Planning a kitchen renovation in Ireland can feel overwhelming at first—but with the right approach, it can be one of the most rewarding upgrades you’ll ever make to your home. Whether you’re living in a Dublin terrace, a Cork bungalow, or a new build in Galway, a well-designed kitchen not only improves everyday life but also adds long-term value to your property.
At Kube Interiors, we’ve developed a clear, practical process to guide you through every stage of your renovation. This guide outlines our approach step by step—so you can start your kitchen remodel with confidence and clarity.
Every kitchen tells a story. For some homeowners, a renovation is about improving functionality and flow; for others, it’s about updating worn finishes or embracing a more contemporary style. No matter your motivation, your kitchen should work hard for your household while also feeling like a space you truly enjoy spending time in.
Some of the most common reasons Irish homeowners undertake a kitchen renovation include:
At Kube Interiors, we help you identify your priorities from the outset so the design process is centred around what truly matters to you.
The first step in any successful renovation is knowing what you want to achieve. Before you get caught up in colours and finishes, consider how your kitchen needs to function.
Are you cooking for a large family? Do you host guests frequently? Do you need space for homework or remote work? Maybe you’re simply tired of the current layout and want to bring in more light, space, and style.
Being clear about your intentions allows you—and your kitchen designer—to create a design that solves problems rather than just looks nice.
Write your goals down—this helps when speaking to a professional kitchen designer.
Every renovation is unique, and so are the costs. Your final budget will depend on:
In Ireland, a typical kitchen remodel ranges from €8,000 to €25,000+. Kube Interiors helps you maximise your budget by offering premium European-quality kitchens with flexible options for every price point.
We also recommend building in a 10–15% buffer for unexpected costs or upgrades.
Think about your kitchen not just as a place to cook—but how it fits into your lifestyle. Do you entertain often? Do you need child-friendly layouts or compact kitchen storage solutions? Do you prefer clean, modern lines or warm, traditional features?
Key questions to ask:
Understanding how you use your kitchen will influence everything from appliance placement to whether you include a breakfast bar or full-size island. It also informs the design choices we make—because function should always come first.
While you don’t need to supply exact technical drawings, it’s helpful to bring a rough sketch and measurements to your first consultation. Take note of wall lengths, window and door placements, ceiling height, and the location of existing plumbing and electrical outlets.
Inspiration is equally important. Browse design magazines, websites, or even our Kube Interiors showrooms to collect ideas. Whether you’re drawn to sleek modern kitchens, warm Scandinavian tones, or timeless shaker styles, sharing visuals helps your designer understand your aesthetic preferences.
To get started, jot down a rough sketch of your kitchen including:
These don’t have to be exact, but they do help us give you accurate layout advice and product suggestions from the beginning.
There’s no substitute for seeing things in person. Our showrooms across Ireland—including Dublin, Cork, and Limerick—are curated to help you explore the possibilities of modern kitchen design.
When it comes to kitchen renovation Ireland homeowners trust, the showroom visit is a key step. At Kube Interiors, our showrooms in Dublin, Cork, and Galway allow you to:
You’ll leave inspired, informed, and one step closer to the kitchen you’ve been imagining.

Once you’re ready to move forward, book a one-to-one consultation with a Kube Interiors kitchen designer. These sessions take place in our showroom, where you’ll have access to all product samples and design tools.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, your budget, and your rough measurements. We’ll guide you through layout possibilities and help you decide on cabinet configurations, materials, appliances, and finishes.
Our team creates 3D drawings to show you a model of your kitchen, helping you visualise how everything will come together—from the cabinetry right down to the handles.
We’ll show you a custom layout that reflects your lifestyle, home size, and budget. You’ll see how everything fits, including appliances, cabinets, and kitchen storage.
After your consultation, the next step is to pay a deposit to confirm your intent to proceed. Your kitchen designer will guide you through the payment process and answer any questions.
After the deposit is received, we’ll arrange a technical survey with a member of Kube’s installation team. During this visit, we’ll take precise measurements and photographs of your space. This detailed information is passed on to your designer to finalise your layout and ensure everything fits perfectly.
We’ll also prepare a technical order pack, including plumbing and electrical plans—so your builder or tradesperson has everything they need before installation begins.
This step is essential to avoid surprises later and ensure a smooth, accurate fit for your new kitchen.
Once your survey is complete and you’re happy with the final design, confirm your kitchen order. At this point, our experienced Customer Services team steps in to manage everything from scheduling delivery to advising you on preparation steps.
You’ll receive ongoing updates on delivery dates and timelines, with your installation date depending on two key factors: the arrival of your kitchen and the readiness of your space for fit-out. Throughout this phase, our Customer Services team will provide guidance and keep you fully informed.
As one happy Kube client put it:
“This was an exciting moment for us—this is where it all became real. The team did a great job making sure we knew what happens next.” – Jane
Your kitchen will be delivered by Kube’s in-house delivery team, ensuring safe handling and a smooth arrival on-site. Installation is carried out by a trained Kube installer, familiar with the specific materials, layout, and style of your kitchen. Depending on the size and complexity of the design, the installation phase typically takes between two and four days.
Throughout the process, attention to detail and finish quality are our top priorities.
Once your cabinets and fittings are in place, a quartz, wooden, or stone worktop will be templated for cutting and fitting. This typically takes place after the cabinet installation and may require around 10 additional days for fabrication.
After that, your chosen plumber and electrician can return to complete final connections. From there, your new Kube kitchen is ready to use—and ready to enjoy.
Even well-intentioned kitchen projects can run into problems without careful planning. Here are a few pitfalls to avoid:
