Kitchen renovations are exciting — until you see the price tag. Cabinets can easily eat up 40% or more of your total kitchen budget, making them one of the biggest expenses in any remodel. But the good news is, with a smart strategy, you can save thousands without compromising on style or quality. Here’s how.
Not all cabinets are priced equally.
Stock cabinets: These are mass-produced in standard sizes and finishes, and the most affordable. Great if your kitchen is a typical layout.
Semi-custom cabinets: Offer more style, finish, and size options for a moderate upcharge.
Custom cabinets: Built to your exact specifications — beautiful, but the most expensive.
Solid wood is attractive, but high-quality plywood or MDF door panels can save money while still looking fantastic. Ask your supplier about cost-effective alternatives that maintain durability.
Changing the kitchen footprint means paying for extra plumbing, electrical, and sometimes structural work.
Try to keep sinks, stoves, and major appliances in the same locations.
Avoid complex cabinet shapes (like angled corners or specialty pull-outs) that drive up costs.
Floating shelves cost a fraction of enclosed cabinets and can create a stylish, airy look. Use them for dishes or décor, and reserve cabinets for things you want hidden.
Buying cabinets direct from a manufacturer like Dawson Stone and Cabinet eliminates middleman markups. We also offer ready-to-assemble (RTA) options that arrive flat-packed. If you (or your installer) are handy, you can save substantially on both the product and labor.
Soft-close hinges and slides are usually worth it, but fancy inserts, lazy Susans, or pull-out spice racks can add up quickly. Pick a few features that truly matter and skip the rest.
