What do fitted wardrobes cost in 2026? An honest price guide

A run of made-to-measure fitted wardrobes along one bedroom wall typically costs £3,000 to £7,500 supplied and installed, a corner or two-wall layout £6,000 to £12,000 and upwards, and a full walk-in dressing room from £6,500. The price moves with the length of the run, what goes inside, the doors and finish you choose, and how much work the room itself needs, which is why we quote after a free design visit rather than from a price list.

Those figures are ranges, not quotes. Every wardrobe we supply is designed for one particular room, so two runs of the same length can cost quite different amounts once the drawers, lighting and finish are decided. What follows explains where in the range a project lands, and why.

At a glance: most of the price is decided by four things: the size of the run, what goes inside it, the doors and finish, and the condition of the room. Materials usually arrive within three weeks of a signed-off design and fitting takes between two days and two weeks. The first design visit is free and you have a written quotation before you commit; a 30% deposit then starts the detailed drawings and the ordering.

Typical fitted wardrobe prices in 2026

The ranges below cover the projects we are most often asked to price. They assume made-to-measure furniture, full height, scribed to the room, with quality soft-close hardware, and they include the initial consultation and design planning, detailed drawings once a deposit is paid, bespoke manufacture to our drawings, quality materials and hardware, delivery and professional installation, minor fitting-related making good, and a 15-year guarantee on structural cabinetry and our workmanship, with five years on mechanical hardware such as hinges and drawer runners. Electrical work, plastering, decorating, removal of existing furniture and specialist finishing are quoted separately unless we have said otherwise.

  • Single-wall run of fitted wardrobes (roughly two to three metres, hinged doors, hanging and shelving): £3,000 to £7,500.
  • Longer run or a two-wall corner layout: £6,000 to £12,000 and upwards.
  • Fitted sliding wardrobes (bespoke doors on a made-to-measure carcass, not an off-the-shelf door kit): £4,000 to £8,000.
  • Walk-in wardrobe or dressing room (several runs, often with drawers, mirrors and lighting): from £6,500.
  • Wardrobes for sloping ceilings and awkward spaces: priced as the equivalent straight run, plus typically £500 to £1,500 for the extra work, depending on how complicated the space is.

If your room does not fit any of these, that is normal. A made-to-measure fitted wardrobe is priced for the room it goes into, and our prices and timescales page explains how we arrive at a figure for projects of every shape.

The four things that move the price

The size of the space is only the starting point. What goes inside the furniture, and how it is finished, usually matters more.

1. The length of the run and the number of doors

More metres means more carcass, more doors and more fitting time. The jump from one wall to two is larger than the extra metres suggest, because a corner needs its own solution for access and the two runs have to meet cleanly.

2. What goes inside

Hanging rails and shelving are the simplest interior to supply. Drawers, pull-out trays, shoe racks, internal lighting and the more detailed fittings all add work, and this is where otherwise similar wardrobes part company on price. A bank of drawers behind one pair of doors, or lighting designed in from the start rather than added later, is what most often moves an otherwise straightforward run towards the upper end of its range. The useful question is not “how much storage can I fit in” but “what do I actually need to store”, and the design visit is where we work that out together.

3. The doors and the finish

A decorative board finish from a manufacturer such as Egger is usually the most economical route and covers everything from plain matt colours to realistic woodgrains. A professional spray finish costs more and opens up any colour you like, including a match to an existing paint. Real timber and veneers sit at the top of the range. Handles range from discreet edge pulls to statement hardware, and a handleless design with push-to-open mechanisms is a cost in itself. Our page on the boards, hardware and finishes we specify goes through the options.

4. The room itself

Straight walls are rarer than people expect. An out-of-square wall, a sloping ceiling, a boxed-in pipe, skirting that has to be worked around or old wardrobes that need removing all add to the fitting time. None of it is a problem, but all of it is measured and priced before you commit, which is one of the reasons we visit rather than quote from photographs alone. The tall rooms in older houses around Harborne and Edgbaston, for example, need taller carcasses and more scribing than a 1960s bedroom in Sutton Coldfield, and the price reflects that.

