Kitchen Cost Lebanon 2026: Custom Kitchen Price Guide

Kitchen prices in Lebanon vary significantly depending on three primary factors: the quality of materials, the manufacturing method, and the scope of the project. As a working guide from KITWOOD — one of Lebanon's longest-established kitchen manufacturers:

Entry-level custom cabinetry (moisture-resistant carcass, lacquered doors, Blum hardware, 5–8 linear metres): $10,000–$18,000

Mid-range premium cabinetry (two-tone lacquer or veneer-fronted doors, provision for appliance integration, 8–12 linear metres): $18,000–$35,000

High-end luxury cabinetry (flagship collection, full-height cabinetry, premium door and hardware specification): $35,000–$65,000

Ultra-premium cabinetry (TWENTYTWO collection, bespoke door finishes, architectural lighting provision, extended cabinetry scope): $65,000+

What the estimated cabinetry price includes: kitchen cabinetry, standard internal fittings, standard Blum hinges and drawer systems, design service, delivery, and professional installation.

What is normally priced separately: countertops and worktops, appliances, sinks and mixers, premium accessories and internal organizers, and any electrical, plumbing, or civil works. Worktops and appliances are identified as separate line items at specification stage in the same itemised quotation; a complete-project budget therefore depends on the selections made.

Understanding what you are paying for is the most important step before making a decision. Kitchen cost in Lebanon breaks down into four main categories:

1. CABINETRY MANUFACTURE (typically 50–60% of total cost) This is where quality decisions matter most. Carcass material (particleboard with documented water-resistant performance and a separate E1 low-emissions classification versus poorly specified raw particleboard), door manufacturing quality, and the precision of joinery all affect performance in Lebanon's humid climate. Assess the specification, edge sealing, installation, exposure, use, maintenance, and current condition rather than applying a fixed lifespan or failure forecast.

2. WORKTOPS (typically 15–25% of total cost) Natural stone (marble, granite) requires templating and fabrication in-house. Engineered quartz may offer a strong cost-to-performance balance when the selected product, exposure, installation, use and care suit the project. Large-format porcelain may offer lower maintenance than natural stone for some products and applications; compare the written rating and care requirements. Worktop cost depends heavily on slab size, edge profile, and the number of cutouts required.

3. HARDWARE (typically 5–10% of total cost) Blum (Austria) hardware is widely specified for soft-close mechanisms, drawer runners, and hinge systems. Compare published specifications, installation, adjustment, serviceability, and warranty terms for alternatives.

4. APPLIANCES (variable — typically purchased separately) Appliances are usually priced separately. The range is vast: from $5,000 for a complete mid-range set to $30,000+ for Gaggenau or Miele appliance packages. KITWOOD can supply and integrate appliances, or work with appliances you source independently.

This question comes up often, and the answer is more nuanced than the marketing suggests. An imported Italian kitchen system carries strong brand equity and precise engineering — but it comes with fixed module dimensions, longer lead times (often 12–16 weeks), and a higher price that includes shipping and import duties.

A high-quality Lebanese manufacturer can often match or exceed the structural quality of imported systems, with the major practical advantages of fully custom dimensions (critical in Lebanese apartments where walls are never perfectly standard), faster project timelines, and direct after-sales support without an import chain in between.

This matters especially in Lebanon because apartment layouts frequently have column intrusions, irregular wall angles, and ceiling variations that standard imported module sizes cannot accommodate cleanly. A locally manufactured custom kitchen can be designed to the millimetre.

For clients who want Italian provenance specifically, KITWOOD is the exclusive Lebanese distributor for Doimo Cucine — giving access to Italian-engineered quality with local coordination and support.

A kitchen renovation and a new kitchen installation often overlap in scope, but the distinctions affect cost:

FULL REPLACEMENT (new cabinetry, worktops, appliances, removal/disposal, and any required site or service works, each quoted as a separate line item): This is a new kitchen installation. The cabinetry component follows the applicable ranges above; the complete-project total cannot be inferred from those cabinetry ranges alone. The existing kitchen is removed and disposed of where included in the itemised scope.

CABINETRY AND WORKTOP REPLACEMENT (new doors, new carcasses, and new worktops while retaining the existing layout): This is a cabinetry-and-worktop scope, not a full-project price. Worktops are part of this replacement scope, while appliances, removal/disposal, and any required site or service works remain separate line items where applicable. Retaining existing plumbing or electrical infrastructure may affect the required work, but the quotation should state the actual scope.

DOOR AND WORKTOP REFRESH (existing carcasses kept, doors and worktops replaced): A narrower renovation scope, priced according to the selected doors, worktops, and any required site work — provided the existing carcasses are in good structural condition.

At KITWOOD, we assess the existing kitchen during the free consultation and give honest advice on which approach delivers the best outcome for your budget.

Lebanon's kitchen market has no shortage of low-price options — imported flat-pack systems, assembled locally, with catalogue finishes and unbranded hardware. A full kitchen can be offered at $3,000–$6,000.

Here is what should be checked in practice:

Poorly specified raw particleboard can be vulnerable to Beirut's ambient humidity; unbranded hinges and drawer runners, door coatings, and worktop joints should be assessed by their current condition, installation, exposure, and maintenance history rather than assigned fixed failure dates.

A KITWOOD kitchen uses ecological particleboard with documented water-resistant performance and a separate E1 low-emissions classification, Blum hardware with published cycle ratings, and UV-resistant door finishes. Actual serviceability depends on the selected specification, edge sealing, installation, exposure, use, maintenance, and warranty terms; no fixed lifespan or replacement age is promised.

The lowest initial price is not the only cost consideration. Compare the complete specification, installation, serviceability, and documented warranty terms.

Our recommendation for clients planning a kitchen in Lebanon:

1. Decide on your non-negotiables first. What cannot be compromised? For most clients: the carcass and hardware specification, including product rating, installation, serviceability and maintenance, and the worktop material (which defines the kitchen aesthetically).

2. Be realistic about scope. An open-plan kitchen with an island costs significantly more than a galley kitchen of the same quality — due to worktop surface area, additional cabinetry, and installation complexity.

3. Get a detailed quotation before comparing prices. A price comparison between companies is only meaningful if both quotations are itemised at the same specification level. Ask for: carcass material, door brand and manufacturing process, hardware brand, and worktop type and thickness. Our guide to choosing between kitchen companies in Lebanon explains the four supplier types and what each typically charges.

4. Budget for appliances separately. High-end appliances can exceed the kitchen cabinetry cost. Build them into your total budget, not as an afterthought.

5. Reserve 10–15% contingency for site surprises. In Lebanese residential buildings, surprises during installation are common — plumbing positions, wall conditions, ceiling heights — and they affect installation cost.
