Looking to renovate your kitchen?

The cost of kitchen cabinet refacing in Canada in 2026 generally ranges from $2,500 to $8,500, including installation, for an average-sized kitchen. This option can save homeowners approximately 30% to 50% compared to a full cabinet replacement, while still giving the kitchen a fresh, modern look. The final price depends mainly on the material selected, the number of cabinet doors and drawers, the condition of the existing cabinet boxes, and the complexity of the hardware and installation.

By default, we tend to assume that a kitchen sink must be either white or stainless steel. However, there are other options on the market, including other types of metals, but also, other colours, such as black. Over the past few years, black sinks have become increasingly sought after due to their chic and versatile look. 

To make the most of a small condo kitchen in Canada, a mobile or narrow “skinny” island can be a particularly useful way to maximize space. It is important to keep about 36 to 42 inches of clearance around the island to allow for smooth traffic flow, while also respecting the kitchen work triangle: sink, stove and refrigerator. By combining smart storage, appropriate materials and safely planned electrical outlets, even a compact kitchen can become a highly functional and welcoming space.
