Kitchen Prices: What an Italian Kitchen Costs
An honest answer to the question everyone asks first. What an Italian kitchen costs, what moves the price up or down, and exactly what is included — from the team that curates 17 houses in Neo Psychiko.
In short
A complete Italian kitchen runs indicatively from €5,000 to €60,000+, for a 4–6 linear-metre kitchen. The front material is the single biggest factor:
- Melamine — € · hard-wearing, affordable base for daily use.
- Fenix & advanced HPL — €€ · super-matt and anti-fingerprint; a premium material, not a cheap one.
- Semi-solid — €€–€€€ · solid frame with a panel; the look of solid wood at a more reasonable cost.
- Lacquer, veneer, solid wood — €€€ · premium fronts, each with its own character.
- Glass, aluminium, hand-applied finishes — €€€€ · the upper end of the range.
- We do not sell kitchens online and we publish no price list: we will give you an exact quote after the design and 3D visualisation, which are free and carry no obligation.
The philosophy of each house
Every house we curate is distinguished by exceptional, non-negotiable quality. There are no “better” or “worse” choices — the difference comes purely from the materials used, the level of customisation, and the identity of each brand.
| Philosophy & Materials | What it means for your design | Houses |
|---|---|---|
| Contemporary Materials & Smart Investment | Top build quality in modern, hard-wearing materials (such as advanced-technology melamine). They offer outstanding performance for the price, because you are not paying a premium for the name. | Gentili Cucine, Arbi Arredobagno |
| Flexibility & Contemporary Design | A vast range of options and materials (melamine included) that adapt to any need. An ideal choice for contemporary spaces (the ONDA line stands out). | Febal Casa |
| Authenticity & Solid Wood | For those who love natural materials. They work almost exclusively in solid wood, which is reflected in the higher value and the longevity of their pieces. | Scandola Mobili, Callesella |
| High Customisation & Innovation | Handcrafted detailing, premium finishes and advanced compositions. They focus on complete customisation for demanding architectural projects. | Sira Cucine, GF Interiors, Pedini |
| Architectural Applications | Houses specialising in doors, boiserie and bespoke joinery to the highest specification, for the complete finishing of a space. | Barausse, Atelier Casabella |
Price by front material
A relative scale, not absolute prices — because the same material costs differently depending on the house, the size and the composition.
| Material | Scale | What you are paying for |
|---|---|---|
| Melamine | € | A hard-wearing, stable base for daily use. Modern melamine is a long way from its old reputation. |
| HPL & Fenix | €€ | Super-matt surface, anti-fingerprint, micro-scratch healing. A premium material at an accessible level. |
| Semi-solid | €€–€€€ | Solid frame with a panel. The look and feel of solid wood, with less timber. |
| Veneer | €€€ | Natural grain on a stable base — a natural look without the volume of solid wood. |
| Lacquer | €€€ | Even colour and depth. Matt, gloss or metallic; hand-applied patinas cost more. |
| Solid wood | €€€ | Volume of timber and handwork. It ages well and can be renewed. |
| Glass & aluminium | €€€€ | Clean, contemporary fronts of high value and demanding construction. |

Solid or semi-solid?
Two different constructions that are often confused — and the difference shows in the price.
Solid wood
The door is made entirely of solid timber. You are paying for the volume of wood and the handwork, and you get a front that ages well and can be renewed years later. It is the most expensive end of the wooden fronts.
Semi-solid
The frame is solid and the panel is veneer or MDF. It costs noticeably less, with an almost identical look from half a metre away. For a classic style on a sensible budget it is one of the smartest choices.
Both are built by Callesella, Sira Cucine and Scandola Mobili. In the showroom you will see them side by side and understand the difference in touch immediately.
What drives the cost
Five things move the price more than anything else.
Size and composition
The linear metres, the number of cabinets, the island and the tall units. A U-shaped kitchen costs differently from a single run, even in the same materials.
The front material
The single biggest factor — see the scale above.
The worktop
Quartz, sintered stone, solid wood or laminate: the worktop can change the total noticeably. The worktops guide compares them in detail.
Mechanisms and fittings
Soft-close drawers, lift-ups, internal organisation and lighting. They do not show in a photograph, but you use them every day.
Hand-applied finishes
Patinas, limed effects and special treatments are done by hand, one piece at a time. That is where the upper end of the range goes.
What the price includes
The most common reason two quotes appear to differ is that they do not include the same things.
Included
· The design and 3D visualisation — free and with no obligation
· The cabinets with their fronts and interiors
· The mechanisms: drawers, soft-close, lift-ups
· The worktop, when it is chosen together
· Delivery and installation
· 5-year manufacturer warranty
Not included
· Appliances, unless they are added
· Plumbing and electrical work in the space
· Building work: tiling, plastering, painting
For appliances we work with Miele, Bertazzoni, Franke, Invisacook and Bora — they can be added to the same quote, so the kitchen and the appliances are designed together.
Questions about price
How much does an Italian kitchen cost?
Indicatively from €5,000 to €60,000+, for a 4–6 linear-metre kitchen. The range is wide because a kitchen is not an off-the-shelf product: the front material, the size, the worktop and the mechanisms move the cost significantly. We will give you an exact quote after the design and 3D visualisation.
Why don't you publish a price list?
Because we do not sell packaged kitchens online. Every kitchen is designed to the measurements of your space, so a price without a drawing would be guesswork. The first meeting, the design and the 3D visualisation are free and carry no obligation.
How much does a lacquered kitchen cost?
Lacquer is a premium front (€€€). The cost depends on whether it is matt, gloss or metallic, on the number of coats, and on whether the finish is worked by hand. Hand-applied patinas sit at the upper end.
How much does a solid wood kitchen cost?
Solid wood (€€€) is among the most expensive front materials, because you are paying for the volume of timber and the handwork. In return it ages well and can be renewed. It is built mainly by Scandola Mobili and Callesella.
What is a semi-solid kitchen and what does it cost?
Semi-solid means a solid timber frame with a veneered or MDF panel. It costs less than full solid wood (€€–€€€) and from half a metre away looks almost identical — which makes it one of the smartest choices in a classic style.
Is melamine the cheap option?
Melamine (€) is the most affordable front material, but modern advanced-technology melamine is hard-wearing and stable in daily use. Houses such as Gentili Cucine and Arbi Arredobagno use it at top build quality.
Is HPL / Fenix a budget material?
No — and this is the most common misconception. Fenix and advanced HPL (€€) are premium materials: super-matt, anti-fingerprint, with micro-scratch healing. The budget material on the market is basic melamine, not HPL.
What does the price include?
The design and 3D visualisation, the cabinets with their fronts and interiors, the mechanisms, the worktop when it is chosen together, delivery and installation, and the 5-year manufacturer warranty. Appliances are not included unless they are added.
