The kitchen is the heart of most homes, and often the reason people start a renovation. A new kitchen usually involves more than the cabinets: walls are moved, pipes and electrics are rerouted, and floors and lighting are renewed.
Open-plan kitchen
By opening up the ground floor, the kitchen and living room become one bright space. The herringbone floor runs through the whole area, and the white kitchen with a dark worktop keeps the look calm.
Kitchen island under a rooflight
A rooflight above the kitchen brings daylight deep into the house, which is especially valuable in the long, narrow homes common in The Hague. Recessed spots provide light for cooking in the evening.
Classic kitchen with grey cabinets
Panelled cabinets in a soft grey, a black worktop and a recessed lit niche give this kitchen a classic character that fits an older home.
What a kitchen renovation costs
As a rough indication, a kitchen renovation costs €15,000 – €40,000 or more, depending on the size of the kitchen, the units, worktop and appliances, and the amount of building work around it.
What a kitchen renovation involves
