Furniture Rearrangement in Your Apartment in Warsaw — Fast, Careful, Damage-Free

Want to refresh your room layout but the heavy wardrobe is in the wrong spot and the sofa needs to go to the other wall? Furniture rearrangement looks simple — right until you try to slide an 80 kg dresser across laminate flooring. One clumsy move and you have a deep scratch on the floor and a dent in the wall. We handle furniture rearrangement across all of Warsaw: we move heavy items with full floor and wall protection, and partially disassemble and reassemble pieces when needed. If you want your furniture relocated without risking your finishes, give us a call — we will sort it out in one visit.

How much does furniture rearrangement cost and what affects the price

The cost depends on the number and size of items, whether partial disassembly is needed, and the type of flooring. Moving a bed within one room is one thing; relocating a three-section sliding wardrobe from the bedroom to the living room is something else entirely. Price factors include: whether doors or shelves need to be removed before moving, the floor type (laminate, hardwood, tile — each requires its own protection), and the number of floors and doorways along the route. Fixings for reassembly are included. Protective materials (film, felt pads) are ours. See current prices in the table below.

How the on-site furniture rearrangement works

1. You describe the task: what needs moving, from where and to where, and send photos. The technician estimates the scope and gives you an approximate timeframe.
2. We agree on a date. We usually arrive the same day or the next, depending on availability.
3. The technician comes with a rearrangement kit: felt pads, furniture sliders, carrying straps, protective floor film, and cardboard corner guards.
4. We assess the situation on site: check whether partial disassembly is needed (doors, shelves, drawers), inspect the floor and doorways.
5. We protect the floor and walls along the route. Laminate is covered with film, wall corners with cardboard. Sliders or felt go under furniture legs.
6. We move the furniture to its new position. Heavy items (wardrobes, dressers) are slid on gliders or carried by two people using straps.
7. We set everything in place, adjust the feet, reattach doors and shelves. We check that everything is level, doors close, and drawers slide smoothly.

Common mistakes when rearranging furniture yourself

• Dragging a wardrobe across laminate without pads — the legs or bottom edge gouge and scratch the surface. Repairing laminate costs far more than calling a professional.
• Not removing doors and shelves before moving — the unit is heavier, the centre of gravity shifts, doors slam and can rip out hinges.
• Dragging a fridge or washing machine across the floor — you damage both the floor and the appliance. These items should only be carried or placed on a trolley.
• Forgetting about doorway dimensions — a 120 cm wide wardrobe will not fit through an 80 cm door without partial disassembly. People usually discover this after the wardrobe is already off its spot.
• Moving furniture alone — a heavy dresser can tip over, land on your foot, or hit the wall. Two people minimum for anything over 40 kg.
• Not protecting hallway walls — when carrying large furniture you clip the corners, leaving dents and chipped plaster.
• Placing furniture on an uneven floor without adjusting the feet — doors go crooked, drawers will not close, the unit wobbles.
• Rushing — haste leads to impacts, scratches, and injuries. Even a single wardrobe deserves a calm, methodical approach.

What to prepare before the technician arrives

• Decide on the final furniture layout — sketch a plan or simply mark the spots. Changing your mind on site wastes time.
• Empty the furniture: clothes from the wardrobe, books from shelves, dishes from display cabinets. Every extra kilogram makes the job harder and increases the risk of damage.
• Remove fragile items from the moving route — vases, mirrors, floor lamps.
• Measure doorway widths if furniture needs to go room to room. Tell the technician in advance if any openings are narrow.
• Check that sockets, cables, and heating pipes will not end up behind the furniture at its new location — or warn the technician.
• Clear the path: pick up rugs, shoes, and small objects from the floor.
• Keep pets in another room — there is a risk of accidentally bumping them when carrying heavy items.
• For large pieces (sliding wardrobe, wall unit, corner sofa), let us know in advance so the technician can bring a helper.
• Provide the intercom code and nearby parking information.
• Mention if appliances (TV, washing machine) also need moving — this affects the tool set.

A real case from Warsaw

A client in Mokotow decided to reorganise her two-room apartment after renovations. The task: move the double bed from the bedroom to the living room, and the sliding wardrobe with mirror doors the other way round. The 180 cm wide wardrobe would not fit through the 80 cm doorway. We removed the mirror doors, took out the shelves and hanging rail, and dismantled the overhead compartment. The carcase cleared the opening with 2 cm to spare on each side. The entire corridor route was covered with protective film — the floor was freshly laid oak parquet. The bed was broken down into frame, headboard, and slats and carried across in two trips. At the new location we reassembled everything, adjusted the wardrobe feet to compensate for a slight floor slope, and checked the doors. The job took three hours with two technicians. Not a single scratch on the parquet — the client checked with a torch.

Frequently asked questions

What furniture do you rearrange?
Anything: wardrobes, dressers, beds, sofas, bookcases, desks, display cabinets. If an item is too heavy for one technician, we work in pairs.

What is included in the price?
The technician’s labour, protective materials (film, felt pads, cardboard), and partial disassembly plus reassembly if required. Carrying materials upstairs and waste removal are charged separately.

Do I need to empty the furniture myself?
Yes, absolutely. A full wardrobe weighs two to three times more than an empty one, and moving it loaded is a direct path to damaging both the floor and the furniture itself.

Do you move furniture between rooms or only within one room?
Both. If a piece does not fit through the doorway, we partially disassemble it, carry it across, and reassemble it at the new spot.

What if I have expensive hardwood floors?
That is exactly why you need a professional. We use felt sliders, protective film, and cardboard pads — zero scratches. We recently rearranged furniture on freshly laid oak parquet in Ursynow — the floor stayed flawless.

How long does rearrangement take?
One or two items within a room — about an hour. A full apartment rearrangement with disassembly — three to five hours, depending on scope and complexity.

Can you also hang a shelf or picture at the new spot?
Yes, the technician brings drilling and mounting tools. Additional work is quoted separately.

Do you work on weekends?
Yes, Saturdays and Sundays are regular working days. Book in advance — weekends fill up fast.
