Custom Walk In Closet Design Singapore: 5 Steps to Luxury Storage

Living in Singapore’s compact urban landscape, every square foot of your home demands intentionality—especially your walk-in closet. A custom walk in closet design isn’t just about storing clothes; it’s about crafting a personalized sanctuary that aligns with your lifestyle, withstands Singapore’s humidity, and elevates your home’s luxury quotient. At MRETTY, we’ve spent a decade perfecting high-end, ENF-grade OSB custom wardrobes for Singaporeans, combining sustainable innovation with bespoke functionality. Whether you’re in a Marina Bay condo or a Tampines HDB, our 5-step process, industry-leading materials, and local expertise will transform your closet from a cluttered space into a dream storage solution.

Step 1: Assess Your Space & Lifestyle with MRETTY’s Free In-Home Survey

 

The foundation of any great custom walk in closet design is understanding your unique needs—and Singapore’s spatial constraints. Unlike generic brands that rely on standard measurements, MRETTY offers complimentary in-home consultationswhere our designers:

• Map your bedroom’s layout to maximize usable space (even in 800 sq ft HDB units!).

• Analyze your clothing habits (e.g., do you hang 80% of your wardrobe or fold?)

• Account for Singapore-specific factors like natural light, ventilation, and moisture levels.

For example, if you live in a Bukit Timah condo with floor-to-ceiling windows, we’ll position shelves to avoid blocking light while keeping delicate fabrics away from direct sun. For families with kids, we add lockable drawers for safety and low-hanging rods for easy access. This step ensures your closet isn’t just beautiful—it’s lived-in.

Step 2: Choose Sustainable, Singapore-Friendly Materials (ENF OSB + Aluminum Tech)

 

Singaporeans prioritize sustainability—and so do we. MRETTY uses only FSC-certified ENF-grade oriented strand board (OSB) for our closet frames, which boasts:

• Zero formaldehyde emissions (critical for humid climates where VOCs linger).

• 10x better moisture resistance than particleboard (perfect for Singapore’s year-round dampness).

• 100% recyclable—aligning with Singapore’s Zero Waste Masterplan.

Paired with our aerospace-grade aluminum honeycomb door panels, your closet stays lightweight yet durable—even with 25mm-thick doors that resist warping. The E0-level water-based paint finish? It’s food-safe and scratch-resistant, ideal for families with curious little ones.

Why this beats competitors:Generic local brands use MDF or non-FSC particleboard that swells in humidity. International chains often skip ENF certification, compromising indoor air quality.

Step 3: Optimize Storage with Custom Modular Solutions

 

A custom walk in closet design thrives on smart storage—and MRETTY’s modular system is built for Singaporean lifestyles. We offer:

• Adjustable steel rods: Hang long dresses andshort tops without wasting space.

• Deep drawers with soft-close glides: Store folded jeans, underwear, or accessories without noise.

• Pull-out pant racks: Fit 20+ pairs of trousers in a 12-inch depth.

• Waterproof aluminum-wrapped sink cabinets: A game-changer for walk-ins with vanities—no more warped panels from splashes.

Our 25mm-thick shelves? They hold 50kg per square foot—enough for heavy winter coats or stacked shoe boxes. And with J-shaped groove detailing, dust slides right off—less cleaning, more relaxing.

Step 4: Prioritize Aesthetics with Hidden Details & Premium Finishes

 

Luxury is in the details—and MRETTY hides them beautifully. Our hidden hinges eliminate unsightly hardware, while the J-groove design adds subtle texture to door panels. Choose from 12 matte finishes (from warm oak to charcoal grey) to match your bedroom’s vibe.

For modern minimalist lovers, we recommend our “Stealth” collection: flush-mounted doors, hidden handles, and LED strip lighting that glows softly along shelf edges. For classic elegance, our “Heritage” line features hand-carved aluminum accents and pearl-white lacquer.

Pro tip:We use 5-base 3-top paint technology to ensure even color distribution—no brush strokes, just a smooth, spa-like finish.

Step 5: Finalize with MRETTY’s Soft Furnishing & 3D Visualization

 

You shouldn’t have to guess what your closet will look like. MRETTY provides free 3D renderings of your design, complete with soft furnishing mockups (e.g., velvet-lined jewelry trays, linen-lined drawers). We’ll even send you a sample swatch of your chosen materials to approve before production.

Once finalized, our team installs your closet in 3–5 days with zero disruption—we protect your floors with anti-scratch film and clean up thoroughly afterward.

Real Singaporean Case Study: The Lims’ 10 sq ft Walk-In Closet Transformation

 

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Lim, homeowners in a 900 sq ft Punggol condo. Their biggest pain point? A tiny 6 sq ft walk-in closet that couldn’t fit both their wardrobes—and their kids’ seasonal clothes. They wanted a custom walk in closet design that was:

1. Moisture-resistant (their old MDF cabinet warped in 6 months).

2. Space-saving (they hate clutter).

3. Stylish (they love modern Scandi design).

MRETTY’s Solution:

• Materials: ENF OSB frame + aluminum honeycomb doors (25mm thick).

• Storage: Adjustable rods for hanging, deep drawers for baby clothes, and a waterproof sink cabinet.

• Aesthetics: Matte charcoal grey finish with J-groove detailing and hidden LED lights.

• Bonus: We added a pull-out shoe rack that fits 15 pairs—perfect for Mrs. Lim’s heels.

The Result:

Their closet went from 6 sq ft to 10 sq ft (using corner space they never thought to utilize!). Storage capacity increased by 70%, and the aluminum panels haven’t warped—even after 18 months in Singapore’s humidity. “We finally have a closet that feels like a luxury store,” Mrs. Lim said. “And the best part? No more moldy clothes!”
