How Much Will New Ones Cost?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Given how much styles have changed in recent years, many homeowners share the desire to upgrade their kitchen cabinetry. The cherry and maple wood cabinets that became popular in the 2010s<\/a> were unfortunately a fleeting trend. These darker finishes have since faded in favor of light and white kitchen color palettes<\/a>, which continue to dominate the market and top homebuyer wish lists.<\/p>\n

With new cabinetry, you also have the chance to plan for additional storage in the form of features like slide-out shelves and toe-kick drawers<\/a>. An ideal arrangement gives ample space for perfectly stacked pots and pans, too. Bonus points if you can include a Tupperware-toting Lazy Susan that glides with effortless ease.<\/p>\n

When you get lost in the dizzying array of designs and materials to choose from, ground yourself with our cost guide to complete this project with your personal budget in mind.<\/p>\n

Kitchen cabinet cost overview<\/h2>\n

Kitchen cabinets are measured and priced by the linear foot. To help consumers gauge costs, cabinet retailers will often provide estimates based on a 10×10 kitchen \u2014 or a kitchen with approximately 20 linear square feet<\/a> of cabinets.<\/p>\n

According to HomeAdvisor, the cost of cabinets per linear foot ranges from $100 to $1,200<\/b> on average nationwide. If we assume a middle-of-the-road cabinet selection will come in around $650 per linear foot<\/b>, the cost of this project runs at $13,000 on average. <\/b>But your costs could run as low as $2,000 or as high as $24,000 using these estimates.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind, too, that if you\u2019re remodeling a smaller kitchen, you could pay more per linear foot for your cabinet material and come in at the same or lower costs as you would with a less expensive material in a larger kitchen.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say you select a cabinet material that runs at the average $650 per linear square foot. That\u2019ll cost you $16,250 to install in a kitchen with 25 linear feet of wall space, but only $9,100 to install on a 7×7 kitchen totaling 14 linear feet of wall space.<\/p>\n

Another way to look at it: the average homeowner should expect to spend roughly 20%-30% of their entire kitchen remodel cost<\/a> on the installation of new cabinets. The typical cost to remodel a kitchen<\/a> can range anywhere from:<\/p>\n
