Kitchen prices are going up, from appliances to timber

The increase in kitchen prices is a result of a combination of factors, including rising material costs and consumer demand for high-end features. The growing popularity of smart home appliances and premium finishes such as quartz worktops and bespoke cabinetry are driving up costs, as are increased prices for timber and other building materials. Additionally, the ongoing impact of global supply chain disruptions and pandemic-related shortages is contributing to the upward trend in kitchen prices. As a result, homeowners and renovators are being forced to adapt to higher costs and consider more affordable alternatives, such as second-hand or sustainable materials, in order to stay within budget.
