Hi everyone,

I’m from a family that has been doing custom furniture work (beds, wardrobes, TV units, storage, etc.) for flats and homes across Mumbai and nearby areas for many years.

Most of our work comes through referrals and contract-based projects. Now I’m trying to understand the market better before making any big changes.

I had a few questions specifically for Mumbai residents:

When you buy furniture, do you prefer ready-made affordable options (like IKEA style), or fully custom furniture made according to your flat size?

What matters more to you: price, customization, fast delivery, or installation service?

Would you consider ordering furniture from a local Mumbai-based brand if it offered delivery + installation and some level of customization?

What are your biggest frustrations when buying furniture in Mumbai?

I’m not promoting anything just trying to understand local customer preferences before planning the next steps for our family business.

Would really appreciate honest opinions from people who’ve recently bought furniture for their homes in Mumbai.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi everyone,

I’d really appreciate some guidance and honest feedback.

My father has been running a furniture business in Mumbai and nearby cities for many years. He works on a contract basis for flats and homes, making fully custom furniture based on client requirements like beds, wardrobes, TV units, storage, and other home furniture.

Most of our work comes from offline referrals, site contracts, and local connections.

Now I’m thinking about expanding and modernizing the business.

Here’s what I’m planning:

Build an online presence to get more clients across Mumbai and nearby areas.

Create a proper website showcasing our previous work.

Offer fully custom furniture orders online (with site measurement and installation).

Additionally, list ready-made furniture models on the website that customers can customize (size, finish, storage type, etc.).

The goal is to:

Move beyond only contract-based work.

Generate direct leads from customers.

Build a recognizable local brand.

Eventually scale beyond just word-of-mouth referrals.

If anyone has experience in furniture, carpentry, interiors, local manufacturing, or e-commerce. I would really value your advice.

Thanks in advance 🙏
