One of the first questions people ask when considering custom furniture is: “How much will it actually cost?” The honest answer is — it depends. But here’s what it depends on, so you can plan without surprises.
What Actually Drives the Price
1. Material choice This is the biggest cost variable. The same wardrobe in commercial-grade plywood costs very differently than one in BWP (Boiling Waterproof) marine ply. Both are valid choices — it depends on your location in the house and budget.
2. Size and complexity A straight modular kitchen costs less than a U-shaped one. A plain wardrobe costs less than one with a mirror panel, soft-close channels, and built-in lighting. Every design decision has a cost attached.
3. Hardware quality Soft-close hinges, channels, handles, and locks are the parts of furniture you interact with every single day. Cheap hardware fails in 2–3 years. Good hardware lasts 10+ years. The price gap between average and good hardware is smaller than you’d expect — but the difference in experience is huge.
4. Finishing and laminate High-gloss laminates cost more than matte. Textured finishes cost more than plain. PVC edging quality matters too.
Realistic Budget Ranges for Indore
These are approximate starting ranges for standard work:
- Modular kitchen (straight, 8–10 ft): ₹80,000 – ₹1,50,000+
- L-shaped modular kitchen: ₹1,20,000 – ₹2,50,000+
- Sliding wardrobe (6 ft wide): ₹35,000 – ₹80,000+
- TV unit (wall-mounted, 6 ft): ₹20,000 – ₹50,000+
- Full bedroom set: ₹90,000 – ₹2,00,000+
Final prices vary significantly based on the factors above. Always get a site visit and written estimate before committing.
Two Ways to Work with a Furniture Contractor
With Material — the contractor sources everything. You get a single quoted price, one point of accountability, and no running around to hardware shops. Slightly higher total cost, but zero hassle.
Percentage Basis — you arrange the material, the contractor provides labour and execution. Lower cost, but you carry the responsibility of sourcing.
Neither is better — it depends on your time, budget, and preference.
The Question to Always Ask
Before you hire anyone, ask: “What warranty do you give in writing?”
A contractor confident in their work will give you a written warranty. One who can’t or won’t — that tells you something.
