A luxury kitchen renovation could be one of the costliest investments you make into your home, so it’s important to spend your money in the right places because it can be easy to make the wrong choices in terms of what you need and want.

In this article we will look at the areas of luxury kitchen renovations that are worth spending money on, and areas that you can save, so you can make an informed decision with your budget.

What Does A Bespoke Large Kitchen Renovation Cost?

A large kitchen from a high street retailer such as Wrens, Howdens, or Magnet might cost you around £20,000. A bespoke luxury kitchen renovation will be more than this, starting at around £30,000, and some costing £100,000 or more. The reasons for this are the materials used, and the craftsmanship involved.

High Street kitchen installers keep their costs low by using composite materials such as MDF and chipboard. Luxury bespoke kitchens, on the other hand, make wider use of natural and premium materials – granite, hardwood, carefully chosen tiles, handles, and fittings – which cost considerably more. The quality of workmanship involved in a luxury renovation is also, generally, a lot higher than you’d get from a high street installer.

What you get for your money, of course, is far greater personalisation and quality. Every detail of your kitchen will be made and measured to perfection, and aligned with your lifestyle, tastes, and preferences, which is why the details matter.

So, which areas are worth spending that bit extra to achieve a luxury finish and fit?

• First, tangible items such as your kitchen worktops, cabinetry, and handles can exude quality and can change the style and dynamic of any kitchen. High-quality purchases here can be truly felt and appreciated through touch as well as sight.
• Second, it’s worth spending money to ensure that your plumbing, electrical, and installation work is carried out to the highest standard. While you could save money upfront on installation, this can result in a lower-quality finish and even costly repairs down the line.
• Thirdly, a luxury kitchen worktop – such as one made of granite or quartzite – is a great focal point for your budget. In most kitchens, the worktop is where most of the ‘work’ will be happening, so it’s important to have something that you know will last long term, as well as something that provides a real wow factor and sense of enjoyment on a day-to-day basis.

Where Can You Save Money On A Luxury Kitchen Renovation?

The best area to save money on your renovation is your kitchen appliances. Some of these can range in cost from thousands to tens of thousands of pounds, quickly eating up your budget. However, even premium appliances will need replacing after a few years, so are a smart area for savings because even the best of them won’t outlast your bespoke-built cabinetry. Plus, your appliances can always be upgraded in the future when you have financially recovered from the investment made in renovating your kitchen.
