What’s your typical sofa/bed/wardrobe cost range?

That’s a smart question 👍 — because sofa, bed, and wardrobe are the three biggest furniture spends in most Delhi NCR homes, and the range varies a lot depending on custom vs ready-made, material, and finish.

Here’s a breakdown for you:


✅ Typical Cost Ranges in Delhi NCR (2025)

🛋️ Sofas (3-Seater)

  • Budget (Ready-made / Market / Online): ₹20,000 – ₹45,000
  • Premium (Custom with good fabric, branded foam): ₹45,000 – ₹90,000
  • Luxury (Leather/Designer/Imported): ₹1.2L – ₹3L+
    👉 Where to buy: Kirti Nagar market, Pepperfry, IKEA, bespoke upholsterers.

🛏️ Beds (Queen/King, with Storage)

  • Budget (Ready-made, Engineered wood/Particle board): ₹25,000 – ₹50,000
  • Premium (Custom in Plywood/HDHMR + Laminate/Veneer): ₹50,000 – ₹1.2L
  • Luxury (Solid wood, Upholstered headboards, PU finishes): ₹1.2L – ₹3L+
    👉 Tip: Go custom if you need hydraulic storage or integrated headboards.

🚪 Wardrobes (Sliding/Swing, 6ft x 7ft)

  • Budget (Laminate finish, Commercial/BWR ply): ₹65,000 – ₹90,000
  • Premium (Acrylic/PU finish, BWP/HDHMR, branded hardware): ₹95,000 – ₹1.5L
  • Luxury (Veneer/Glass shutters, Blum/Häfele fittings): ₹1.6L – ₹2.5L+
    👉 Tip: Use sliding shutters in compact rooms, swing shutters if space allows (cheaper).

✅ Factors That Push Cost Up/Down

  • Material: Particle board vs Plywood vs HDHMR vs Solid Wood.
  • Finish: Laminate (budget) → Acrylic/PU (premium) → Veneer/Glass (luxury).
  • Hardware: Local hinges → Hettich → Blum soft-close.
  • Customization: Standard sizes cheaper; odd niches/curved designs costlier.

💡 What You Should Ask Your Designer

  1. Are your quoted sofa/bed/wardrobe costs for custom or ready-made?
  2. Which plywood/HDHMR brand & hardware do you include?
  3. Do you give me budget, premium, luxury options with cost difference?
  4. Can I source ready-made furniture myself while you design custom units?
  5. Do you provide brand bills & warranties for fittings and materials?

⚠️ Red Flags

  • Designer gives one lump sum furniture cost 🚩 without breakup.
  • No mention of material/brand used in wardrobes.
  • Over-promises luxury look at budget price.

✅ Pro Tip

  • For apartments (2BHK/3BHK): Go premium for wardrobes + beds, and ready-made for sofa/dining to balance cost.
  • For luxury villas/builder floors: Invest in custom wardrobes & beds with veneer/PU finish, pair with statement sofas.
