Understanding the cost of your kitchen renovation is half the battle. A kitchen designer can explain the latest surfaces, appliances and design ideas for your project and what that means for your budget. In this article you'll discover what you can achieve within your price range plus how far your dollar can go. You know you want a home kitchen renovation that equals high-gloss cabinetry, reconstituted-stone benchtops and stainless-steel appliances, but not sure if they'll bust your budget? Regardless of what your ideal home kitchen entails, consulting a Melbourne kitchen designer can bring their creative ideas and designs into play to make your renovation dream a reality. Here's a run-down of what you could achieve with your kitchen renovation project budget. These four categories offer a good idea of what cost ranges you might encounter, and put you on the path to knowing what you can get for your money without any big-dollar surprises. 1. New tops & doors Expected budget: $4K- $10K (varying due to the size of your kitchen) For those wanting to keep their spend to a minimum, you can make minor changes to your home kitchen for a new look. While you don't always need a kitchen designer for this level of renovation, your home makeover could include replacing the kitchen benchtop and replacing cabinetry doors or repainting them. At this renovation budget, you wouldn't be changing the kitchen layout, just making cosmetic improvements for a new look in your home. 2. The Budget Renovation Expected budget: $12K-$22K (varying due to kitchen size and the appliances and fittings you choose). This kitchen renovation project is an entire makeover and the chance to change colours and the kitchen style while using less-expensive materials. Expect this home renovation to entail: new cabinetry with melamine doors, standard metal-sided drawers and laminated benchtops. 3. The Luxury kitchen Expected cost: $22K-$35K (depending on kitchen size and your chosen appliances) Taking your kitchen renovation to the next level, this kitchen will feature a combination of design features and higher-quality materials including: composite stone benchtops (made from a material such as Caesarstone), cabinetry with vinyl-wrap flat-panelled doors plus the option of soft-closing drawers. You may also opt for stylish extras such as an under-bench oven and a sapphire glass splashback to make the kitchen the standout feature of your home. 4. The Premium Class Expected budget: $35K plus At this level, your kitchen designer will plan and design your entire home kitchen renovation with the best-quality finishings and fixtures to create a stylish and statement feature space for your home. Most-often created for homes exceeding the $1M value, this renovation includes stone or granite benchtops, cabinetry with two-pack or routed vinyl wrap doors, glass splashbacks, cabinetry designed to house high-end appliances and more.
