Kitchen Renovations
Most of us can conjure up happy memories of family and friends gathered in the kitchen. The old adage of it being the heart of the home still rings true.
Chatting over coffee at the kitchen bench, small kids standing on a step to help stir the cake batter, big kids running through in search of a snack, Dad carving a Sunday roast—our memories will be uniquely our own and we’re fortunate to live in a time where we have the opportunity to make our kitchens just as unique by designing and building for the way our families function.
As the heart of the home, kitchens receive a huge amount of wear and tear. Nowadays thoughtful selection of finishes and materials works wonders to increase the longevity of a kitchen but for those of us living in a kitchen that’s seen a decade or two it may well be time for a renovation. Functionality, practicality and modern design aside, kitchens often set the personality and style of a home and these can change dramatically over time.
Budget, Mid-range or High End?
Small kitchens (or kitchens where budget-priced materials and finishes are chosen) usually fall within the range of $10,000 to $15,000. At Imperial Kitchens, you can expect to receive custom-made cabinetry and an engineered-stone benchtop (eg. Caesarstone, Stylestone) from our “standard” range at this price point.
Mid-range kitchens that fall within the price range of $15,000 to $30,000 offer you considerably more scope when choosing finishes and materials. For example, you will have a larger selection of benchtops from which to choose and the finish on your cabinetry may be selected from the vinyl wrap and 2-Pac range.
High-end kitchens generally start from around the $30,000 mark and can extend to well over $50,000, depending on what you include and the size or configuration of the kitchen space in your home. At this price, your choices are only limited by how much you are willing to spend.