Where the money goes

Bespoke costs more than a flat-pack unit because almost nothing about it is standard. The design is drawn for your room. The components are precision-manufactured to our drawings by trusted specialist partners, in the exact sizes the room needs, rather than cut to a catalogue. The hardware is chosen to last: soft-close hinges and drawer runners from Blum, lighting from Häfele with the cabling designed in so it stays hidden. And the installation is done to our standards, scribed to the walls and ceiling, which is the difference between furniture that looks built in and furniture that looks pushed against a wall.

A dressing room is several runs of furniture in one project, which is why it sits at the top of the price range.

From early budget to installation: how it works and how long it takes

Getting an early budget before anything is measured

You do not need every detail decided before contacting us. Send a few photographs of the room, rough measurements, your postcode and an idea of your budget, and we can give you an early budget guide before any detailed design work. The quickest way is to send us photos of the room through the enquiry form, which also asks for a rough budget band so we can pitch the first conversation at the right level.

From there the first discovery and design visit is free, with no obligation. We measure the room, talk through what you need to store and how you get ready each day, and follow up with a design proposal and a written quotation, which is yours to think about with no obligation. A 30% deposit confirms the booking, and the detailed drawings and the ordering follow from there. If detailed drawings are produced and the project is then cancelled there may be a charge for that design work, and we will tell you before we reach that stage.

How long a fitted wardrobe project takes

The design stage depends on how quickly we can agree the layout, materials and finishes together; a single room is usually a matter of weeks rather than months. Once the final design is signed off, materials can generally be supplied in under three weeks, although specialist items and finishes may take longer. Fitting then takes between two days and two weeks: a straightforward run of wardrobes sits at the short end, a full dressing room or a project across several rooms at the long end. We confirm a project-specific timescale in writing before work begins. The step-by-step guide to how a project runs covers each stage from the first visit to the final handover.

Ways to spend less without spending badly

Spend on the parts you touch

If the budget is tight, keep the run to the wall that matters, put drawers only where you will use them daily, and choose a board finish in a colour that suits the house rather than a sprayed one. Keep the hinges and runners good; they are what you use a hundred times a week. Where sliding doors suit the room, bespoke fitted sliding wardrobes on a made-to-measure carcass cost more than a door kit from a shed and are built to last far longer.

Two more ways to make the money go further. Plan more than one room at the same time if you can: working across rooms at once keeps finishes, handles and proportions consistent and tends to be more efficient than coming back for each room separately. And decide early on the things that affect how the carcass is built, such as lighting and internal power, because adding them after manufacture costs more than designing them in.

Whatever the budget, the first step is the same: tell us about the room, send a few photographs if you can, and we will come back with an early budget guide. The prices and timescales page has the full picture of what affects the cost and how long each stage takes.

Questions people ask about fitted wardrobe prices

Why is there no price list?

Because nothing we supply is a standard product. Every piece is designed for a particular room, so we price each project once we know the layout, the materials and what goes inside the furniture. The ranges above are there to give you a realistic starting point.

Is the design visit free?

Yes. The initial discovery and design visit is free and there is no obligation. If detailed drawings are produced and the project is then cancelled there may be a charge for that design work, and we will say so before we reach that stage.

Do sliding doors cost more than hinged doors?

They usually start higher. A comparable single-wall run is £3,000 to £7,500 with hinged doors and £4,000 to £8,000 with bespoke sliding doors on a made-to-measure carcass, because the doors are larger panels and the track and running gear are a cost in their own right. What you buy for the difference is floor space: sliding doors need no clearance to open, which is why they suit narrow rooms and the foot of a bed. An off-the-shelf sliding door kit fitted to an existing opening is a different product and a cheaper one, and it is not what we supply.

When do I pay?

A 30% deposit secures your booking and is what allows us to begin the detailed design and order materials. The remaining 70% is payable within five working days of completion. Written quotations remain valid for 30 days.
