Furniture Installation Cost Singapore: Murphy Beds, Wardrobes & Space-Saving Furniture
What Does Furniture Installation Cost in Singapore?
Installing space-saving furniture in Singapore involves more than assembly — murphy beds need secure wall mounting, custom wardrobes need levelling and anchoring, and built-in pieces need finishing. Prices vary widely by furniture type, wall material, and installer.
This guide gives realistic 2026 cost ranges and shows what to watch for before you pay.
Typical Installation Costs in Singapore (2026)
| Furniture type | Typical installation cost | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Sofa / dining table assembly | S$50 – S$120 | Assembly only |
| Storage bed / bunk bed assembly | S$100 – S$200 | Frame + drawers assembly |
| TV console wall mounting | S$80 – S$150 | Fixing to wall, cable tidy |
| Custom wardrobe assembly | S$200 – S$500 | Unit + sliding doors + level |
| Murphy bed installation | S$200 – S$400 | Mechanism, cabinet, wall fixing |
| Built-in / full-wall joinery | S$500 – S$1,500 | Custom carpentry per project |
Ranges are typical for HDB and condo installations in Singapore. Final quotes depend on wall type, floor, and project size.
What Affects the Installation Price?
1. Wall type
- Hollow brick / concrete walls: easier fixing, lower cost
- Drywall (gypsum board): needs anchor bolts and backing plates, higher cost
- HDB false ceilings: extra care needed, adds time
2. Building access and floor
- HDB lifts and corridors vs condo loading bays
- High floors with restricted lift size may need extra handling
3. Product complexity
- Murphy beds: mechanism + cabinet + wall fixing = 2–4 hours
- Sliding-door wardrobes: doors must be tuned precisely
- Built-in units: on-site cutting, trimming, and sealing
4. Additional services
- Disposal of old furniture and packaging (many movers charge per item)
- Haulage to an upper floor without a lift
- Re-installation after moving house
Hidden Fees to Watch For
- Old furniture disposal: some sellers charge S$50–S$150 per item
- Packaging disposal: check whether it's included
- Fixing kits for drywall: extra anchors are often charged separately
- Second visit: if measurements are wrong, re-visits cost extra
- Warranty conditions: some warranties are void if you self-install
How to Get a Fair Price
- Ask for an all-in quote — delivery, installation, and disposal in one number
- Confirm wall type before quoting — send photos if unsure
- Choose factory-direct suppliers — installation is often included or discounted
- Check the warranty — installation by the seller usually keeps the warranty valid

FAQ
How much does murphy bed installation cost in Singapore?
Typically S$200 – S$400 depending on wall type and mechanism. A factory-direct supplier often bundles installation with the bed at a better price.
Is furniture installation cheaper if I buy factory-direct?
Usually yes — direct suppliers bundle assembly and installation, and you avoid the showroom middleman markup.
Do I need to pay extra for old furniture disposal?
Many suppliers charge S$50 – S$150 per item for disposal. Always ask whether disposal and packaging removal are included in the quote.
Can a murphy bed be installed on a drywall?
Yes, but drywall needs anchor bolts and backing plates, which increases the cost. Confirm the wall type before quoting.
Does self-installation void my furniture warranty?
With many suppliers, yes. Installation by the seller's team usually keeps the full warranty valid — check before you install it yourself.
