Wardrobe Cost Calculator — Hinged vs Sliding, Priced Per Component
Width × height × finish is how every vendor prices a wardrobe — this calculator does it transparently: woodwork per sft by construction, the Hafele sliding mechanism as its own line, internals and dresser priced separately, exactly like a real quotation.
Essential
₹1.3 – 1.7 lakh
Standard
₹1.7 – 2.3 lakh
Premium
₹2.5 – 3.8 lakh
For a typical configuration — adjust every parameter below. Indicative, confirmed after site assessment.
- Written scope & quotation before any commitment
- One accountable coordinator, start to finish
- Screened execution professionals
- Stage-by-stage payments, reviewed before the next stage
- We never sell your requirement to contractors
Wardrobe quotes are the cleanest example of per-sft pricing in interiors: front area (width × height) times a rate that moves with carcass ply, shutter finish and door type. Sliding adds ₹250–400/sft over hinged plus a mechanism line — where a Hafele soft-close set street-prices at ₹5,000–9,000 while quotations happily list ₹15,000.
The internals are the quiet second budget: drawers, trouser pullouts and accessory trays can add ₹20–85k depending on ambition. This calculator prices them as their own line — because that is where a vendor quote should be negotiated, not inside the per-sft rate.

Where can I save?
Price the mechanism at street rates
₹5–8k per wardrobeHafele soft-close sliding sets sell at ₹5,000–9,000; quotations list ₹15,000. Name the exact model and ask for item pricing — the gap is pure negotiation room.
Loft in laminate, always
5–10%Nobody sees or touches the loft. Matching-laminate lofts at ₹750–950/sft against premium-finish lofts at full rate is invisible savings.
Hinged for guest rooms
₹15–30k per roomSliding earns its premium in tight master bedrooms. Guest-room wardrobes in hinged construction save the mechanism and the rate delta with zero daily cost.

Common questions
What does a wardrobe cost per sqft in Bengaluru in 2026?
Transacted rates: hinged laminate ₹1,100–1,700/sft of front area by ply grade; sliding ₹1,400–2,100; acrylic/PU premium ₹2,000–3,200. A 7×9 ft sliding wardrobe at Standard tier computes ₹1.7–2.3 lakh all-in on this model with mechanism and internals.
Sliding or hinged — which is worth it?
Sliding wins in rooms where an open hinged door blocks passage, and it carries the premium look. Hinged gives full-width access, costs ₹250–400/sft less, and needs no mechanism. Master: sliding. Guest rooms: hinged is the honest answer.
What internal fittings should I actually specify?
Two Hettich drawer boxes, one trouser pullout and adjustable shelves cover 90% of daily use at ₹20–38k. Jewellery organisers and pull-down loft rails are premium-tier comforts — nice, and priced like it.
