A classic shaker kitchen from Neptune is nothing short of absolutely dreamy and they’re up there with one of the best investments you can make in a home renovation. From the timeless colours to the beautiful craftsmanship and cabinet styles that will last for generations to come, you really can’t go wrong with choosing Neptune for your future kitchen.
But, it can be a tough task trying to find a guide price to weigh up whether Neptune works with your budget. Unlike companies like IKEA, Neptune doesn’t compile the end cost by adding up the sum of each individual component like the doors, drawers and pulls. Instead, their kitchen designers will work with you to figure out the best design for your kitchen and give a price from that.
However, there are plenty of factors that go into that final cost that we can give you the figures for, with a guide price at the end to help you make the decision.
Here’s what you should know about the price of a Neptune kitchen…

1. Initial design appointments are free
To get you started, you’ll want to book a commitment-free design consultation so you can start to think about which range you like, what kind of overall style you’re aiming for, how it might work with your layout and dimensions as well as a chance to ask any questions or pick the brains of the design gurus at Neptune.
They can be done in-store or via a video call and you can book them online here, super easy! Once that’s complete, you should get a rough estimate so you know if Neptune is an option or not.

2. The full design service
Once you’ve gone through the initial stages of deciding whether Neptune is for you and you want to proceed, it’ll then cost £350 for what they call the ‘full design service’.
This entails an in-person consultation where a specialist will come to your home to measure up, understand the specific needs of the space you’re working with and from that create digital modelling, so you get a really thorough picture (literally) of kitchen you’ll be quoted on and something that works with any unique quirks in your house.

3. Prices differ between ranges
While they’re all gorgeous, the different designs in the Neptune kitchen range have different price tags. For example, the Henley is partly made of oak which is more expensive whereas the Chichester is made from a sturdy but more budget-friendly tulipwood. So, your choice of design range is a great way to save on the overall cost.
All ranges come with solid timber frames so there’s no compromise on quality or longevity. As a rough guide, Neptune says that cabinets alone generally start at £8k. Read on to understand more about the added costs.

4. Size/shape/layout
Logically, the larger a kitchen, the more cabinets your overall design will require. The same idea goes for more complicated shapes or tricky layouts.
So, it goes without saying that more cabinets mean a higher price. In short, the bigger or more complicated your kitchen layout, the higher your price will be.
Having said that, there’s a silver lining for small kitchens as Neptune can work with pretty much any size and are pretty good with unusual layouts, too.

5. Paint is included
Luckily, if you go with a Neptune kitchen, each range comes as standard in a timeless colour which you can personalise with finishing touches.
But if you fancy choosing from the full palette of 50 shades, it will count as the bespoke service and cost a little more.
So, you can choose whatever suits your budget and personal style. Plus, most collections are hand-painted. How neat!

6. Other cost considerations
On top of cabinets, the total price for your kitchen design will include all the other necessities such as flooring, hardware (taps, basins), appliances (Neptune usually partner with big brand names), tiles, lighting and handles.
Depending on how much you have in your budget, you can choose to level up with higher quality materials or make a saving but choosing cheaper (by of course still Neptune-quality) options to find what’s right for you.

7. Lifetime guarantee when using an improved installer
It’s not often that a kitchen retailer offers a lifetime warranty (so long as you use an accredited installer) but we wouldn’t expect anything less from Neptune. IKEA offer a 25 year warranty as standard and Tom Howley offer 10 years, so lifetime cover is pretty impressive, we think.
If you need a little convincing that a Neptune kitchen is worth the cost, at least you can rest assured that you’re covered by the warranty for the lifetime of your kitchen.

8. How much does a Neptune Kitchen cost?
Neptune state that the average price for a fully fitted kitchen with the cabinets, worktops and appliances included sits at around £25k-£50k.
This is totally dependant on the size, materials and layout you go with it, but it helps to have a guide price so you know straight of the bat whether Neptune is on your list of options or not.

9. Bespoke
If you’re after a bespoke from Neptune, that’s absolutely a possibility as the Wiltshire workshop can cater to bespoke kitchen designs.
Bear in mind that will shoot the price up, but it’s worth noting in case you have your heart set on something bespoke.
In short, a Neptune kitchen will almost certainly land at the top end homeowners budget. But there are definitely ways to work the price down if you have your hearty set on Neptune but your budget is a little tight. We hope this post has given you a good idea of how a Neptune kitchen will work for you and what the cost might be. Do you desperately want a Neptune kitchen now, too?
