ceiling height, so the first number worth fixing in your head is not a total price, but a price per metre run for your specific finish.

Finish: the second biggest swing

Melamine faced chipboard is the most budget-friendly option, and is a sensible choice for internals or utility spaces where the finish will not be on show. Veneered doors sit in the middle, offering real wood grain at a more moderate premium. Spray-painted MDF, a furniture-grade lacquered finish applied and hand-finished in a controlled booth, sits at the top end because of the labour involved, but wears harder and looks more consistent over years than a site-brushed finish.

Internals and hardware add up quickly

A basic hanging rail and a single shelf cost little. Full internal configurations, pull-out drawers, valet rails, integrated lighting, mirrored doors, and soft-close runners each add cost individually, and it is easy for a wardrobe to end up costing considerably more once internals are specified in full. Decide upfront which internals matter to your daily routine rather than defaulting to everything on the list.

Sliding versus hinged doors

Sliding door systems generally cost more per door than hinged doors of the same finish, because of the track and running gear, but they can save floor space in a smaller room, which sometimes offsets the cost by letting you fit more storage into the same footprint.

What should be included in the quote

A proper fitted wardrobe quote should itemise design and survey, manufacturing, delivery, and installation separately, so you can see what you are paying for at each stage, not just a single lump sum. Ask whether the figure includes VAT, and whether it is a fixed price once you sign off drawings or an estimate that can move once work starts.

At HausBespoke, every quote is itemised before you pay a deposit and is fixed once you approve the drawings and material samples, so the number you agree to is the number you pay, not a starting point for later additions.

Getting an accurate number for your room

Because size, finish, and internals move the price so much, a generic price list is only ever a rough guide. The only way to get a number that means something is a site survey and a proper design conversation, which is the first stage of how we work on every project.
