The Price of a New Kitchen
Planning is an important part of the renovation process so you can assess your budget. Here’s a quick look at some of the pricing.
Benchtops
Benchtops come in a wide variety of colours and designs, making the price vary as well. In most cases, you can expect to pay anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000 for an affordable benchtop. Laminate benchtops are cheaper than stone.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets, depending on the style and design you choose, can cost anywhere from $6,000 upwards. This is one of the largest aspects of the total kitchen and plays a practical and aesthetic role at the same time.
Other Costs
In addition to these costs, you should also budget for a kitchen sink with a new tap. Other costs can include replacing the splashback and flooring and even adding a few new appliances.
These costs can also vary depending on your taste but generally range from $10,000 to $15,000.
Total Cost of a New Kitchen
As mentioned above, the total cost of a new kitchen can vary depending on your exact taste. According to HIA, the price of a new kitchen in 2021 in Victoria was $29,293. However, in 2022 with inflation at 8%, this increased to $31,365.
With inflation rising again in 2023, we expect the average price to increase by a further 5% to $33,217. This means that you can expect to pay anything from $30,000 to $40,000 depending on your exact design and style.
