| Your inputsTotal wardrobe length 10 Rft · Wardrobe height 2400 mm · Wardrobe depth 600 mm · Shutter type Hinged shutters · Shutter finish Laminate 1 mm · Loft above wardrobe · Drawer units 4 · Hanging rods 2 · Floor-length mirror strip inside one shutter · Plywood back panel | TOTAL | ₹0 | ||||
- **Hinged vs Sliding shutter** — Hinged (default): cheapest, full-shutter swing-out access, needs 600 mm swing-clearance in front, traditional aesthetic. Sliding: saves swing-clearance (good for narrow bedrooms), adds ~₹150-300/sqft for track + roller hardware, ALWAYS visible track at top + bottom, only 2 of 3 panels accessible at a time. **Walk-in / open wardrobe**: no shutter, premium aesthetic, requires dust-control + dressing-room layout, ~₹400-700/sqft saved on shutter cost.
- **Height ladder** — 2100 mm (7 ft, with loft above for off-season storage); 2400 mm (8 ft, standard floor-to-ceiling, default); 2700 mm (9 ft, tall ceiling rooms); 3000 mm (10 ft+ rooms, double-tier loft with pull-down ladder, premium).
- **Depth ladder** — 500 mm (no hanging capacity, only shelves; saves ₹15-25k vs 600 mm but eliminates wardrobe utility); 600 mm (standard — exactly the depth a shirt hanger occupies); 650 mm (luxury — accommodates premium hangers + dressing gowns + bulky coats).
- **Internal accessory tier** — Basic (4 drawers + 2 hanging rods + shelves): ~₹15-25k accessories. Mid (8 drawers + 2 rods + shelves + pullout shoe rack + mirror): ~₹35-55k. Premium (full drawers + pullout pants rack + tie rack + organisers + LED strip + soft-close everywhere): ~₹75k-1.2L.
- **Shutter material is the biggest cost driver** (just like kitchen) — accounts for ~40 % of total wardrobe cost. Laminate = workhorse; membrane = wrap-around-look at moderate cost; acrylic = glossy premium; PU = luxury; mirror-back shutters = bonus full-length mirror function.
- **Inside LED strip + door sensor** — premium upgrade (₹500-1,500 / Rft) — strip turns on when door opens, off when closed. Standard in luxury wardrobes; rare in mid-tier. Skip unless customer specifically wants showroom feel.
- **Cost target** for default 10 Rft × 2400 mm × 600 mm + hinged + laminate + 4 drawers + 2 rods + loft + mirror strip: approximately **₹1.1-1.6 lakh**. Premium sliding + acrylic + full accessories: ₹2.5-4 L.
- **Excludes**: shoe-rack standalone unit outside wardrobe (₹15-40k); dressing-table with chair (₹25-80k); bed + headboard with under-storage (₹35k-2L); side tables (₹8-25k each); standalone study table / desk (₹15-50k); wall-mounted full-length mirror (₹6-25k).
**Built-in Wardrobe + Storage** is the second most-quoted carpentry item (after [Modular Kitchen](/boq/modular-kitchen)) in every Indian bedroom — every new home / renovation includes 1-4 wardrobes (master + child + guest + dressing). Per-Rft BOQ: BWP plywood (IS 710) carcass + back panel + shutters (hinged or sliding) + finish (laminate / membrane / acrylic / PU / mirror) + internal shelves + hanging rods + soft-close drawers + loft + shoe rack + mirror strip + LED accent + hardware. Cost dominated by: total Rft × height (the carcass + shutter area), shutter type (hinged vs sliding), shutter finish (laminate → PU = 1 : 2.5×), and accessory tier (basic → premium = 1 : 5×). Typical 10 Rft hinged laminate ₹1.1-1.6 lakh; premium 12 Rft sliding acrylic ₹2.5-4 L.
Why built-in wardrobes have replaced free-standing almirah
Two decades ago, every Indian bedroom had a free-standing **steel almirah** (Godrej, ₹8-25k) — durable, mobile, basic. Today, built-in wardrobes dominate new construction for three reasons: (1) **Better space utilisation** — built-in fits exactly into the available wall length × height; almirah leaves gaps top + bottom; (2) **Aesthetic continuity** — shutters in matching finish blend into the room; almirah is always visually a separate object; (3) **Internal organisation** — drawers + rods + dividers laid out per the user's actual clothing pattern; almirah has only shelves + 1 rod. Trade-off: built-in cannot move with you when you change houses. Verdict: built-in for owned property, almirah / open wardrobe for rentals + temporary.
Carcass + back panel — why both matter
**Carcass** (side panels + top + bottom + dividers) is the structural skeleton — 18 mm BWP plywood, edge-banded with PVC tape. This is the wardrobe's load-bearing frame, holds shutter weight + clothing weight + accessory weight. **Back panel** is 6 mm BWP plywood that closes the back of the wardrobe — without it, the wardrobe opens directly to the wall behind. **Why back panel matters even though most people don't see it**: (1) **Dust control** — wall dust + powder migrates into wardrobe contents; (2) **Wall protection** — clothes rubbing against bare wall stain over time (especially light-coloured clothes); (3) **Pest control** — without back panel, wardrobe is a tunnel from wall crevices straight to your clothes; (4) **Rigidity** — back panel resists racking forces (the diagonal-loading of the wardrobe), preventing shutters from going out-of-alignment over 5-10 years. **Always include back panel** — ₹120-180/sqft, total ₹8-15k for a 10 Rft wardrobe, prevents many problems.
