Laundry Renovations for St Kilda Homes
St Kilda is one of Melbourne’s most vibrant bayside suburbs, with grand Victorian mansions converted into flats, interwar and art deco apartment blocks, Edwardian homes and modern apartments within walking distance of the beach. In many of these homes, the laundry is little more than a washing machine squeezed into a bathroom, kitchen or cupboard, with no bench space, little storage and nowhere to dry clothes.
MW Homes designs St Kilda laundries that make compact living easier. We assess plumbing, drainage, power and ventilation, then plan concealed European laundries, stacked appliances, slim tubs and tall storage that keep everything tidy and out of sight. Our team manages every trade through one point of contact. It is the same approach behind our laundry renovations across Melbourne, tailored to St Kilda homes.
How MW Homes Handles Your Laundry Renovation in St Kilda
Every laundry renovation in St Kilda 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 St Kilda 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 St Kilda Can Include
Every laundry renovation is tailored to the space available and the way your household works. Whether you are updating a generous laundry room or creating a concealed European laundry in a St Kilda apartment, these are some of the inclusions we can design and install.
Custom cabinetry – Floor-to-ceiling cupboards, overhead cabinets and tall broom storage for detergents, linen, appliances and bulky items.
Benchtops and tubs – Continuous benchtops for sorting and folding, with deep, slim or integrated tubs to suit the room.
Appliance layouts – Stacked or side-by-side washers and dryers, with correctly placed taps, drainage and power points.

Rethinking Combined Laundries in St Kilda Flats and Apartments
In St Kilda’s older flats and converted mansions, washing machines are often squeezed into small bathrooms or kitchens, where they take up valuable space, add moisture and noise, and leave little room for storage. Plumbing in these buildings can be decades old, ventilation is often poor, and any changes to shared services or walls typically need owners corporation approval.
MW Homes helps you find a better arrangement. We may create a concealed European laundry in a hallway or cupboard, build a laundry cabinet with doors into a reworked bathroom, or design stacked appliances behind kitchen joinery. Each option includes upgraded plumbing, waterproofing to the relevant standards and improved ventilation, and we prepare the information your owners corporation needs.
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.
- Concealed European laundries
- Laundry cabinets in bathrooms
- Stacked appliances in joinery
- Upgraded plumbing and ventilation
- Owners corporation coordination
How Much Does a Laundry Renovation Cost in St Kilda?
Laundry renovation costs in St Kilda vary with the property and scope, so any figure is best treated as a general guide. Fitting new cabinetry and appliances into an existing laundry space sits at the more modest end, while creating a new European laundry or relocating plumbing in an apartment building 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 St Kilda Households
For an active household in St Kilda, 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.
- Hooks and cubbies for bags and coats
- Built-in seating and shoe storage
- Deep tubs for soaking and rinsing
- Storage for sports equipment and pet supplies
- Hard-wearing and easy-clean finishes
