Whether you are renovating a small apartment kitchen in Jounieh or a full open-plan kitchen in a villa in Tripoli, our team has the experience to deliver a luxury result on time and on budget. If you are still shaping the design brief, our guide to modern kitchen design ideas for Lebanese homes covers the layouts, colours and storage upgrades worth planning into a renovation.

Kitchen renovation costs in Lebanon vary widely depending on the size of the space, chosen materials, layout complexity, and finish level. As a general guide for a full KITWOOD kitchen renovation:

• Mid-range renovation (lacquered fronts, quartz worktops, integrated appliances): €15,000 – €35,000
• High-end/luxury renovation (handleless lacquer, stone island, full-height cabinetry, premium hardware): €35,000 – €80,000+
• Complete luxury/flagship renovation (Doimo Cucine Italian systems, bespoke stone, architect-grade hardware): €60,000+

These figures typically include design, manufacturing, delivery, and installation but not appliances. At KITWOOD, we provide a detailed, fully transparent quotation after measuring your space — completely free of charge and with no obligation.

The first honest question in any renovation is whether the existing kitchen is worth renovating at all. If the carcasses are structurally sound and the layout works, a partial refresh — new doors, new worktops, upgraded hardware — can transform the appearance and function of a kitchen at a fraction of full replacement cost.

If the carcasses are weak (cheap raw particleboard swelling at the bases, MDF edges deteriorating, screws losing hold), there is no point putting new fronts on a failing structure. We often see homeowners attempt a partial renovation, only to discover once the fronts come off that the substrate requires full replacement anyway — having already spent budget on the partial approach.

The rule of thumb we use: if the kitchen is over ten years old and was originally built at a budget carpentry level, full replacement is almost always the better long-term investment. If it is under ten years old and was built to a high spec, a partial refresh is often excellent value. That honest assessment should happen before any budget is committed. For a deeper read on how kitchen materials age in Lebanon's climate, see our kitchen materials guide.

A common mistake is budgeting only for the kitchen itself, then discovering the broader renovation scope is much wider. Removing and disposing of the existing kitchen costs money (typically $500–$1,500 depending on complexity). Patching walls and ceilings after cabinet removal costs money. Moving a sink involves a plumber; relocating appliances may involve an electrician. If the floor or wall tiling does not extend to where the new cabinets sit, it may need extending or replacing.

In most Lebanese renovation projects, these site costs add 15 to 25 percent to the headline kitchen budget. A kitchen quoted at $15,000 typically becomes a $17,500–$18,500 project once site works are included. Planning for this honestly from the start — rather than treating the kitchen price as the total project cost — is what separates renovations that go smoothly from ones that generate stress halfway through.

Items to budget for explicitly: demolition and waste removal, electrical work (new circuits, sockets, lighting), plumbing modifications, wall and ceiling repairs after cabinet removal, tile or flooring extension, painting after installation, and appliance delivery and connection. None of these are optional in a real renovation, and all of them have a price.

The order in which renovation decisions are made matters as much as the decisions themselves. The pattern that consistently produces good outcomes:

1. Site assessment and honest brief — what is failing, what the household actually needs, and the realistic budget including site works
2. Layout decisions before any aesthetic decisions — colours and finishes can change late in the design; layout cannot
3. Storage logic before cabinetry count — work out where every category of items lives before specifying cabinets
4. Appliance specification early — appliances drive cabinet dimensions, not the other way around
5. Material selection with samples seen at scale — a full door sample under real lighting, not a credit-card swatch
6. Design freeze and signed drawings before production starts
7. Site preparation completed before cabinet delivery — walls patched, floor extended, plumbing and electrical roughed in
8. Cabinet installation, then worktop templating, then worktop installation, then snagging

The most common mistakes we see in Lebanese renovations: starting demolition before the new kitchen is in production (leaving the household without a kitchen for weeks longer than necessary), choosing finishes before the layout is locked, and treating the kitchen company and the contractor as separate scopes that will somehow coordinate themselves on site. They will not — someone has to own the coordination, and the kitchen company is usually best placed to do it.

A typical KITWOOD kitchen renovation follows this timeline:

• Free consultation and site measure: 1–2 visits
• 3D design development and approval: 1 week
• Manufacturing in our Zouk Mosbeh facility: 1 to 3 months depending on the model
• Delivery and installation on site: 2 to 5 days depending on the project

We provide a precise timeline at the start of every project. Complex projects involving structural changes or imported Italian systems may require additional time.
