A built-in wardrobe is usually priced by the foot in Malaysia. Here are the real 2026 ranges for swing-door, sliding-door and walk-in wardrobes, so you can budget before you call.
The short answer
In 2026, built-in wardrobes in Malaysia run roughly RM160–RM280 per foot for swing-door and RM250–RM450+ per foot for sliding-door, depending on boards and finish. A typical 6–10ft bedroom wardrobe lands around RM2,500–RM8,000; a walk-in wardrobe costs more because of the extra runs and accessories.
Swing door vs sliding door — the price difference
Swing (hinged) doors are the more affordable option and let you see the whole wardrobe at once. Sliding doors cost more per foot because of the track system and thicker door panels, but they save floor space — ideal for a narrow condo bedroom where a swing door has nowhere to open.
Wardrobe price per foot by material (2026)
- Particleboard + melamine — RM160–RM240/ft (budget, dry bedrooms)
- Moisture-resistant plywood + laminate — RM260–RM380/ft (durable, most popular)
- Plywood + acrylic or glass doors — RM400–RM600+/ft (premium finish)
- Sliding-door system — add roughly RM80–RM150/ft over swing-door for the track and panels
What changes the price
- Height — full-height (floor-to-ceiling) stores more but costs more than a standard box
- Internal fittings — drawers, pull-out trays, trouser racks, LED lighting and soft-close all add up
- Door finish — mirror, glass and acrylic fronts cost more than plain laminate
- Layout — an L-shape or walk-in has more linear feet than a single wall
Rough cost by wardrobe type
A 6ft 3-door swing wardrobe in moisture-resistant plywood is commonly around RM2,500–RM4,000. A 10ft full-height sliding-door wardrobe is more like RM5,000–RM9,000. A walk-in wardrobe, depending on size and accessories, often starts around RM8,000 and goes up from there.
Regional note — Johor Bahru and the south
Wardrobe prices are broadly similar across Malaysia; labour and workshop overheads make the difference. In Johor Bahru, where many workshops also serve Singapore homes, pricing is competitive — see our Johor Bahru custom wardrobe guide for local ranges and styles.
