What is the cost of making a new wooden wardrobe?

1. Size Impacts Wardrobe Making Cost

The wardrobe making cost per square feet is calculated by determining the size of the wardrobe which is the total length of the wardrobe multiplied by the height.

But this is an oversimplification of the process of calculating cost as the wardrobe making cost per square feet depends on the materials used and the type of design. For instance, a wardrobe made of solid woods will be more expensive than a laminate wardrobe design and a wall-to wall wardrobe with a loft will be pricier than a smaller double door.

2. Type of Material Affects Cupboard Making Charges

One of the most crucial factors that will determine cupboard making charges is the type of material used. The most common finishes are matte laminate and high gloss. The wardrobe making cost will depend on the type of laminate used, which could range from plywood MDF or HDF or even particleboard. The cheaper options are easy on the pocket but may not be very durable.

3. External Finish Impacts Wardrobe Making Charges

Your wardrobe design should enhance or blend in with the interior décor of the bedroom. There are several options for wardrobe doors, from hinged and sliding doors, to bifold doors.  The kind of door that you opt for will impact the wardrobe making charges.

Similarly, the kind of finish that you choose will also factor into the cost of making wardrobe, for instance, glass fronted doors will be more expensive than plain wood veneers.

5. Hardware Affects Cost of Making Wooden Wardrobe

Fittings, locks, railings, drawer pulls come under the general definition of hardware. Though they may not really make a big difference in the cost of making wooden wardrobe, they will have to be factored in.

Most bespoke wardrobe designers do not add hardware as part of their cost of making wooden wardrobe unless the homeowner wants something extra special. 

6. Labour Cost to Build a Wardrobe

Labour cost to build a wardrobe has to be added when calculating the price of your bespoke wardrobe. The labour cost of making a wardrobe will depend on your location, the style that you have chosen, the materials and other factors. The more skilled your labour needs to be, the higher the cost of making a wardrobe.
