Basic 10x10 Kitchen Layout

What is Basic Kitchen Pricing?
What is a 10 x 10 Kitchen?

 

Basic Kitchen Pricing, Also Called 10x10 Kitchen Pricing, is the Most Common and Accurate Way to Compare Cabinet Styles and Prices. Use the 10x10 Price to Determine if the Average Price of a Cabinet Style is Higher or Lower than Other Styles.

​

The 10x10 Kitchen Concept is Based on a Small Kitchen with 20 Linear Feet of Wall Space and Includes Only the Most Basic Cabinet Options for Comparison Purposes:

​

  • ​42" Blind Base Cabinet

  • 36" Sink Base Cabinet

  • 09" Base Cabinet

  • 30" Base Cabinet

  • 09"W x 30"H Wall Cabinet

  • 15"W x 30"H Wall Cabinet

  • 2 - 30"W x 30"H Wall Cabinets

  • 30"W x 12"H Wall Cabinet

  • 36"W x 12"H Wall Cabinet

  • 3" Base Filler

  • 2 - 3"W x 30"H Wall Fillers

  • Dishwasher Panel With 3" Return

 

Most Kitchens Will Differ and Include Additional Components Such as Trim, Crown Molding, or Islands. This Pricing Method is Meant Only to Compare Cabinet Styles 'Apples to Apples' — to See Which Costs More or Less.

​

I Have a 10x10 Kitchen — Will My Cabinets Cost the Same as the 10x10 Price?

No, Your Kitchen Will Likely Cost More. The Standard 10x10 Kitchen Price is Based on a Very Limited, Basic Layout Meant Only for Comparison Purposes.

 

Here’s What it Includes (And What it Leaves Out):

​

  • Only the Shortest 30" Wall Cabinets and the Most Basic Cabinet Options

  • No Island, Pantry, or Specialty Cabinets

  • Missing Key Components like Toe Kick, Scribe Molding, and Trim

  • No Upgrades such as Taller Wall Cabinets, Crown Molding, or Extra Drawers

 

Unless Your Kitchen Happens to Match this Exact Setup with No Changes, Your Cost will be Higher. The 10x10 Price is Simply a Reference to Compare, Not a Reflection of What Most Kitchens Cost.

$6,000 - 10x10 Kitchen Price = $300 / Linear Ft.

$6,500 - 10x10 Kitchen Price = $325 / Linear Ft.

​

Use This as a Starting Point to Compare and Budget for Your Kitchen Cabinets.

How Do I Estimate Cabinet Cost by Linear Foot​

 

  1. Measure Your Wall Space that Will Have Cabinets - Don't Forget Islands

  2. Calculate the Linear Foot Price of Your Chosen Cabinet Style

  3. Multiply Your Total Feet by the Price Per Foot to Get a Basic Estimate

  4. Request a Free Kitchen Design or Quote for an Exact Price

 

​Example

Frank and Janet Selected White Shaker Cabinets with a 10x10 Kitchen Price of $3,000. Their Kitchen is Larger Than a Standard 10x10 - They Have 27 Linear Feet of Wall Space for Both Uppers and Lowers.

​

Quick Formula

A 10x10 Kitchen = 20 Linear Feet

Example: $3,000 ÷ 20 = $150 per Foot

​

Frank and Janet's Example Kitchen:

27 linear feet × $150 per ft. = $4,050 plus tax, if applicable

 

Important Note

10x10 Pricing is an Industry Standard, but Not Every Company Calculates Linear Pricing the Same Way.  We Recommend Using it for Early Stage Budgeting and General Price Comparisons Only — For True Accuracy, Start a Free Design Using Your Actual Measurements.

Pro Tips to Consider when Comparing 10x10 Kitchen Prices​
 
With So Many Cabinet Styles, Types, and Sizes, There’s No Simple Answer for Pricing. You Do Need to Crunch the Numbers to Know the Real Cost — but Hold Off for Now. There are a Few Important Things to Understand About 10x10 Kitchen Pricing Before You Start.
​

  • Some Manufacturers Use a Different Basic Kitchen Layout

  • Others Display a Lower '10 Foot Kitchen' Price - Not a True 10x10 Kitchen

  • Shipping Costs Vary - Some 10x10 Prices Include Shipping - Others Do Not — Always Check when Comparing Prices

  • Applies to RTA and Assembled Cabinets -  10x10 Pricing is Used for Either Type, so Be Sure You’re Comparing the Same Format​

​

Kitchen Cabinet Estimate

Not All Retailers are Using the Same Basic Kitchen Cabinet Item List!

What? Really? Don’t worry! Often, This Happens Because a Manufacturer Doesn’t Have a Cabinet in the Exact Size Listed. They May Substitute a Different Cabinet to Fit the Space and Create the Closest Possible Version of the 10x10 Kitchen. It’s Usually Not a Deal Breaker, but It’s Something to Keep in Mind when Comparing Prices.

 

 


Shipping Costs May Be Included in the 10x10 Kitchen Price

Shipping can be Confusing When Estimating Cabinet Costs. Some Styles Include Shipping, Some Require a Minimum Order, and Others Don't Include it At All. When Comparing 10x10 Pricing, Consider the Following:

​

  • Order Size - Especially for Small Orders or Single Cabinets

  • Free Shipping Availability

  • Minimum Purchase Requirements

  • Delivery Time​

 

 


10x10 Kitchen Pricing Is Used For RTA & Assembled Cabinets

When Comparing Basic Kitchen Pricing, Make Sure You Know Which Pricing You Are Comparing - RTA vs. Assembled Pricing. With Either Option, Our Prefinished Cabinets are High-Quality and Backed by Our Limited Lifetime Warranty.

​

  • Save Money by Assembling RTA Cabinets Yourself

  • Save Time with Assembled Cabinets

  • Quality is Consistent Across Both Options​​​

​

​

​

Shipping Space Matters — RTA Cabinets Are a Smart Choice

When Comparing Cabinet Options, It's Important to Consider Shipping Space.

​

  • RTA Cabinets: Ship Flat-Packed with a Smaller Footprint that Takes Up Less Space on a Truck - Shipping Costs Factored In When You Meet the Minimum Order

  • Assembled Cabinets: Require Multiple Pallets and More Truck Space - Shipping Costs More

 

If You Won't Install Right Away, RTA Cabinets Take Up Less Space and are Easier to Store. Consider this Greener Cabinet Option for Your Project.​​
