Where the money goes
In every apartment, three pieces take most of the budget: the sofa, the dining table and the bed. In a 1 bedroom made to order, those three come to about AED 10,400 to AED 12,400 of the total. They are also the pieces you use every day and keep the longest, so they are the ones to get right first.
If you are furnishing in stages, start with those three and add coffee tables, bedside tables and extra chairs later. Every Desqo piece is made to order, so a matching coffee table or extra chair can be made later in the same fabric or finish.
What made to order adds for the price
- Your size. Sofas, tables and beds are built to fit your room, wall or mattress.
- Your fabric and finish. Any colour, fabric, wood finish or top.
- Delivered and assembled. Free across the UAE. Chairs and stools arrive fully assembled.
- 2-year warranty on every piece.
Everything is made in our Sharjah workshop and takes 10 to 12 working days, about 14 to 18 calendar days, from order to your home.
Other costs to plan for
- Mattress. On the same flat-pack retailer, mattresses cost AED 100 to 4,790, with most between AED 350 and AED 2,240.
- Wardrobes. Check whether your apartment has built-in wardrobes before you budget for them.
- Curtains, rugs and lighting. These vary widely by size and taste.
