The Real Cost of Furnishing a Home in Arizona
Furnishing a home from scratch, or even just a few rooms, can feel like one long guessing game. How much should you budget? What does “custom” really mean? And how do you know when something is actually worth the splurge?
At Maya Axt Interiors, we work with many families relocating to Paradise Valley or renovating long-loved homes in Scottsdale. Whether it’s a clean slate or a fresh start, here’s what you should know about the real investment behind furnishing a high-end home in Arizona.
Start With the Scope
The average cost to fully furnish a single room in the Phoenix Metro area (with quality, durable pieces that align with our timeless aesthetic) typically ranges from $40,000–$50,000 per space. That includes everything: upholstery, case goods, lighting, wallpaper, rugs, accessories, delivery, install, styling and design expertise to make it cohesive.
If you’re furnishing a full home, clients often invest $250,000–$400,000+, depending on square footage, number of rooms, and level of customization.
What Drives Cost?
Scale & Size: As an example, Paradise Valley homes often feature large-scale rooms that require bigger pieces and more of them.
Custom vs. Retail: Custom furniture offers better proportions, materials, and longevity, but often comes with a higher price tag.
Materials & Finishes: Premium fabrics, high-performance upholstery, solid woods, and artisan-made pieces are part of the quiet luxury our clients love.
Installation & Styling: We don’t just deliver a sofa and call it done. Our full-service furnishing includes install, art placement, and styled accessories so your home is truly move-in ready.
Design Tip
Don’t let sticker shock lead to piecemeal purchasing. That’s how you end up with rooms that feel disconnected. A well-designed, fully furnished space brings balance, cohesion, and that “we finally live here” feeling.
