Clear expectations make for smoother projects. Here’s a practical breakdown of investment ranges, timelines and decision points for a bespoke Dublin kitchen.
What Drives the Cost?
- Layout & size: Islands, peninsulas and full-height cabinetry increase materials and time.
- Door style & finish: Painted shaker vs. ultra-matte slab; special colours or timber veneers.
- Worktops: Premium surfaces like XTone® and bespoke edge details.
- Appliances: Entry to flagship lines from Sub-Zero & Wolf and beyond.
- Joinery extras: Pantry walls, bespoke larders, banquette seating and utility rooms.
Typical Timeline in Dublin
- Week 0–2: Design consultation, concept, early budget alignment.
- Week 3–5: Site survey, technical drawings, 3D visuals, final spec.
- Week 6–10: In-house manufacturing and appliance ordering.
- Week 11–14: Site preparation, installation and finishing joinery.
Note: Lead times vary with complexity and appliance selections. We’ll confirm your schedule at sign-off.
Ways to Optimise Your Budget
- Prioritise touchpoints: Invest in doors, drawers and worktops you interact with daily.
- Integrate storage smartly: Bespoke larders often replace multiple small units at a better cost-to-benefit ratio.
- Future-proof utilities: Plan for induction, ventilation and water lines upfront to minimise later changes.
Design Ideas Dublin Clients Love
- Light-reflecting palettes: Pale stones and soft paints for north-facing city kitchens.
- Compact islands: 80–90cm deep islands with overhang seating keep circulation clear.
- Ceiling-line finishes: Bulkheads or cornices for a built-in, architectural look.
