Wardrobes in Pakistan: Designs, Materials, Types and Price Ranges
Wardrobes in Pakistan range from a free-standing steel almari to a full fitted wall of sliding doors, and the right choice depends on the room, the budget and how long you will stay. Most bedrooms need hanging space, shelves and drawers, and the door type decides how much floor space the wardrobe uses. This guide compares the types, explains materials and fittings, gives planning rates by quality and links to a guide for every type. For fittings, see wardrobe accessories.
Wardrobe types compared
The type decides space, cost and look.
| Type | Best for | Note |

| Built-in wardrobe | Making the most of a wall | Custom fit, higher cost |
| Sliding wardrobe | Narrow rooms | No swing space; needs a good track |
| Hinged wardrobe | Most bedrooms | Needs swing clearance |
| Walk-in wardrobe | Large homes | Needs a dedicated room |
| Steel or aluminium almari | Durability, humid homes | Fewer styles |
| Portable and plastic | Rented homes, tight budgets | Light, limited life |
Guides: built-in, sliding, walk-in and steel wardrobes.

Fitted wardrobes are priced by the sq ft of visible face. These are indicative installed planning rates for Lahore.

Indicative installed planning rates per sq ft of wardrobe face. Actual quotes depend on board, hardware and design.
Materials
Laminated MDF and HDHMR are the most common boards, with plywood, solid wood, steel and aluminium as alternatives. Choose moisture-resistant board in humid homes and check the edge banding. See wooden wardrobes and aluminium wardrobes for the options.
Size and the room
A typical fitted wardrobe is around 42 sq ft of visible face, and depth is commonly about 22 to 24 in. Measure the wall, the ceiling height and the window and door positions. Our wardrobe and kitchen calculator turns face area into a quick estimate.
Inside the wardrobe
Plan hanging rails at different heights, shelves, drawers and a shoe space. Soft-close hinges, tandem drawers and internal lighting make daily use better. See wardrobe fittings for the choices.

A typical fitted wardrobe has around 42 sq ft of visible face, with a depth of about 22 to 24 in for hanging clothes. Size it to your clothes, the wall and the room, and keep clear space for opening doors or sliding panels.
Sliding doors save floor space and suit narrow rooms, but open only part of the wardrobe at a time and depend on a good track. Hinged doors give full access but need swing clearance. Choose by room width and use.
Laminated MDF or HDHMR is the common choice for fitted wardrobes, plywood and solid wood suit premium work, and steel or aluminium suit humid or termite-prone homes. Choose moisture-resistant board where damp is a risk and check the edge banding. If in doubt, send a photo and the measurements and we will advise.
