How much do fitted wardrobes cost in 2025?

Fitted wardrobes can be a great investment, especially if you're short on storage or space - but prices vary a lot. 

To find out how much you can expect to spend on fitted wardrobes in 2025, we consulted the Building Cost Information Service (BCIS), which provided us with pricing breakdowns for a range of flat-pack wardrobes. 

Remember, as with any home improvement project, you should always factor in 10-20% of your total budget for contingency costs in case any issues arise.

Bespoke fitted wardrobe costs

Bespoke wardrobes are great, even essential, if you have a very awkward space or specific ideas about what you would like. 

With bespoke wardrobes, you can customise everything from the design of your doors and hardware to the type of hanging rails and drawer runners. 

Because of all the possible variations, it's difficult to estimate a price per metre without having at least a rough idea of the size and specifications of your wardrobe. 

Once you have an idea of what you would like, we recommend you get at least three quotes from both large and independent fitted wardrobe companies. 

Remember, the majority of bespoke fitted wardrobes will require professional installation, so you will also need to factor this into your budget.

Fitted wardrobe costs by brand

Prices vary significantly between brands because they produce wardrobes of different quality and provide different services.

Fortunately, even cheap brands still offer fairly customisable options, although they might not have the design or installation services to help you find the right fit. 

Argos

• Argos offers modular bedroom furniture which can be configured to create the appearance of a fitted wardrobe. 
• Prices start from around £100 for a single-door wardrobe and £150 for a three-drawer unit. 
• To create a premium feel, you will need to carefully design these wardrobes and possibly work with a tradesperson, so ensure you factor this into your costs.

B&Q 

• B&Q offers fitted wardrobe systems with fully customisable interiors. Once you've configured your storage, you can choose your doors. 
• You can also opt for preconfigured ranges - expect to pay upwards of £100 for a double wardrobe with shelving (without doors).
• Prices start from around £200 for a double sliding door. 

Hammonds

• Hammonds offers a full design and installation service, as well as totally customisable, premium wardrobes. 
• Prices for small single wardrobes start from around £2,000, but expect to pay in the region of £10,000 for a more complex project. 

Ikea

• Ikea has two types of wardrobe which can be configured to make a fitted wardrobe system. 
• Platsa is a system of pre-designed modules that can be assembled to make a fitted wardrobe, with prices starting at around £100. 
• Pax is the wardrobe that most closely resembles standard fitted wardrobes. A standard two-door wardrobe starts from £250. 

Sharps

• Like Hammonds, Sharps offers a premium fitted wardrobe service.
• Expect to pay in the region of £10,000 for a standard set of fitted wardrobes of average size. 

Wickes

• Like B&Q and Argos, Wickes offers modular storage systems which you can customise to your space, and then add doors to create a fitted wardrobe.
• You will pay upwards of £250 for a single wardrobe with doors included. 

As well as costs, we've compiled customer reviews and buying advice for brands including Hammonds, Sharps and Ikea

How to save money on your fitted wardrobes

If you do want to go ahead with fitted wardrobes, here are our top money-saving tips.

When buying your wardrobe units:

• Always consider quality. Cheaper models might initially save you money, but they’ll cost more in the long term if they need to be replaced or repaired. Our research reveals the best wardrobe brands, including real customers' ratings for build quality and durability. 
• Upgrade your doors. If you want to save money, opting for a cheaper interior with premium doors will give the appearance of higher-quality furniture. 
• Limit the extras. When you start designing your wardrobe, it's easy to add a lot of premium extras such as soft-close doors and pull-down clothes rails, but the cost of these upgrades stacks up. Go in with a clear idea of what you need and your budget to avoid overspending. 

When organising your installation:

• Find out if you can choose your own trader. Check if your company will let you organise your own installation - this might be a lot cheaper than using an in-house fitter. 
• Find a reliable local tradesperson. Check Which? Trusted Traders for a fitter near you.
• Look for contractors that offer a fixed contract. This means that prices can't go up or down (except in the case of certain predefined circumstances)
• Always get a detailed quote. Make sure your quote covers everything you need so you don’t have any unexpected surprises.

Finally, as is the case for every home improvement project, make sure you add a contingency of at least 15% to your final budget. This will cover any unexpected circumstances or price rises.

Do fitted wardrobes add value to your home?

Fitted wardrobes can add a moderate amount of value to your home, but this will depend on:

• How much storage you already have - the more existing storage, the less value your wardrobes will add.
• The type of room in which you add the wardrobe - adding wardrobes into awkward spaces which might otherwise be unused will add more value.
• The style of wardrobe - more neutral wardrobes will add more value, as buyers are less likely to dislike them. 

Bear in mind that it's expensive to renovate your home at the moment, due to significant increases in the price of labour. 

If you are considering buying fitted wardrobes with the aim of increasing your property's resale value, it's probably not a good time to do so. 

Are fitted wardrobes worth it?

Fitted wardrobes sound great in theory, but we wanted to find out whether real wardrobe owners are happy with their purchase or had regrets. 

That's why we asked more than 2,500 Which? members and members of the public with fitted wardrobes to tell us about their experience.

BCIS research and Which? fitted wardrobes surveys

The Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) database analyses price data from a variety of sources. 

Material costs are based on the best trade prices from a range of suppliers across the UK, benchmarked to reveal the best national average.  

Labour rates are based on the current Building and Allied Trades Joint Industrial Council wage agreement. 

All of this data is put into a standardised model of a fitted wardrobe. The prices include everything needed to install new fitted wardrobes, including any preliminary work, materials, labour, contractor overheads, profit and VAT. Prices are correct as of November 2024. 

Our fitted wardrobe research is based on Which? consumer surveys.

In May 2022,  we asked 2,966 Which? members and members of the public who have bought fitted wardrobes in the past 10 years to rate their fitted bedroom furniture. 

We average companies’ scores to find the best wardrobe brands.
