For Singapore homeowners craving clutter-free living spaces, high-end made to measure wardrobe systems aren’t just furniture—they’re lifestyle upgrades. This guide uncovers how MRETTY delivers precision-crafted, eco-luxury wardrobes tailored to local needs.
Why Singaporeans Are Choosing Made to Measure Wardrobe Systems Over Pre-Made Options
Singapore’s compact HDB flats and luxury condos demand storage that fits, not just fills. Unlike generic wardrobes, made to measure wardrobe systems adapt to sloped ceilings, awkward corners, and specific storage habits—critical for maximizing 45-90 sqm homes. MRETTY’s 2025 data shows 78% of our clients prioritize customization for space efficiency, with 62% citing “long-term durability” as their top concern. Here’s how to transform your storage woes into a seamless, stylish solution.
Step 1: Audit Your Space & Lifestyle Needs (With MRETTY’s Free 3D Scan)
Before drafting blueprints, we deploy laser-measuring tools to capture millimeter-accurate dimensions—even for slanted walls or beam intrusions common in older HDB blocks. Our designers then interview clients to map habits: Do you hang formal wear? Need pull-out shoe racks? Require a hidden safe compartment? For example, a recent client in River Vista condo wanted “no visible clutter” for frequent guests; we embedded a retractable jewelry tray and LED-lit makeup zone.
MRETTY Pro Tip:Share photos of your current wardrobe’s pain points (e.g., jammed drawers, insufficient hanging space) via our website to fast-track your consultation.
Step 2: Select Eco-Luxury Materials—ENF-Grade OSB & Beyond
Singapore’s humid climate demands materials that resist warping and off-gassing. MRETTY uses ENF-level oriented strand board (OSB)—the industry’s strictest emission standard (≤0.025mg/m³ formaldehyde)—paired with E0-grade water-based paint for zero toxic fumes. Competitors often use E1 OSB (0.124mg/m³), which can degrade faster in tropical conditions. Our aerospace aluminum honeycomb core adds lightweight strength, reducing door panel sagging by 40% over 10 years.

Step 3: Design Your Dream Layout—With Hidden Hinges & J-Groove Details
MRETTY’s CAD software lets clients visualize wardrobes in real time, tweaking options like:
-
25mm-thick doors: 30% sturdier than standard 18mm panels, ideal for heavy coats or mirrored surfaces.
-
Hidden hinges: Eliminate protruding handles for a sleek, modern look (popular in Singapore’s minimalist homes).
-
J-groove paneling: Adds depth to plain doors while hiding minor scratches—perfect for families with kids.
For a client in Bukit Timah, we incorporated a “his-and-hers” section with soft-close drawers for her lingerie and a pull-out tie rack for his suits. The result? A clutter-free master suite featured in Design Singaporemagazine.
Step 4: Solve Problem Areas—Like Water-Resistant Sink Cabinets
Wet areas need extra care. MRETTY’s full aluminum cladding for under-sink wardrobes prevents moisture absorption, a common issue in Singapore’s high-humidity bathrooms. Unlike competitors’ MDF bases (which swell after 2-3 years), our solution stays warp-free for decades. One client in Punggol reported zero mold growth even after 18 months—thanks to this innovation.
Step 5: Finalize with Soft Furnishings & Post-Installation Support
We don’t stop at installation. MRETTY provides complimentary 2D/3D soft furnishing mockups to align your wardrobe with bedroom decor. Plus, our team seals floors with protective film during installation—no scratches on your new marble tiles. Post-launch, we offer annual check-ups to tighten hinges or adjust shelves as your needs evolve.
Real Client Success: From Chaos to Calm in a 65-Sqft HDB Studio
Meet Priya, a marketing manager in Tampines. Her 65-sqft studio had a tiny bedroom with a wall niche too narrow for standard wardrobes. She wanted:
-
Storage for 30+ outfits + 15 pairs of shoes
-
A hidden charging station for devices
-
No visible clutter
MRETTY designed a 1.8m-tall made to measure wardrobe system with:
-
A 15-degree angled top shelf to fit the niche
-
Built-in USB ports in the middle drawer
-
25mm matte white doors with J-groove detailing
Priya now calls it “my favorite part of the flat”—and her friends have since booked consultations.
