“It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little…“
In the context of kitchen renovations, the difference between an expense and an investment can often be just a few thousand dollars. Your dream kitchen will cost you some money – how well that money is spent depends on how much enjoyment and the benefits you get from your home renovation and for how long.
Ultimately, it depends on what you are renovating – your home, a holiday house or investment properties all have different requirements and criteria. And of course the shape and size of your kitchen.
The golden rule is to know when and how much is too much. Professional developers recommend between 3% and 6% of the property value should go into the costs to renovate your kitchen. If you spend less than this you risk devaluing your resale price as potential buyers will expect to make improvements to the existing kitchen. Spend more and you may have to accept you are choosing to temporarily over-capitalise to suit your tastes. Subject to the size, a $500,000 home can get a great looking kitchen for $15,000 but will be improved with higher quality fittings and can give a return on a $30,000 budget.
Our suggested kitchen renovation budget figures are based on home value ratios, what we know high quality kitchens can cost, and what customers have decided is appropriate to spend when renovating their kitchens.
Whilst we aim for it to be accurate, all budget choices are personal and we encourage customers to invest what is best for them and their situation. Whilst we know that sometimes a little bit more budget makes a much bigger difference, we also think it’s bad karma to suggest taking on unhealthy debt. We’d rather you be happy – and we will always do our best to help you get what’s right for you.
The average cost of your new kitchen will depend on your selections when working through your kitchen design, from the material you choose to the wide range of inclusions available when bringing your dream kitchen to life. Do you want a luxury kitchen? Or a compact kitchen? Are you wanting to update your kitchen cabinetry or include a statement island bench or splashback? Do you need to make improvements but need it to sit within a low or mid-range kitchen budget?
Whatever your situation we can help make your next kitchen reno easy.
The size of your space will also make a difference, more square metres of space equals more cupboards. But that also means extra storage!
Your choice of laminate, stone or Dekton benchtops, mid or high range appliances, stainless steel or ceramic sinks and other selections have the potential to push you over budget but could also add value to your property in the longer term.
Installation costs and labour costs can often seem overwhelming. We have great relationships with trusted and experienced tradespeople across Western Australia and can help you get a great price.
We have kitchen designs to suit all price ranges and our high-quality kitchens will add value to your home for years to come.
The Kitchen Craftsmen difference is apparent from the moment you step foot in one of our five showrooms. For a start, all our team are experienced designers, who can listen to your desires, needs and budget requirements and transform them into the kitchen of your dreams – from the initial consultation right through to installation.
