Fitted Wardrobe Prices in Kenya
A fitted wardrobe in Kenya costs KES 22,000 to 35,000 per square metre for a mid-range MDF unit, rising to KES 40,000 to 100,000 or more per square metre for luxury joinery in imported boards or bespoke finishes. Hauzisha Interiors has designed, built and installed fitted wardrobes across Nairobi and Kenya since 2019, and this guide sets out the real 2026 price ranges so you can budget your bedroom or dressing room before you commit. Because a fitted wardrobe is measured by the square metre of its front, or face, the figures below are typical ranges, and we give a fixed KES quote after a free measurement at your home.
Fitted wardrobe price list in Kenya (2026)
| Item | Typical price (Kenya) |
|---|---|
| Mid-range MDF fitted wardrobe | KES 22,000 to 35,000 per square metre of face |
| Luxury / custom joinery (imported boards, bespoke) | KES 40,000 to 100,000+ per square metre of face |
| Sliding doors (added to a fitted unit) | from KES 8,000 per square metre of door |
| Hinged doors (added to a fitted unit) | from KES 5,000 per square metre of door |
| Internal drawer bank (per drawer) | from KES 3,500 each |
| Walk-in closet fit-out | from KES 180,000 for a small room |
| Ready-made / portable wardrobe (not fitted) | KES 8,000 to 25,000 per unit |
The square-metre figure covers the full wardrobe front from floor to ceiling, including the carcass, doors, shelving and hanging rails. Ready-made and portable wardrobes are cheaper because they are freestanding boxes, not built into your wall, so they do not use your ceiling height or fill an alcove.
What affects the price of a fitted wardrobe in Kenya
Four things move the price. The material is the biggest driver: standard MDF sits at the bottom of the range, marine or moisture-resistant plywood costs more, and solid wood or real-wood veneer on imported board takes you into luxury territory. The size sets the total, because a fitted wardrobe is priced by the square metre of its front, so a full wall of storage costs more than a single one-metre run. Internal fittings add up quickly: drawer banks, pull-out shoe racks, trouser rails, glass shelves and internal LED lighting each carry their own cost, and the door type matters too, with sliding doors costing more than hinged ones. Finally, the finish changes the figure, as a plain melamine face is cheaper than a high-gloss lacquer, a fluted panel or a real-wood veneer.
Fitted wardrobe price by type
Mid-range MDF wardrobes are the standard choice for most Nairobi bedrooms at KES 22,000 to 35,000 per square metre of face, giving a clean, durable unit with melamine or laminate doors. Luxury and custom joinery runs KES 40,000 to 100,000 or more per square metre, using imported boards, solid-wood frames, veneers and bespoke internal layouts. On doors, hinged doors are the more affordable option and open fully for easy access, while sliding doors cost more but save floor space and suit narrow rooms. A walk-in closet is priced as a full room fit-out rather than a single wall, so a small walk-in starts from around KES 180,000 and a large dressing room with an island, drawers and lighting runs well past KES 500,000. Ready-made and portable wardrobes are the cheapest at KES 8,000 to 25,000, but they are not fitted and do not last or store like built-in joinery.
How to budget and get an accurate quote
To budget, measure the width of the wall you want to fill and the floor-to-ceiling height, multiply those two figures to get the square metres of face, then multiply by the per-square-metre range above for your chosen material. Add the internal fittings you want, a drawer bank, sliding doors or lighting, and you have a rough figure. That gives you a working budget, but a fitted wardrobe is built to your exact wall, alcove and ceiling, so the only accurate number comes from a measured survey. We offer a free consultation and measurement across Nairobi, then give a fixed KES quote with no guesswork.

Fitted wardrobe cost FAQ
How much does a fitted wardrobe cost per metre in Kenya?
A mid-range MDF fitted wardrobe costs KES 22,000 to 35,000 per square metre of its front, and luxury joinery in imported boards or bespoke finishes runs KES 40,000 to 100,000 or more per square metre. The price is measured by the square metre of the wardrobe face, from floor to ceiling.
Is MDF or solid wood better for a fitted wardrobe?
MDF is the value choice and keeps a mid-range wardrobe at KES 22,000 to 35,000 per square metre, giving a smooth, stable surface for melamine or laminate. Solid wood and real-wood veneer cost more and sit in the luxury band from KES 40,000 per square metre, but they last longer and take a finer finish.
Do sliding doors cost more than hinged doors?
Yes. Sliding doors cost more than hinged doors because of the track, rollers and larger panels, but they save floor space and suit narrow rooms. Hinged doors are more affordable and open fully for easy access to the full wardrobe.
How much does a walk-in closet cost in Kenya?
A walk-in closet is priced as a full room fit-out rather than a single wall. A small walk-in starts from around KES 180,000, and a large dressing room with an island, drawer banks and lighting runs past KES 500,000, depending on the material and fittings.
Is a fitted wardrobe worth it over a ready-made one?
A ready-made or portable wardrobe costs KES 8,000 to 25,000 and is a freestanding box you can move. A fitted wardrobe is built into your wall, uses the full ceiling height and fills awkward alcoves, so it stores far more and lasts longer, which is why it costs from KES 22,000 per square metre of face.
