Kitchen design in Ireland

Three ways to get a kitchen designed, what each costs, and what to bring to the first meeting.

Free, no obligation. One kitchen company near you prices it, not five.

The short answer. Kitchen design is usually free when the company that makes the kitchen designs it. Some suppliers charge a design fee of about €180 plus VAT, taken off the kitchen when you order. An independent designer charges about €250 for a consultation and €450 for a full design.

Three ways to get a kitchen designed

  • The kitchen company: free, and the design is drawn to their range.
  • A supplier's designer: about €180 plus VAT, deducted when you order.
  • An independent designer: about €250 for a home consultation and €450 for a full design, and you take the drawings anywhere.

What a designer does

Measures the room, works out where the sink, hob and fridge go, plans the walkways and storage, and draws the doors, worktop and appliances so you can price it like for like.

What to bring

  • The room measured wall to wall, with the window, door, radiator and boiler marked.
  • Photos of each wall.
  • What you cook, what you store, who uses the kitchen.
  • A budget, even roughly.
