Custom Furniture Cost per Linear Metre 2026: Price Guide

Custom furniture is built to fit the room, not the other way round. A wardrobe can run to the ceiling, a cabinet can fill an awkward wall recess, and a desk can sit neatly beside a window. Because sizes differ in every house, the price is usually charged per linear metre.

This guide explains what a price per linear metre means, MEETS 2026 custom furniture rates by material tier, and the factors that most affect the total cost. See also the custom furniture page for service details.

What is a price per linear metre?

A linear metre (m1) is the length of the furniture measured along its side, usually following the wall it is fitted to. A wardrobe two metres wide counts as two linear metres.

Length is not the only measurement that matters. Height, depth, and the interior fit-out (drawers, shelves, hanging rails) are confirmed at the survey and can shift the final figure. That is why the price per linear metre is used as a starting reference, not a final price.

Custom furniture price per linear metre (2026)

Installed prices (materials and labour) for Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek), excluding VAT (PPN), final after the survey.

Example calculation for 2 linear metres:

• Standard: 2 × Rp3,500,000 = Rp7,000,000
• Premium: 2 × Rp5,700,000 = Rp11,400,000
• Signature: 2 × Rp10,000,000 = Rp20,000,000

Price by type of built-in furniture

The type of furniture also sets the price, because the interior and complexity differ. Rates per linear metre for the Standard, Premium, and Signature tiers:

• Custom cabinet: Rp3,500,000 / Rp5,700,000 / Rp10,000,000.
• Built-in wardrobe: Rp4,200,000 / Rp6,200,000 / Rp11,000,000.
• Walk-in closet: Rp4,500,000 / Rp7,500,000 / Rp15,000,000.
• Built-in desk: Rp2,400,000 / Rp4,000,000 / Rp7,500,000.
• Floating shelf system: Rp1,700,000 / Rp3,000,000 / Rp5,500,000.

Example: a 2 linear metre built-in wardrobe in the Standard tier = 2 × Rp4,200,000 = Rp8,400,000.

Factors that affect custom furniture cost

• Panel material and finish. HPL-faced plywood in the Standard tier, premium HPL in the Premium tier, and duco or veneer in the Signature tier. The finish is the biggest price differentiator.
• Hardware. Standard hinges, soft-close hinges and runners (for example Blum or Hafele), or premium hardware. Hardware also decides how doors and drawers feel in daily use.
• Interior fit-out. Drawers, shelves, hanging rails, and extra accessories add material and working time.
• Doors and accents. Plain panel doors are the simplest. For custom cabinets and wardrobes, the Signature tier also includes glass or leather options.
• LED lighting. Lighting in shelves or inside wardrobes is included in the Premium tier. The power points need to be prepared before the furniture is installed.
• Room condition. Uneven walls, sloping floors, or out-of-square ceilings need adjustment during installation.

Tips to keep the budget under control

1. Set room priorities. The master bedroom and rooms guests see can use a higher tier, while other rooms can use the Standard tier.
2. Lock in sizes after the survey. Sizes taken from plans often differ from conditions on site.
3. Separate what is seen from what is not. The inside of a wardrobe does not have to use the same finish as the front doors.
4. Prepare power points early. For LED lighting or sockets at a desk, power points are best installed before the furniture goes in. See electrical installation.
5. Match the scope when comparing quotes. Compare the same materials, hardware, and interior fit-out, not just the figure per metre.
