Cost is the first question most clients ask when they begin planning a luxury kitchen — and it is the one that comes with the widest range of honest answers. A luxury kitchen in Ireland can range from €40,000 to well beyond €200,000, depending on specification, materials, appliances, and the design and installation expertise behind it. Understanding what drives that range is the difference between a kitchen that disappoints and one that performs beautifully for the next twenty-five years.
At McNally Living in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, we have been designing and installing luxury LEICHT kitchens for discerning homeowners, architects, and interior designers across Ireland for more than fifty years. This guide reflects what we see in the Irish market in 2026.
What a Luxury Kitchen Actually Costs in Ireland in 2026
A well-specified luxury kitchen in Ireland typically falls into one of three tiers.
Entry-level luxury: €40,000–€70,000. A full premium kitchen from a German-engineered brand such as LEICHT, with mid-to-high specification finishes, quality integrated appliances, and professional design and installation. This is where most first-time luxury buyers begin.
Mid-tier luxury: €70,000–€120,000. Larger projects with more complex layouts, premium worktop materials such as natural stone or book-matched quartz, a full suite of integrated Gaggenau, Bora or Siemens appliances, and more sophisticated cabinetry detailing. This is the most common range for Dublin 4 and Dublin 6 residential renovations. If you are also considering the long-term value of your investment, our guide on whether luxury kitchens increase property value in Dublin is worth reading first.
Premium and bespoke luxury: €120,000–€200,000+. Large, complex kitchens with bespoke cabinetry detail, custom handleless finishes, architectural lighting, integrated furniture and wall-to-wall material consistency. These are the projects where architects and interior designers are typically involved from the outset and where McNally works most closely with the design community on specification and delivery.
These figures cover design, cabinetry, worktops, and installation. Premium appliances are typically quoted separately.
What Drives the Cost of a Luxury Kitchen
Cabinetry and Finish
The single largest cost variable is cabinetry. Standard German-engineered carcasses from a premium brand such as LEICHT sit at the top of the European market for quality — but the finish you specify will move the price significantly. Hand-lacquered matt finishes, real wood veneers such as the LEICHT Bossa range, and architectural handleless detailing all command a premium over standard foil-wrapped finishes. The difference between an entry-level luxury finish and a top-tier one can easily run €15,000–€25,000 across a full kitchen.
Worktop Material
A luxury kitchen worktop in Ireland in 2026 typically starts at €4,000–€6,000 for quality quartz and extends well beyond €20,000 for book-matched natural stone or Dekton installations with matching splashbacks and island waterfalls. The worktop is where material choices are most visible and most commonly underbudgeted.
Appliance Specification
A full suite of premium integrated appliances — Gaggenau ovens, Bora induction and extraction, Siemens or Miele cooling — adds €20,000 to €45,000 to the total depending on specification. For LEICHT kitchens in particular, appliance integration is part of the design language and influences both cost and the architectural coherence of the finished space.
Design and Installation Expertise
This is where the gap between a luxury kitchen and a merely expensive kitchen is made. Design consultation, 3D CAD modelling, site survey, technical drawing, manufacturing coordination, and specialist installation all sit inside the cost of a genuinely luxury project. At McNally, every kitchen is overseen from initial consultation through to final snag by the same design team — a model that sits naturally with the expectations of architects and interior designers we work with.
What Architects and Interior Designers Should Know
For architects and interior designers specifying luxury kitchens for clients, cost conversations are rarely about price alone — they are about value delivered over the life of the project. LEICHT kitchens offer a specification-level consistency that makes them particularly well suited to architectural briefs, where material matching, light reflection, and spatial coherence need to hold across the whole project.
McNally works directly with the design community across Dublin and beyond on project specification, technical drawings, and delivery coordination. Trade consultations are handled quietly and professionally, with full CAD support and a dedicated point of contact from enquiry through installation.
Getting an Accurate Quote
The only way to get an accurate quote for a luxury kitchen in Ireland is a detailed design consultation and specification. At our Ballsbridge showroom, every project begins with a personal consultation — we walk through the brief, the space, the materials, and the budget before any design work begins. What follows is a clear, itemised, fixed-price quotation with no hidden costs.
