Custom furniture in Singapore, priced only when a row already exists

Custom furniture is the search that mixes a sofa workshop, a dining table, a platform bed and a whole-flat carpentry package. Homey Furnishing prices a job only when the photo matches a band already printed. A carpenter-built sofa, dining table, platform bed, study table, TV console or bookshelf is quote on inspection. A flat-pack bed is S$80 to S$150. A full kitchen replacement, when that comparison matches, is S$5,000 to S$6,500. No foot-run is added on this page.

How it works

  1. 1

    Send one photo of each piece, the block, and whether the home is HDB, condo or landed.

  2. 2

    We match a band already printed on HomeySG, or we say quote on inspection.

  3. 3

    A layout change, hacking, or a built-in strip-out is named as V On Construction. A truck is not included.

  4. 4

    You confirm the scope before anyone comes. Curtains, blinds and roller shades stay off the booking.

What this job actually is

1. Name the piece 2. Flat-pack or carpenter 3. Match a printed row 4. Otherwise a quote
Name the piece before you ask for a package

People search custom furniture Singapore, bespoke furniture, and made to measure when they want a piece that a showroom size will not fit. The results are workshops, upholstery houses and carpentry blogs that print their own price lists. Those lists are not measurements HomeySG has made, so they are not reprinted. This page is the index. If the photo is a flat-pack, the assembly catalogue applies. If the photo is a carpenter carcass scribed to a wall, the line is quote on inspection. The carpentry page is where a built-in wardrobe, a kitchen and a shoe cabinet start. This page does not rewrite them.

What “custom” means here is simple. The piece is built or altered to a size you measured, or the showroom size cannot pass the lift and the stair. It is not a synonym for expensive, and it is not a promise that every timber species is in stock. A MALM bed frame is not custom. It is S$80 to S$150 when it is that frame, or S$120 to S$200 when it is a storage bed or a bunk. A PAX that is still a wardrobe is S$100 to S$650. A small cube shelf that is genuinely a small item is S$50 to S$80. A KALLAX the width of the wall, a sofa with a new frame, and a table cut for an HDB bay are quote on inspection. Product names do not create new prices.

The pieces people add to one WhatsApp message are usually a sofa, a dining table, a platform bed, a study table, a TV console and a bookshelf. Each has its own page so a dining-chair re-cover is not priced as a sofa and a motorised desk is not priced as a carpenter study table. A motorised standing desk with monitor arms is S$140 to S$260 on the desk page. That sentence is a desk product. A carpenter L-shaped study table is quote on inspection. Wall-mounting the television is the TV mounting page. Moving a bracket between two addresses is S$40 to S$70. A feature wall that has to be hacked is not a console. It is the permit path.

Permission is the other half of the message. A loose table or a loose sofa does not change the flat’s layout. HDB’s important information on renovation is about renovation. The same page, as already quoted on this site, says failing to use a listed contractor for renovations, or breaching the renovation rules, can lead to a fine of up to $5,000. Assembly of a loose piece is not that sentence. Hacking, a new kitchen layout, or stripping a built-in off the wall can be. V On Construction invoices the permit. Homey Furnishing invoices the exempt visit. SCDF clause 7.2 is why a tall carcass is not screwed into a household shelter wall. BCA’s list of building works is the plan-approval question. A loose piece does not open it. A structural opening would.

Two searches this page will not answer with a ranking. “Best custom furniture” and “custom furniture near me” produce showroom lists and a map. Homey Furnishing is not a furniture shop with a suburb rate, and this page does not score other makers. “Custom furniture maker salary” is a job search, not a booking. Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not added because a room is being furnished. Send the piece, the block, and whether the home is HDB, condo or landed.

Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K), 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931, invoices permit-exempt furniture assembly and repair. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H), on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors, invoices an HDB renovation permit when the work is a new layout, hacking, or a built-in strip-out. Homey Furnishing is not a removal company and does not publish a truck rate.

Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not part of this booking. Fabric window treatments are a different product, and these pages do not quote them.

What to do first

Look at the piece in the room. Do not drag a tall wardrobe across a wet floor to test it.

  1. Name each piece separately: sofa, table, bed, study table, console, bookshelf, or an existing built-in.
  2. Photograph the lift door and the tightest turn if the piece is new.
  3. Say whether it is still in a carton or has to be built.
  4. Do not send another site’s price list and ask us to honour it.
  5. Read the piece page, then the carpentry page if the job is a built-in.

HDB, condo and landed

The building changes the permission and the disposal path. It does not invent a second price.

QuestionHDBCondoLanded
HDBLoose pieces need no renovation permit. A new layout, hacking, or a built-in strip-out can. Shelter walls are refused as anchors.Measure the lift and the stair before the piece is built.Town council bulky rules are for loose items, not for a built-in still on the wall.
CondoSame dollar rule. An MCST deposit is not a furniture price.Service lift and protection are access.A balcony piece is still a quote if it is custom.
LandedNo HDB permit for a loose piece. Stairs and a void are access.Termites in structural timber are not hidden behind a new plinth.The kitchen comparison applies only when the kitchen matches it.

