What's Worth Buying vs Skip
Worth It
- Soft-close hinges on all shutters — no slamming, extended hinge life
- Pull-out trouser rack — keeps trousers visible and wrinkle-free
- Tandem soft-close drawers — transforms the daily experience
- Mirror on one shutter — adds the functionality of a full-length mirror at no extra space cost
Skip or Optional
- Built-in LED interior lights (nice but adds ₹8,000–₹15,000; a good external light works fine)
- Motorised lift mechanisms — expensive, rarely used after novelty wears off
- Very small jewellery carousels — impractical for Indian jewellery collection sizes

Design Your Wardrobe →Frequently Asked Questions
Which brand of wardrobe fittings is best in India?
Hettich and Grass are the top premium brands for hinges and drawer systems. Ebco offers good mid-range quality for Indian budgets. For sliding tracks, Hettich and Hafele are both excellent. Avoid unbranded hardware — it fails within 3–5 years.
What is a soft-close hinge and why is it important?
A soft-close hinge has a hydraulic damper that slows the door in the last 15 degrees of closing — preventing slamming. It extends the life of the wardrobe cabinet significantly and is essential for quality wardrobes. Cost: ₹150–₹350 per hinge for branded.
How many pairs of shoes should I plan for in a wardrobe?
Plan for at least 24–30 pairs for a couple's wardrobe. Each angled shelf holds 4–6 pairs depending on shoe size. A 600mm-wide shoe section with 5 shelves holds about 20–25 pairs.
What accessories are absolutely must-have in a wardrobe?
Must-haves are: soft-close hinges (all doors), soft-close drawer channels, a trouser pull-out rack (hugely practical), and a dedicated jewellery/accessory drawer with dividers.
