The products and materials you
choose will have the greatest impact on your new kitchen's price
tag. Cabinets typically account for half the cost.
Installation and labor costs (which vary most by geography) take
up the next biggest chunk—about 16 percent—followed by the costs
of other major design elements.
So what then affects the cost of
the products and materials?

To help focus your selection
process, ask yourself the following questions.
1. What’s the main
reason I’m planning to invest in a new kitchen? Does my new
kitchen represent an investment in the home I plan to stay in
for a while or am I just looking to spruce it up for resale?
2. How much do I want
to spend on my new kitchen?
3. If I’m building a
new home, how much can I spend on the kitchen? Is the price
included in the total cost of the project? How much flexibility
do I have with the kitchen’s design and layout?
4. How much do my
favorite products and materials cost for my ideal kitchen?
5. Does the cost of my
ideal kitchen exceed my practical budget? What less expensive
materials could I substitute for pricier options if I need to
lower my costs?
6. What time frame
would I like to have my kitchen completed in? Do I have time to
wait for pricier custom treatments or am I in a hurry?
7. Have I set aside
some cash as a cushion for unexpected costs?
8. How much do I want
to budget for the cabinets, which typically account for half the
budget for a new kitchen?
9. Do I plan to supply
any of the materials or do any of the installation work myself?
10. Do I plan to work
with a designer?
