Understanding your full kitchen quote helps you make a confident decision. Wondering why one company’s quote is much higher than another’s? Here’s what actually goes into the price:
1. Cabinets — Cost depends on size and layout. Weak materials can bend under heavy countertops over time. At Bespoke Decor, our cabinets are precision-built to hold weight and last.
2. Core material — Plywood, MDF, or particle board — each has a different price and durability.
3. Shutter finish — Laminate pricing varies by brand. PU finishes cost more if handpainted vs factory-finished.
4. Edge banding — Premium brands cost more but match the shutter colour more precisely.
5. Accessories — E.g., 304-grade steel baskets cost more than 201-grade but resist rust much better in Kerala’s humidity.
6. Drawer systems — Soft-close drawers cost more but last longer and feel smoother.
7. Drawers vs shelves — Drawers cost more than shelves but are far more functional.
8. Hardware — Soft-close hinges can cost up to 5x more than basic hinges — but the smooth, quiet operation is worth it.
9. Installation — Always confirm labour and installation are included. Ours are.
10. Design charges — Some companies hide this cost. Always ask upfront.
11. Legs — Lifts the kitchen off the floor for easier cleaning; cost depends on brand.
12. Skirting — Covers the legs for a neater look; optional extra cost.
13. Sink & faucet — Many options across budgets.
14. Countertop — Choose based on your climate and taste — from economical to premium.
15. Dado tiles — A premium backsplash that protects walls and looks great. We hope this helps you compare quotes confidently. Reach out to us at +91 90201 07023 / +91 90201 07022 for more questions.
