How Much Should You Spend for a New Kitchen?

Like many, you may be toying with the idea of renovating your kitchen, but the first question that comes to mind is “How much should I expect to pay?” 

 

 

A question with multiple answers

Our kitchen designers are regularly asked this question to which there’s no simple response. The truth is that the price of a new kitchen can vary enormously depending on the materials chosen, for example, whether the countertops are quartz or laminate, whether the cabinets are wood or melamine, etc. So you can’t expect to receive an exact answer without first having taken the time to sit down with a kitchen designer and discuss the elements you’d like to have in your new kitchen.

How much do you want to invest ?

When making a major purchase, we normally look for the best value for our money. That’s why we’re often hesitant to reveal our kitchen renovation budget for fear that the consultant will make sure we spend every penny. However, the amount you specify to your kitchen designer will help determine what materials, appliances and other elements you’d like to include in your new kitchen. For example, if your budget won’t allow you the luxury of wood cabinets and granite countertops, your consultant can propose some good alternatives you may not even have considered.

 

The worst mistake you could make would be not to impose budget restrictions and have your kitchen designer end up proposing a plan that’s well beyond your means.

 
  

An average price?

Now that you understand how numerous factors can affect the amount you’ll invest in a kitchen renovation, if we absolutely had to give you an average price (including new cabinets, an island, counters and lighting), we’d say around $20,000 (not including appliances). However, bear in mind that, for this amount, you’d have to make certain sacrifices with regard to the materials. But not to worry! There are still some beautiful options available to you!
