Laundry Renovations for Hawthorn East Homes
Hawthorn East is home to MW Homes, and we know its streets well. The suburb features a mix of interwar brick homes, Edwardian and Victorian residences, post-war houses and apartment blocks, stretching from the Auburn Road village to Camberwell Junction. Laundries here range from generous rear rooms in period homes to tiny cupboards in flats, and many have not been updated in decades.
MW Homes designs Hawthorn East laundries that suit each type of home. We assess plumbing, drainage, power and ventilation, then plan cabinetry, appliance positions and storage that make household routines simpler. Being local means we can respond quickly and keep a close eye on your project. It is the same approach behind our laundry renovations across Melbourne, tailored to the homes of our own suburb.
How MW Homes Handles Your Laundry Renovation in Hawthorn East
Every laundry renovation in Hawthorn East starts with an in-home consultation. We measure the room, inspect the existing plumbing, drainage and ventilation, and talk through what you need to store, from detergents and linen to vacuums, ironing boards and household supplies.
Our team then plans a layout and storage design around those essentials, which might include floor-to-ceiling cabinets, pull-out hampers, broom cupboards, overhead storage and hanging rails. Once your appliances, cabinetry and finishes are confirmed, you receive a detailed quotation and a confirmed timeframe before any work begins.
During the build, we coordinate demolition, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, tiling, cabinetry and installation in the correct order. You have one point of contact throughout, and we finish with a walkthrough and clean so your new laundry is ready to use from day one.

Spend Less Time Moving Between Tasks
An effective laundry layout for your home in Hawthorn East should make each task feel simple and intuitive. We consider how you move between the washing machine, dryer, tub, storage, drying area, and folding bench to create a more efficient workflow.
Depending on the room, your appliances may work best stacked vertically or positioned side by side beneath a continuous benchtop. Stacking can free up valuable floor and bench space, while a side-by-side configuration can provide a large surface for sorting and folding.
We also account for appliance doors, ventilation, plumbing connections, power points, and service access. These practical details help ensure that your laundry remains safe, comfortable, and convenient to use.
- Stacked and side-by-side appliance layouts
- Continuous benchtops for sorting and folding
- Convenient tap and power-point placement
- Appropriate ventilation and service access
- Clear space for opening appliance doors
- Layouts designed around your routine
What Your Laundry Renovation in Hawthorn East Can Include

Updating Interwar and Apartment Laundries in Hawthorn East
Many Hawthorn East interwar homes have their laundry in a rear room or enclosed porch, with original terrazzo or concrete troughs, tired tiling, limited power and no proper waterproofing. The suburb’s older apartment blocks present a different challenge, with laundries often shared or squeezed into a bathroom, and building rules that govern plumbing changes, noise and access.
MW Homes tailors its approach to your property. In houses, we can renew plumbing and drainage, waterproof the room to the relevant standards, insulate walls and design custom joinery. In apartments, we design compact European laundries with stacked appliances, improve ventilation, and coordinate with your owners corporation where needed.
Licensed plumbers and electricians complete their work to the relevant standards, and your detailed quotation sets out every inclusion, with one accountable team managing each stage.
- Renewed plumbing and drainage
- Waterproofing to current standards
- Compact European laundries for apartments
- Improved ventilation
- Owners corporation coordination
How Much Does a Laundry Renovation Cost in Hawthorn East?
Laundry renovation costs in Hawthorn East vary with the type of home and scope of work, so any figure is best treated as a general guide. Updating cabinetry and finishes in an existing laundry sits at the more modest end, while relocating plumbing, rebuilding an old rear room or creating a new apartment laundry is a larger investment.
Your final cost depends on the space, services work and your joinery and finish choices.

Laundry and Mudroom Combinations for Busy Hawthorn East Households
For an active household in Hawthorn East, the laundry often needs to handle much more than washing. School bags, sports gear, pet supplies, coats, and cleaning products can quickly take over the room without suitable storage.
Combining the laundry with a mudroom can create a convenient transition between outdoor and indoor spaces. Built-in seating, hooks, cubbies, shoe storage, and hard-wearing surfaces give family members a dedicated place to leave everyday belongings.
We can also include a deep tub for soaking clothes, washing pets, or cleaning equipment. Durable flooring and easy-clean materials help the space stand up to heavy daily use while remaining welcoming and organised.
