We know one of the first questions when it comes to custom soft furnishings is, how much will it cost?
The short answer: it depends. The longer answer: it depends on a few key choices you’ll make along the way.
Because everything at em billie co is custom made here in Perth by our talented in-house seamstresses, your price will always reflect the unique combination of fabric, finish, and fill you select. Think of it as tailoring for your home.
Here’s what makes a difference:
Fabric Selection
Your fabric is usually the biggest factor in pricing. We work with a carefully curated range of premium suppliers including Warwick, Linia, Catherine Martin, James Dunlop, Mokum, Zepel, Elliott Clarke, and Villa Nova. These brands offer everything from luxe velvets and textured linens to hard wearing outdoor weaves and performance grade options built for everyday living. Each fabric has its own price point, so there’s something to suit every style and budget.
We also offer a BYO fabric option if you’ve already found the perfect textile elsewhere. Our team will happily check it over to make sure it’s suitable for your project before we get started.
Finishes
It’s the little details that elevate a piece. Things like
• Plain seams vs contrast piping
• Zip or button closure
• Lined or unlined finishes
These choices can make your design more detailed and will slightly shift the cost.
Inserts
We’ll ask what kind of comfort you’re after
• Foam → supportive, structured, holds shape beautifully
• Feather → soft, relaxed, that sink in feel
• Blends → the best of both worlds
Size and Scale
A scatter cushion, a full banquette seat, or a custom lounger all require very different amounts of fabric and workmanship, so size does matter here.
So, what should you expect?
To give you a ballpark
• Cushion covers typically start around $150
• Custom seating is quoted individually as fabric, foam or feather, and finish all play a role
• Poufs and loungers also vary depending on material and inserts chosen
Let’s chat about your piece
If you’ve got a project in mind, the best next step is a quick chat. We’ll talk through your ideas, suggest fabrics that suit both your look and lifestyle, and put together a clear quote so you know exactly what to expect.
Because every piece is made for you, there are no cookie cutter prices here, just thoughtful design that’s tailored to your home.
With love,
