Kitchen cabinetry can represent a significant portion of a remodeling budget, which makes early pricing information useful.
But comparing cabinet costs is not as simple as comparing a price per box. The size of the kitchen, number of cabinets, storage requirements, appliance configuration, finishes, islands, pantry units, fillers, and other project details can all influence the final investment.
For homeowners considering Mid-Century Modern cabinetry, MidModCabs provides three kitchen package starting points—12 feet, 16 feet, and 20 feet—to make the initial budgeting process more straightforward.
Current MidModCabs Package Starting Points
The current MidModCabs site lists approximate starting ranges on its main page and specific starting prices on the individual package pages.
The 12-foot Mid-Century Modern kitchen package starts at approximately $14,900. The 16-foot package starts at $19,900, while the 20-foot package starts at $24,900.
Those figures are starting points, not fixed prices for every kitchen.
MidModCabs notes that final pricing depends on the complete layout and cabinet selection. That distinction is important when creating a realistic renovation budget.
What Does the 12-Foot Package Include?
The 12-foot configuration is intended for compact kitchens and smaller homes, including apartments, guest houses, ADUs, and smaller Mid-Century Modern homes.
The typical configuration includes a sink base, drawer bases, door base cabinets, wall cabinets, appliance openings, fillers, and end panels as required.
For a smaller kitchen, the challenge is often maximizing useful storage without making the room feel crowded.
A carefully planned compact kitchen can still provide an effective work area, adequate storage, and a strong architectural appearance.
What Does the 16-Foot Package Add?
The 16-foot package is designed around a larger configuration, with additional base cabinets, drawer units, and wall cabinets.
MidModCabs describes this size as a common configuration for mid-century homes and positions it as a way to increase storage and improve workflow while maintaining the clean proportions associated with MCM design.
The package currently starts at $19,900.
For homeowners whose kitchens are too large for a compact package but do not require an extensive 20-foot arrangement, it provides a useful middle starting point.
What Is the 20-Foot Package Designed For?
The 20-foot configuration is intended for larger kitchens and open floor plans.
It allows for extended cabinetry runs, additional drawer storage, more wall cabinetry, and configurations that can accommodate larger residential kitchens. MidModCabs also identifies homes with islands and full-home remodels as potential applications.
The current listed starting price is $24,900.
As the kitchen becomes larger, however, the cabinet count is only one part of the budget.
What Can Increase the Cabinet Investment?
MidModCabs identifies several factors that can affect kitchen investment.
These include pantry cabinets, corner cabinets and Lazy Susans, drawer base cabinets, appliance cabinets for items such as wall ovens and refrigerators, islands or peninsulas, additional wall or base cabinets, custom fillers and finished panels, and extended cabinet runs.
That is why two kitchens with similar linear footage can have different final prices.
One may use a straightforward run of base and wall cabinets. Another may include an island, pantry storage, appliance panels, specialty corner storage, and additional finished panels.
The layout is therefore more important than the linear-foot figure alone.
Materials and Finishes Also Matter
The visual specification can influence the project as well.
MidModCabs offers natural wood selections including walnut, blonde maple, white oak, and red oak, alongside laminate color options.
Homeowners can also choose among different cabinet-front treatments, including ellipse cut-outs, relief cuts, and surface-mounted pulls.
These choices allow a homeowner to establish a very different visual direction while using the same underlying cabinet system.
When budgeting, it is therefore useful to consider both the cabinet quantity and the desired finish direction.
Why the Design Phase Matters to Budgeting
Accurate pricing requires an accurate understanding of the kitchen.
MidModCabs' formal design process begins with measurements, ceiling height, window and door locations, appliance locations, and photographs. The team then develops the layout and works through cabinet placement, finishes, wood direction, color, and storage needs.
This helps turn a broad budget question into a more specific project discussion.
The company also states that the majority of its design fee is credited toward the cabinet order.
For homeowners who are still deciding how the kitchen should be configured, that process can provide a clearer understanding of what the project actually requires.
Construction Quality Is Part of the Value Equation
Price should always be considered alongside what the cabinet system is made from.
MidModCabs uses ¾-inch cabinet-grade plywood, rabbet-and-dado joinery, and quality hardware, including soft-close hinges and drawer slides.
The company also positions its cabinetry as specifically designed around authentic Mid-Century Modern proportions rather than as a generic modern cabinet adapted to an MCM room.
When comparing cabinet prices, those specifications are worth including in the comparison.
A More Useful Way to Build Your Budget
Instead of starting with a single cabinet price and hoping it matches the finished project, begin with the room.
Measure the available wall space. Identify the appliance locations. Decide whether you need an island. Consider pantry storage and the number of drawers you want. Then determine whether a 12-, 16-, or 20-foot package is the closest starting point.
From there, the design can be refined.
MidModCabs' quote process accepts approximate linear footage, layout type, inspiration, and plans, while the formal design process can turn those early details into a more developed kitchen plan.
Start With Your Actual Kitchen
There is no single price that applies to every Mid-Century Modern kitchen.
A compact ADU kitchen is a different project from a 20-foot open-plan kitchen with an island, pantry, appliance cabinetry, and extensive finished panels.
That is why MidModCabs provides multiple package sizes rather than presenting one generic cabinet price.
If you are planning an MCM kitchen renovation, gather your measurements and inspiration and use them to begin a project-specific conversation. With the right information, you can move from a broad cabinetry budget to a clearer understanding of the configuration, materials, and design that your kitchen actually needs.
