Kitchen Renovation in Tenerife: From Planning to Completion
By TruTrade Team
Planning Your Dream Kitchen in Tenerife
The kitchen is the heart of any home, and in Tenerife — where entertaining and outdoor living are part of daily life — a well-designed kitchen is essential. Whether you're updating a holiday apartment or renovating your permanent home, here's what you need to know.
Budget Breakdown
Economy (€3,000-6,000): Reface cabinets, new countertops, updated appliances, fresh paint.
Mid-range (€6,000-12,000): New cabinets, stone countertops, quality appliances, new flooring, updated lighting.
Premium (€12,000-25,000+): Custom cabinetry, premium appliances, island unit, complete redesign with structural changes.
Where to Buy Materials
IKEA (Tenerife Sur) offers affordable kitchen packages with good quality. Delivery and installation available.

Key Considerations for Tenerife
Ventilation: Tenerife's warm climate means good kitchen ventilation is essential. Invest in a quality extractor hood.
Pest prevention: Seal all gaps and choose materials that don't attract cockroaches — a common issue in Canarian properties.
Water quality: Tenerife's hard water can damage appliances. Consider installing a water softener or filter system.
Gas vs Electric: Many Tenerife properties use butane gas for cooking. If switching to electric or induction, you may need an electrical upgrade.
Finding the Right Team
A kitchen renovation typically involves multiple trades: carpenter, plumber, electrician, tiler, and painter. TruTrade helps you find and coordinate all the professionals you need, with reviews and ratings to guide your choices.
