"How much will it cost?" is the question we hear most often at our Celbridge showroom, and it deserves an honest answer. At Creo Interiors, every kitchen is designed, made and fitted to order, so there's no single price tag. What we can do is show you what shapes the budget, so you can plan with confidence, whether you're dreaming of a sleek contemporary space or a classic painted Shaker kitchen.
1. Size and Layout Set the Starting Point
The more cabinetry, the higher the cost. A compact galley will sit at a very different level from a large open-plan kitchen with an island and a full run of tall units.
Layout matters too. Moving plumbing or gas, adding an island, or building into an alcove all add joinery and fitting time. Our advice: decide early which features are essential and which are nice-to-haves, because that single list keeps a project on track.
2. Materials and Finishes Make the Biggest Difference
Two kitchens of identical size can differ widely in price depending on what they're made from:
- Doors: matt lacquer, timber veneer and hand-painted solid finishes each carry different material and labour costs.
- Worktops: laminate, quartz, granite, Dekton or solid wood span a broad range.
- Hardware: soft-close hinges, quality drawer runners and brass handles are small items that add up, and are well worth getting right.
3. Appliances, Taps and Lighting
Appliances are often the largest line outside the cabinetry. Integrated ovens, steam ovens, wine coolers and boiling water taps are wonderful additions, but they should be budgeted separately from the joinery.
Lighting is easy to overlook. Under-cabinet strips, pendants over the island and well-placed spotlights transform how a kitchen feels, and they cost far less if planned from the start rather than added later.
4. Where Bespoke Delivers Real Value
A bespoke kitchen is built to your exact measurements, so there are no awkward gaps, no wasted corners and no filler panels trying to disguise a poor fit. In older Irish homes with uneven walls and ceilings, that precision is invaluable.
Kasia and Tomek will talk you through the options at each stage, showing where it pays to invest (carcass quality, drawers, worktops) and where you can save without compromising the result. Because we manufacture in-house, there's no middleman and no surprises.
