Kitchen Cabinet Prices in 2026: 9 Factors That Determine the Cost of a Custom Kitchen
Two kitchens of the same size can differ greatly in price. Here are the 9 factors that determine the cost of a custom kitchen, and how to spend your budget wisely.

"How much do kitchen cabinets cost?" is the first question everyone asks before renovating. There is no single answer: two kitchens of the same size can differ significantly depending on materials and hardware. Here, ARVEX Mobilya explains what really drives the price of a custom kitchen.
1. Size and layout
The total length of base, wall and tall units is the starting point. L-shaped and U-shaped kitchens need corner units and extra work; adding an island increases both cabinet and worktop costs.
2. Door material
Doors are the most visible part and create the biggest price differences. From budget to premium: melamine/laminate, vinyl-wrapped (membrane), acrylic/high gloss, lacquer, and solid wood or wood veneer. See our lacquer vs. membrane vs. laminate guide.
3. Carcass quality
Board thickness, moisture resistance (especially under the sink) and edge banding determine how long a kitchen lasts. This is where cheap quotes usually cut corners.
4. Worktop
Laminate is economical; quartz, granite, porcelain and natural marble raise the budget noticeably. Thickness, cut-outs and island tops are priced separately.
5. Hinges, runners and mechanisms
Soft-close hinges and full-extension drawer runners are used every day for years – we recommend not compromising here.
6. Interior accessories
Pull-out larders, corner solutions, cutlery inserts and waste systems add comfort and cost. Only choose what you will actually use.
7. Handles and details
Handleless profiles, special handles, LED lighting and glass display units enrich the look and add up.
8. Integrated appliances
Integrated fridges and ovens require tall housings and oven columns. Deciding on appliance models early makes dimensions and costs clear.
9. Removal, installation and survey
Removing the old kitchen, wall and plumbing adjustments, delivery and installation are part of the total. ARVEX Mobilya surveys and measures on site in Silivri and the surrounding area, and lists these items clearly in every quote.
