The national average budget for a kitchen renovation is between 5% and 15% of the home value, and approximately 40-50% of that budget is allocated for custom cabinetry.
The basis of the rule is that if you spend less than 5%, there is a good chance you may be devaluing your home. If you spend more than 15%, you are probably overspending, and will not recoup your investment at a reasonable rate.
