Space management is a big challenge in modern apartments in Singapore. The heart of a beautiful bedroom is its wardrobe. But without proper wardrobe planning, even an expensive wardrobe can make your room look cluttered. Are you looking for the perfect storage solution to store your clothes and accessories?
In this blog, we will discuss how to complete every step from measurement to installation like a pro. Our goal is to give you a clutter-free life.
Step 1: Accurately assess your space and needs
Proper planning starts with analyzing your current habits. Before building your wardrobe, check your inventory.
List clothes and accessories:
- Long-hanging:Coat or long gown.
- Short-hanging:Shirt, blouse or pants.
- Folded items:T-shirts, jeans that are folded.
- Accessories:Watches, belts or jewelry.
Wardrobe Measurement Guide:
The walls of HDB or condo apartments in Singapore are often not perfectly parallel. So measure the height, width and depth at at least three different points. Remember, it is important to leave at least 30 inches of clearance in front of the wardrobe for movement. Make sure that no windows, air-con vents or power sockets are covered. For a perfect fit and durable finish, professional Measurement & InstallationServices is wise to seek its help.
Step 2: Interior Layout Design
When designing a professional wardrobe, we usually adhere to aspecific ratio or proportion.
Storage Ratio Guide:
| Storage type | Ratio | Who is it for? |
| Hanging Space | 70% | Those who wear shirts/coats a lot |
| Folded/Drawers | 30% | Those who prefer casual clothes |
You can include shoe racks, jewelry trays, and tie holders in your layout. Motion-sensor LED lighting andUSB charging stations are quite popular in modern wardrobes these days. You can use sketches or 3D online planners to visualize the design. If you need a skilled Singapore carpentry expert to turn your design into reality, don’t hesitate tocontact us.
Step 3: Select the right materials and components
Materials should be selected keeping in mind Singapore’s humid climate or humidity.
- Plywood:It is the most durable and moisture-resistant. It is what we use most in custom furniture in Singapore.
- MDF:It is affordable and gives a smooth finish, but can deteriorate very quickly when exposed to water.
- Hardware:Always use soft-close hinges and drawer slides.
Material comparison at a glance:
| Features | Plywood | MDF |
| Durability | Too much | Medium |
| Moisture resistance | Excellent | Weak |
| Price | A little more | Affordable |
Step 4: Preparation and Assembly
Before starting the installation, prepare the necessary tools such as a drill machine, spirit level, screws, and wall plugs.
- Frame Construction:First, build the main frame of the wardrobe.
- Leveling:Use a spirit level to check that the frame is plumb and level. Many older floors in Singapore can be uneven, so it’s best to use adjustable legs.
- Wall Anchoring:Be sure to anchor the wardrobe firmly to the wall to ensure safety.
Step 5: Internal Component and Finishing Installation
Once the main frame is in place, it’s time to install the drawers, shelves, and hanging rails.
- Alignment:When installing doors or shutters, adjust the hinges to ensure that the gap between the two doors is equal.
- Sliding Doors:If space is limited, use sliding doors.
- Final Touches:Finish the joints with silicone or wood putty. Finally, use a good quality laminate or paint.

Expert Tips and Hacks for Wardrobe Planning
As a carpentry expert, here are some of my top tips:
- 80/20 Rule:Always keep 20% of your wardrobe empty so that you have space when buying new clothes.
- Vertical Space:Build a wardrobe up to the ceiling. You can store seasonal items or suitcases above it.
- Light Colors:Using light-colored laminate in a small room makes the room appear larger.
