Custom furniture cost in Cyprus depends on the agreed piece and the work needed to deliver it. Dimensions matter, but materials, construction, hardware, finish and installation can change the scope just as much.
Rather than starting with a universal price per metre, prepare a brief that allows like-for-like proposals. This guide explains what to clarify before comparing quotations from a furniture maker.
Define what the finished piece needs to do
Describe the room, intended use and the problem you want to solve. Include approximate dimensions and identify the features that are essential.
For storage, explain what will be stored and which compartments need to open or adjust. For a table, include seating needs and any existing chairs. A useful brief gives the maker enough information to distinguish a simple shape from a more involved construction.
Share a budget range early if you have one. It gives the design discussion a practical boundary without requiring you to know every material and fitting in advance.
Materials and finishes are separate decisions
Ask what the structure, visible surfaces and internal parts will be made from. Two pieces can look similar in a photograph while using different materials beneath the finish.
The number of visible faces, edge details, curves and finish requirements also matters. A colour name does not fully describe the preparation and finish process.
Our materials guide explains the questions to ask about solid timber, veneer and panels. Record the agreed choices so a later comparison does not silently change the specification.
Count the details that add making work
Drawers, doors, fitted compartments, shaped edges and decorative elements each introduce design and making decisions. Ask how the proposed hardware relates to the intended use.
Consider whether every extra feature is necessary. A simpler layout may better serve the room, but simplification should preserve useful access, support and everyday function.
For wood and metal furniture, discuss the construction and finishing of both materials and their connections. The full piece needs to be considered, not just the largest surface.
Include delivery and installation in the scope
Ask whether the quotation includes transport, assembly, fitting and final positioning. Explain the property location, stairs, lift restrictions and access from the unloading area.
Fitted furniture can involve site measurements and coordination with other work. If floors, walls or services are still changing, tell the maker before a production date is agreed.
Confirm what needs to be ready at the property and who is responsible for related work. Clear boundaries reduce uncertainty for both the client and the maker.
Compare written quotations line by line
Check the dimensions, materials, finish, hardware and included services before comparing the total. Confirm whether VAT is included and which payment stages apply, rather than making assumptions.
Ask how design changes will be priced and approved after the quotation. Agree who can sign off the final specification if several people are involved in the project.
A useful comparison also considers relevant completed work, communication and how clearly the proposal answers the brief. Price is easier to assess when you understand what will actually be delivered.
Make the first enquiry specific
Send room photographs, an approximate size, intended use, a few references and your budget direction. List any must-have features and timing constraints.
Artifex by Pegasios can discuss the brief through consultation and planning and provide a quotation for the agreed scope. This article does not set prices or promise a fixed lead time; those depend on the individual project.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there no single custom furniture price?
Bespoke pieces differ in dimensions, materials, construction, finish and installation. A useful price needs a defined specification and scope.
Can I work to a budget?
Share the budget range at the start so priorities and possible approaches can be discussed. The agreed design still needs to meet the practical requirements.
What should a furniture quotation include?
Check dimensions, materials, finishes, hardware, included services, VAT treatment, payment stages and how changes will be agreed.
