"How much does whole-home customisation cost?" is the most common question from Hong Kong homeowners. The answer comes down to three numbers: unit size, material grade and design complexity. The ranges below are common market references for preliminary budgeting only — the actual quote follows the on-site measuring.
Hong Kong whole-home customisation market reference prices
| Item | Market reference (HK$) | Main cost drivers |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen cabinets (base + wall) | 30,000 – 80,000 | Worktop material (sintered stone/quartz), appliance units, island |
| Full-height wardrobe (per unit) | 15,000 – 40,000 | Sliding/swing doors, glass doors, internal fittings |
| Tatami bed (per bedroom) | 20,000 – 50,000 | Area, lift-top table, number of under-bed drawers |
| TV storage wall / living cabinets | 12,000 – 35,000 | Open-niche ratio, LED strips, wall panelling |
| Whole home (two-bedroom unit) | 150,000 – 350,000 | Number of spaces, board grade, hardware brands |

The 6 factors behind every quote
- Boards: particle board, multi-layer plywood and solid wood can differ 2–3×; eco grades (E0/ENF) also affect price.
- Hardware: imported soft-close hinges, sliding tracks and gas struts cost more than standard hardware — and last far longer.
- LED strips and glass: hidden lighting, glass doors and aluminium-frame doors are value-added items priced individually.
- Size and odd shapes: sloped ceilings, beams and columns raise construction difficulty and price.
- Worktop material: sintered stone costs more than quartz or engineered stone, but resists heat and scratches — ideal for open kitchens.
- Installation and transport: remote areas, stair access and demolition of old cabinets are quoted separately.
How to avoid pricing traps
- Always get on-site measuring: quotes from floor plans alone will have errors; reputable companies measure for free.
- Demand a detailed quotation: itemise board brands, thickness, hardware models, fittings and installation fees. Reject vague "per-foot all-inclusive" quotes.
- Confirm warranty terms: structural and hardware warranty periods must be in writing.
- Check the factory background: brands with their own factory offer more reliable quality and delivery — for example, FameHouse is backed by its own smart factory in Zhejiang, keeping design, scheduling, production and installation fully controlled.

FAQ
Is customisation always pricier than ready-made furniture?
Not necessarily. Ready-made pieces look cheaper per item but often do not fit and waste space. Customisation is built to your space and stores more efficiently — the storage cost per square foot is usually lower.
What should a quotation include?
Board brands and thickness, hardware models, LED/glass fittings, installation and transport fees and warranty terms. FameHouse provides free measuring and itemised quotes.
How long from measuring to installation?
About 1–2 weeks for design, 3–5 weeks for production and 1–2 weeks for installation, depending on the project. Our own factory gives flexible scheduling.
Is there a warranty?
Reputable manufacturers offer structural warranties with clear periods for hardware and hinges. Confirm the scope and period before signing.
