Is whole-house customization really necessary?

Whether it is necessary depends on your storage needs and budget. Ready-made cabinets are cheaper but have fixed dimensions and waste space; whole-house customization can be built to fit the wall, and during measurement the wall flatness, kickboard and internal/external corners are confirmed, so the finishing fits more snugly. For pricing, wardrobes are calculated by projected area and kitchen cabinets by linear metre; converting to unfolded area varies with the cabinet body layout and must be calculated according to the drawings. Budget reference: wardrobe basic configuration E0 particle board + PET door panel in Beijing 500–550 yuan/㎡, mainstream configuration ENF particle board + PET door panel in Beijing 700–800 yuan/㎡, upgraded configuration ENF eco board + PET door panel in Beijing 950–1,100 yuan/㎡; kitchen cabinet basic configuration in Beijing 900–1,000 yuan/linear metre, mainstream configuration in Beijing 1,020–1,250 yuan/linear metre, upgraded configuration in Beijing 1,300–1,650 yuan/linear metre. The above are reference prices and do not constitute a formal quotation; the actual price must be further calculated based on dimensions, design, materials, hardware, quantity and site conditions. If you pursue a seamless fit and long-term use, custom furniture is more worthwhile; for rental or transitional housing, ready-made furniture is sufficient.
