How Much Does a Custom Kitchen Cost in Miami?

A fully custom kitchen in Miami typically costs $90,000 to $350,000+, with most Coral Gables and Bal Harbour projects landing between $130,000 and $250,000. The range is wide because cabinetry material, stone, appliances, and the size of the room all move the number. These are typical ranges and vary by scope, so request a quote for an exact figure.

What is included in a custom kitchen price?

A bespoke kitchen price covers far more than boxes on a wall. It is a complete, made-to-order system designed for your home and your cooking.

• Cabinetry — designed in-house and built to your exact dimensions, with your choice of oak or walnut veneer, matte lacquer, or Fenix surfaces.
• Countertops and island stone — honed Calacatta, quartzite, or porcelain, including slab selection and fabrication.
• Hardware and details — brushed brass or bronze pulls, integrated lighting, soft-close mechanisms, and interior fittings.
• Appliances — often the single largest variable, from $20,000 to $90,000+ depending on the brand and configuration.
• Design, project management, and installation — the work that makes everything fit and function as one piece.

What are typical price ranges by tier?

Most clients fall into one of three tiers. These are honest ballparks for a Miami kitchen; your scope will shift the final number.

• Refined ($90,000–$140,000): A well-designed bespoke kitchen with veneer or quality lacquer cabinetry, quartzite or porcelain counters, and a strong mid-to-high appliance package.
• Signature ($140,000–$230,000): Premium materials throughout — matte lacquer or fine walnut, honed Calacatta, a feature island, and integrated luxury appliances.
• Bespoke ($230,000–$350,000+): No constraints. Book-matched stone, mixed materials, fully integrated panels, custom millwork beyond the kitchen, and the highest appliance tier.

What drives the cost up or down in South Florida?

The biggest cost levers in a Miami kitchen are size, material choice, and appliances. A few factors are specific to the region.

• Coastal humidity means we specify finishes and substrates that resist warping and moisture, which protects your investment in Sunny Isles, Bal Harbour, and waterfront homes.
• Indoor–outdoor living often adds a summer kitchen or a pass-through, which expands scope.
• High-rise logistics in Brickell and Edgewater can add delivery and access costs, since materials move through service elevators on a schedule.
• Stone selection can swing the budget by tens of thousands; a dramatic book-matched Calacatta island reads very differently from a calm honed quartzite.

How does made-to-order in Italy affect the price?

Our kitchens are designed in-house in Coral Gables and crafted in Italy by Aran Cucine, then installed by our own team. Made-to-order construction costs more than stock cabinetry because nothing is pulled from a warehouse — every cabinet is built to your plan. In return you get exact fit, superior materials, and a kitchen that lasts decades rather than years.

How do I budget for my project?

Start with the room and your priorities, not a catalog. We recommend deciding early where you want to spend — many clients invest in the island stone and a few hero appliances, then keep perimeter cabinetry calm and timeless. A clear brief lets us design to your budget rather than against it.

The most expensive kitchen is the one you replace in eight years. Built correctly the first time, a bespoke kitchen is a 20-year decision.

How can I get the most value for my budget?

Spend where it shows and where it works hardest, and simplify everywhere else. A well-balanced kitchen feels expensive without being indulgent at every turn.

• Invest in the island, the social and visual center of an open Miami kitchen — this is where dramatic stone and a waterfall edge earn their cost.
• Choose a few hero appliances you will use daily rather than a full suite of specialty pieces that sit idle.
• Keep perimeter cabinetry calm in timeless veneer or lacquer so the design ages well and the budget stretches further.
• Decide early and commit, since mid-project changes to a made-to-order kitchen are the most common source of unplanned cost.

This approach is exactly how we guide clients from Coconut Grove to Sunny Isles — toward a kitchen that reads as fully bespoke while every dollar lands somewhere you can see and feel.

Frequently asked questions

Is a custom kitchen worth it over semi-custom?

For most luxury Miami homes, yes. Custom gives you exact dimensions, better materials, and a result tailored to your space. Semi-custom saves money but limits sizes, finishes, and details.

What is the most expensive part of a kitchen?

Usually appliances and stone. A full luxury appliance package can exceed $80,000, and a book-matched stone island can run well into five figures on its own.

Can you work within a fixed budget?

Yes. We design to your budget from the first meeting, guiding where to invest and where to simplify so the result feels complete and intentional.

How long does a custom kitchen take?

Typically four to seven months from design approval to installation, since cabinetry is built to order in Italy. We plan the timeline with you up front.

Every kitchen we build is priced to its own scope, so the honest answer to your budget lives in a conversation. Book a free consultation and we will walk through your space, your priorities, and a realistic range — or see our work to find your direction first.