What to send so the reply can match a row

A useful photo shows the piece in the room, the opening it must pass, and whether the carcass is loose or screwed to the wall. A mood board does not. Write the clear width of the lift door and the tightest corner in millimetres you measured, not a figure copied from another block. Flats of the same room type do not share one lift. If you have not measured, say so. We will not invent the opening.

Material is a second photo, not a surcharge printed here. Solid wood, veneer, laminate, plywood and MDF fail differently in a closed Singapore room. The materials guide says how. It does not add a teak rate or a veneer rate. If the job is only a hinge, a runner or a flat-pack, stop and use that page. Custom is the wrong word for a screw that is loose.

Shops, contractors and the page you actually need

Autocomplete puts “shop”, “maker” and “contractor” on the same query. A shop sells a finished piece from a floor. A maker builds to a measure. A contractor may be asking for a renovation. Homey Furnishing is the permit-exempt visit: assembly, repair, and a custom piece that does not need an HDB renovation permit. V On Construction is the company on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors when the work is a permit. We do not pretend to be both on one invoice.

The carpentry cost guide already lists the printed bands and the lines that stay a quote. Use it when the question is money. Use the piece pages below when the question is which product you have. A warranty period, a deposit percentage and a lead time in weeks are not printed, because copying a showroom’s promise would invent one. The lead-time guide says what is printed and what is not.

How you're charged

How you're charged

A furniture job that already has a sentence on HomeySG uses that sentence. Nothing in this table is a fuel surcharge, and the handyman hour is not added on top of a band unless the written scope says so. IKEA publishes its own checkout fee. That percentage is not a HomeySG band.

Who may do the work

Who is allowed to do the work

The permit guide on this site already splits hardware from a renovation. A cabinet hinge, a gas strut and a drawer runner do not need an HDB renovation permit when the layout stays. A new kitchen or bathroom layout, hacking, or removing a wall does. Fines for unauthorised work are already written there as up to S$5,000. Homey Furnishing does not sign the permit invoice.

  • Flat-pack assembly uses the furniture assembly catalogue. Tall units are wall-anchored on that visit. A separate anti-tip price is not printed, except the child-gate and anti-tip bundle at S$180 to S$420 when that bundle is the job.
  • A built-in that has to come off the wall can become a strip-out. That is V On Construction if the flat is HDB and the work needs a permit. A loose shelf inside a carcass is not a strip-out.
  • Town councils collect some bulky loose items on their own rules. We are not the collector, and we do not publish their fee.
  • A new cable inside a wardrobe is an electrician. Assembly does not include a new circuit.
  • Do not anchor into a household shelter wall. The permit guide already keeps TV brackets and shelves off that wall.
  • A hollow partition or a false ceiling is a poor anchor for a tall wardrobe. If the fixing cannot reach structure, the visit stops.
  • Active termites are not painted over. Skirting and door-frame replacement after damage uses the termite page bands. We do not claim to be the pest-control operator.
  • Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not quoted here.

Ways to keep the bill smaller

Ways to keep the bill smaller

  • Photograph every piece before a carpenter is booked. A hinge visit is not a new kitchen.
  • Put the flat-pack in the room where it will stand. Carrying a built wardrobe down an HDB corridor is a second job.
  • If the drawer only sticks, use the published slide row. A new carcass is the cabinet page, and only when the board is swollen.
  • Book the town council bulky slot before you pay anyone to truck a loose sofa. Many councils collect a limited number of loose items. Built-ins are usually excluded.
  • Send one photo per piece. A hinge, a bed frame and a new dining table are three different jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is custom furniture in Singapore?

Quote on inspection for a carpenter sofa, dining table, platform bed, study table, TV console or bookshelf. A flat-pack bed frame is S$80 to S$150. A full kitchen replacement is S$5,000 to S$6,500 only when that comparison matches. Other sites’ price lists are not ours.

What is considered custom furniture?

A piece built or altered to a size you measured, or a showroom size that cannot pass your lift and stair. A carton from IKEA or Taobao is assembly, at the printed band, until the photo shows it is not that product.

Do you charge per foot?

No. Send the photos and the measured openings. We match a printed band or we say quote on inspection.

Does custom furniture need an HDB permit?

A loose piece does not. Hacking, a new layout and a built-in strip-out can. HDB’s renovation page is the rule, and fines for breaching it are written there as up to $5,000. The permit invoice is V On Construction.

Where is the best place to buy furniture?

This page does not rank shops. It says which HomeySG job matches the photo, and when the answer is quote on inspection.

What is the difference between custom and bespoke furniture?

In these searches they are the same request: a piece built to a size you measured. Bespoke is not a higher grade with its own price. If the photo is a carton, it is assembly at the printed band.
