🏡 How Much Does a Kitchen Renovation Cost in Sydney?

If you’re dreaming of a stunning, functional kitchen that reflects your style and enhances your lifestyle, you’re not alone. A kitchen renovation is one of the most rewarding investments you can make in your home—and in Sydney, it’s one of the most popular.

At Butterfly Joinery, we craft bespoke kitchens that balance beauty, function, and longevity. But how much should you expect to spend? Let’s break it down.

💰 What’s the Average Cost of a Kitchen Renovation in Sydney?

Kitchen renovation costs in Sydney can vary widely depending on the size of your kitchen, the quality of materials, and the level of customisation.

Here’s a general guide:

Kitchen Type Approx. Cost (AUD)Budget Renovation$15,000 – $25,000Mid-Range Renovation$25,000 – $45,000High-End Custom Renovation$45,000 – $100,000+

If you're working with a designer or craftspeople (like us!) who specialise in premium materials, architectural detail, and handmade joinery, expect to fall within the mid to high-end range.

🔨 What Influences the Cost?

There’s no one-size-fits-all price tag, but here are the key factors that impact how much your kitchen renovation will cost:

1. Cabinetry and Joinery

Custom-built cabinets tailored to your kitchen’s dimensions and your lifestyle needs will cost more than off-the-shelf units—but they also offer unmatched quality, longevity, and design flexibility. We use premium materials and expert craftsmanship to create timeless cabinetry that elevates every space.

2. Benchtops

Stone, quartz, marble, stainless steel, timber—each has its own price range and aesthetic. Expect stone benchtops to start from $3,000 and up, depending on the material and thickness.

3. Appliances

Built-in or freestanding? Luxury brands or functional basics? Appliance packages can range from $4,000 to $20,000+.

4. Layout Changes

If you're moving plumbing or electrical points, or changing walls, you’ll need licensed trades. These changes add to the budget but can significantly improve the kitchen’s usability.

5. Finishes and Fixtures

Tapware, handles, splashbacks, lighting—all the finishing touches that define the personality of your kitchen can range from affordable to high-end.
