I have a built-in wardrobe without internal panels. I am planning to add some panels in it.

I bought 18 mm furniture panels with melamine coated.

How can I attach a horizontal panel to a vertical panel (T-Joint) ?

Should I used some wood plugs ?

The usual method is to use a jig to drill rows of holes,

then use plastic clips that press into the holes and support the shelf.

There are many variations, including metal versions, some including holes for screws.

You could use dowels but that would look slightly less neat perhaps.

  • Shorts might do them ... but they are local to me. That's probably why shopping questions don't fare well on stackexchange websites. Try your local large national-chain DIY store. Apr 27, 2016 at 13:15
  • The shelf supports are very common; the jig less so, but you can do without if you're precise in your drilling. Apr 27, 2016 at 14:30
  • do a search for "shelf pins" on Amazon, tons of different types. You can also check out shelf pilasters and clips if you haven't assembled the panels yet.
