It is the first question people ask me, and the one the internet answers worst. Here are my real price ranges, what makes them move, and the three ways to build a kitchen depending on your budget.
I will be direct: there is not one price for a bespoke kitchen, there is a price per project. The ranges below apply to a kitchen entirely designed, built in my workshop and fitted. And if that budget does not fit yours, there are other ways of working that I use just as much: mixing in standard carcasses, or a flat-pack kitchen that I rework and adjust. I talk about that further down, because that is often where the feasibility of a project is decided.
| Small single-wall kitchen, made entirely in the workshop | €6,000-€8,000 |
| Family L-shaped kitchen, made entirely in the workshop | €8,000-€12,000 |
| Large kitchen, island, plenty of storage | €12,000-€15,000 |
| Exceptional kitchen: finely worked premium materials, complex systems | Above €15,000 |
| Project using standard carcasses adjusted, or a flat-pack kitchen reworked | Well below |
2026 prices, fitting included, excluding appliances. These are ballpark figures, not a fixed price list: every room is different, and only a quote (a devis in French) after a home visit gives a reliable figure. It is free, and my work starts by adapting the proposal to what you are able to spend.
Size and layout. The first factor, and the most obvious. An 8 m² kitchen in a straight run does not need the same number of carcasses as a 20 m² room with a central island. Every linear metre of furniture adds material and workshop hours.
Materials. The second item, and the widest spread. Quality melamine-faced carcasses with laminate fronts hold up very well and stay reasonable; with solid wood panels, you move up a class right down to the structure. Solid oak fronts or walnut , a solid wood or stone worktop, and the bill changes category. No option is bad: it is a question of budget and taste, and I show you samples before pricing anything.
Appliances. They can represent from €2,000 to more than €8,000 on their own. That is why I always price them separately: you can supply them yourself, keep your current appliances, or let me order them. Be wary of all-in quotes where the appliances are drowned in the total: you no longer know what you are paying for.
Fronts and finishes. Flat fronts are quick to make. Framed fronts, integrated handles, oiled or lacquered finishes take more hours. That is often where the difference lies between a decent kitchen and a truly accomplished one, and it is a dial we can set together to suit the budget.
Fully bespoke. Every carcass, every door front, every hinge is chosen, designed and made in the workshop, to the exact dimensions of your room: walls that are not straight, an awkwardly placed window, a sloping ceiling. No standard unit does that. You know exactly what is inside your furniture, and a workshop kitchen can be repaired, altered and added to years later, by the person who made it. These are the ranges in the table above.
The mix, or semi-bespoke. Known as semi-mesure in French, this is where we start from standard carcasses, and I build to measure only what needs to be: the finishes against the walls, an awkward corner, an island, the pieces that the standard range cannot do. It is very common today, and it is an excellent lever: either to bring the budget down, or to build bigger for the same budget.
The flat-pack kitchen, fitted and adjusted. A well-fitted flat-pack kitchen does a real job, and I fit it without any qualms. Better still: I rework it, adjust it, and make the pieces that are missing. That is often what separates a flat-pack kitchen that looks like a flat-pack from one that looks built in. I have delivered some lovely ones that way.
What does not change from one option to another: no salesperson, no network margin. You talk to the person who designs, builds and fits. A single point of contact, a quote itemised line by line, and a price that does not move once signed. So tell me your budget from the first call: my job is to adapt the proposal, and there is a solution for pretty much every request.
To see what I build in the workshop, have a look at my bespoke kitchen page, my fitted kitchens and my portfolio.
Not always. At the top end, I am often at the same price as a big showroom brand, sometimes below it, because there is no showroom and no salesperson to fund. And when the budget is tight, I do not send you away empty handed: we move to standard carcasses that I adjust, or to a flat-pack kitchen that I rework and fit. Bespoke is not a religion, it is one tool among others.
Allow 6 to 12 weeks in general between approving the quote and the fitting, depending on my workshop schedule and supplier lead times. The fitting itself takes from 2 days to a week depending on the kitchen.
Yes, and it is a real source of savings. I design the carcasses around your existing appliances if they work well. We only replace what is at the end of its life.
I come and measure, we talk about how you cook and about your budget, and I put a priced design to you. Free of charge, with no obligation. I speak English, so feel free to call or write in English.
