Laundry Renovations for Kew Homes
Kew is one of Melbourne’s most established suburbs, known for its grand Victorian and Edwardian residences, substantial interwar homes and leafy streets close to the Yarra. In many older homes, the laundry was placed in a service wing at the rear, well away from the main living areas. These rooms can be generous in size but poorly planned, with outdated plumbing, worn finishes and storage that has never been properly designed.
MW Homes helps Kew homeowners turn these spaces into laundries that match the quality of the rest of the home. We assess the structure and services, then design custom cabinetry, generous folding benches, drying areas and storage for linen and household items. Our team manages every trade through one point of contact. It is the same approach behind our laundry renovations across Melbourne, tailored to Kew homes.
How MW Homes Handles Your Laundry Renovation in Kew
Every laundry renovation in Kew 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 Kew 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

Bringing Service-Wing Laundries in Kew Homes Up to Date
In many of Kew’s period homes, the laundry shares a rear service wing with an old scullery, store room or outdoor toilet. Over the decades, these areas are often patched rather than renovated, leaving uneven floors, tired timber, ageing pipes and limited power. They can also feel disconnected from the kitchen and bedrooms, making everyday washing more of a chore.
MW Homes looks at the whole service area before recommending a design. We can combine small rooms to create a larger laundry and mudroom, relocate the laundry closer to the kitchen or bedrooms, or upgrade the existing room with new services, waterproofing and joinery. Where heritage controls apply, we help you understand the requirements early.
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.
- Combining small rear rooms
- Laundry and mudroom layouts
- Relocation closer to living areas
- Renewed plumbing and electrical

How Much Does a Laundry Renovation Cost in Kew?
Laundry renovation costs in Kew vary with the home and the scope, so any figure is best treated as a general guide. Refreshing cabinetry and finishes in an existing laundry sits at the more modest end, while reworking a rear service wing or relocating the laundry is a larger investment.
Your final figure depends on the room size, structural and services work, and the joinery and finishes you choose.

Laundry and Mudroom Combinations for Busy Kew Households
For an active household in Kew, 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
- Family-friendly layouts for everyday use
