A kitchen price, not a headline price
An advertised price rarely includes the worktop, appliances, fitting or trims. We always talk about the installed total, so you can compare like for like.
Kitchens that fit your budget in Mallorca
Cheap kitchens in Palma and across Mallorca
A cheap kitchen doesn't have to be a bad kitchen. We design affordable kitchens in Palma and across Mallorca, trimming the budget where it doesn't show and keeping what makes a kitchen last. Neither all off-the-shelf nor all bespoke — whatever makes sense in your case.
What it means
What counts as a cheap kitchen
A cheap kitchen is the one that comes out at the lowest total cost: units, worktop, appliances, fitting and trims included. That total is almost never the advertised price, which leaves half the kitchen out. At DLG.studio we always work to that figure, deciding with you what goes in now and what can wait. The gap between the two ways of counting is usually the whole budget.

Your budget is the starting point
Tell us the figure you are comfortable with and we design inside it. That beats showing you a kitchen you cannot afford and then stripping things out.
A minimum of quality is not up for negotiation
Some parts wipe out the saving the moment they fail. We don't cut back there, and we explain why before you decide.
Four ways to make a kitchen cheaper without losing quality
A kitchen doesn't have a price, it has decisions. These are the ones that move the budget most, from the biggest saving to the smallest. We'll use whichever fit your project; there is no need to apply them all.
- 01
Keep the layout
The cost you don't see is the building work. Keeping the water, waste and electrical points where they are removes a large slice of the budget before you pick a single unit.
- 02
Pick the right range of units
Not every kitchen needs the same range. We match the level of the units to how you'll use the kitchen and how long you want it to last, putting the money into the decisions that make it last rather than spreading it evenly.
- 03
Find the cheaper equivalent
Pull-out larders, wooden cutlery trays, electric opening, interior lighting. Almost all of them have a version that solves the same thing for a good deal less: a well-organised deep drawer instead of a pull-out larder, a melamine tray instead of solid wood. We look for that equivalent before dropping anything.
- 04
Choose appliances carefully
This is where it is easiest to overspend. We match the spec and the brand to what you will actually use, and if the ones you already have are in good shape they stay. If you'd rather buy them yourself, we give you the sizes and leave the openings ready.
Where not to
Three mistakes when saving on a kitchen
These are the parts that don't get repaired when they fail: they get replaced, and replacing them means dismantling. That's why we keep them separate from the rest of the budget.
The worktop
A laminate with a chipboard core swells beyond repair if water gets in through the sink cut-out, and then the whole piece goes. Porcelain or stone don't have that weak point, and neither does an HPL compact, because it is solid all through with no board inside.
Hinges and runners
Branded hardware can be swapped ten years later for a few euros. Generic hardware forces you to replace the whole door or drawer, because by then there are no spares.
The sink unit
It takes more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Moisture-resistant board, a properly sealed plinth and a leak you can spot in time cost little and save you rebuilding half the kitchen.
No material is bad in itself: each one performs where it belongs and with the care it asks for. A well-sealed, well-kept laminate lasts for years; that same laminate with water sitting in the joint swells within months. Whatever you choose, we tell you how to make it last.
Personal service
Private showroom in Palma: see the materials before deciding
You can compare them in hand: a laminate next to a lacquer, the real difference between two worktops and where the money is worth spending. By appointment, with no obligation and nobody pushing you up a range.

Common questions about affordable kitchens
What we get asked most by people looking for a cheap kitchen in Palma or anywhere in Mallorca.
How much does an affordable kitchen cost in Mallorca?
It comes down to four things, and none of them can be guessed over the phone: how many units you need, whether there is building work or the layout stays, which worktop it takes and which appliances go in. Any figure quoted without seeing the space is an estimate that will move later.
What we can do in the first conversation is tell you honestly whether your budget covers what you have in mind, and what would need adjusting if it doesn't. We'd rather say it at the start than after three visits.
Does a cheap kitchen mean a bad kitchen?
Not if you know where the saving was made. A well-planned affordable kitchen trims reversible things — finishes, accessories, appliance range — and keeps the ones you cannot change later without dismantling: the worktop, the hardware and the boards in the wet zone.
A badly planned cheap kitchen does the opposite: it looks fine for a year and starts causing trouble by the third, when no spares are available for anything.
Wouldn't a big DIY chain work out cheaper?
Sometimes yes, and if that's your case we'll say so. What rarely matches is the catalogue price and the installed total: you have to add the worktop, the fitting, the trims, the adjustment to the real walls and the measuring, which in a Mallorcan home is seldom square.
Our job is that you know that total before starting, not halfway through the installation.
Can I reuse the units I already have?
With the units, almost never. Kitchen modules are screwed to one another, so you cannot free one without moving its neighbour, and twenty-year-old chipboard loses square or falls apart the moment it is released. One unit pulls the next, and what was meant to be a door swap ends up a full replacement.
On top of that, a board that has already been drilled will not hold a screw in the same spot again, and the hinges and runners of that era have no compatible spares. That is why nobody can fix a price before dismantling: what you sign is an estimate, and whatever turns up along the way is on you.
What we do reuse whenever it is sound is anything that isn't part of the unit itself: the worktop, the appliances or the extractor. That saving is real and carries no surprises.
Can I add things later?
Yes, and it is the best way to trim today without giving anything up for good. Interior accessories, cutlery trays, under-unit lighting or a better appliance can all be added afterwards without touching the rest of the kitchen.
What you cannot add later without building work is a change of layout or of worktop. That is why we take those two decisions calmly at the start.
Do you take on tight budgets across Mallorca?
Yes. We work in Palma and across the island, and a project on a tight budget gets the same treatment as any other: visit, measuring, showroom and a clear proposal.
If your space has awkward gaps or difficult sizes, the affordable answer is sometimes to make a piece to measure rather than force the catalogue to fit.
Shall we see which kitchen fits your budget?
Tell us about your space in Palma or anywhere in Mallorca and the figure you are comfortable with. We'll tell you straight what can be done with it.
