Deciding between a flat pack kitchen or a pre-built kitchen can often come down to price, however there are several factors to consider when making your choice as continuing advances in manufacturing and production methods now gives buyers more options then ever before.
Cost
Let's tackle the main question first, How much does a new kitchen cost? depending on size, finish and features this figure could vary greatly. Often people make the mistake of assuming that flat pack is cheaper than a pre-built kitchen. Due to new manufacturing processes this isn't always the case, additionally you have to sacrifice quality when it comes to choosing flat pack options.
Customisation Options
This is the main reason people end up choosing pre-built kitchens over flat pack.
When you choose flat pack kitchens you often miss out on the choice when it comes to customisation for options like cabinet facings, bench top sizes and materials, and optional extras such as pull-out pantries and lighting, which can transform the usability of your kitchen.

Materials
Flat pack kitchens often mean white, white and more white, but the design options today with pre-built kitchens are virtually endless. There is a huge range of choice for colours, textures and patterns, from matt and gloss finishes to a vast array of timber grains.
Thanks to improvements in laminate technology, new textured laminates give the look and feel of the real thing. They cost a little more than non-textured laminates, but the boost it gives your kitchen is worth it. This can help keep the cost of your new custom kitchen down.

Installation
Flat Pack kitchens can be major projects and require some serious D.I.Y experience. You will also need a licensed plumber and electrician to complete the job. This can often increase the cost and add extra time to a renovation or build.
