We did our research which company to go with for our bathroom renovation and we couldn't be happier with the final result. Mark and his team were very easy to work with, communication was fantastic and afterwards when some final touches were required they were more than happy to change things. Highly recommend and plan to renovate our kitchen in the near future with MW homes.

Congratulations 🎊 to Mark, Chris, Victoria and the team… you have done it again 👏🏻 We loved our bathroom you renovated 3 years ago, and now delighted with the new kitchen Reno. Great experience from the beginning to the end, thank you all for our amazing new kitchen. 👍
This is the second renovation undertaken by MW Homes. Mark, Victoria, Chris and the team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Victoria and Mark were so helpful providing inspiration and advice about, design, layout and colours. The building team were respectful with great communications and kept me up to date with weekly progress. The quality of the finished bathrooms, laundry and kitchen were exceptional.
I am very fortunate to have my second home renovated by MW homes. Again they did an amazing job very professional and punctuate. I highly recommend MW homes especially if you are looking to have peace of mind. Mark is a true gentleman and Chris is the best. Don't forget to get extra help from Joe who can help you with everything. Joe is amazing. Thank you MW homes
I am really pleased with all the work Chris, his carpenters and the other trades people did on my bathroom renovation. The result is great and everything was done on time and with little disruption to the rest of the house. I certainly recommend them to anyone considering renovations.
MW Homes did a fantastic job renovating our bathrooms and laundry, plus kitchen upgrades. They were organised and responsive delivering the project on time and to a high quality. The team managed the project end-to-end and connected us with suppliers and other services as needed - all providing exceptional and friendly service. Thanks to Mark, Victoria, Chris, Arvy, Joe and the MW team!
Mark and team absolutely lived up to my high expectations after reading all of their reviews. We engaged them to completely renovate our apartment in South Yarra. Two bathrooms and a kitchen. They communicated incredibly well through the entire project and we felt like we always knew exactly what was happening. The quality of tiling, painting, electrical work etc was outstanding. We are incredibly happy with the outcome. And it was finished earlier than projected. Highly recommend!
Once again MW Homes did a magnificent job. Very prompt response to my enquiry, polite and professional tradesman, and a beautiful end result. I will always highly recommend M W Homes for all renovation works.
Incredibly happy with MW Homes and their work on our bathroom and bedroom renovation - we were so impressed by their professionalism, communication, attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond. In particular, if you're looking for a builder who will really guide and support you throughout the whole process, provide amazing site management, and communicate regularly, then this is the team you want.
I engaged MW Homes for a comprehensive renovation of my Richmond property, covering bathroom, kitchen, and laundry. Mark and his team coordinated multiple trades and external suppliers throughout, keeping me informed at every step and delivering on time. I have no hesitation recommending MW Homes for a project of this scale.
Mark, Chris, Victoria and the MW Homes Team transformed our apartment kitchen with both professionalism and precision! They guided us through the renovation, answering our questions with patience and going the extra mile to make sure we were 100% happy with our new kitchen. They were always contactable by both email and phone, and we really appreciated the team's opinions and never felt pressured to make decisions. Everything was completed on time an the finishings are of a high standard. Most of all, they are lovely humans with a customer-first mindset, which means we absolutely recommend them if you're reading this and considering a renovation. Thanks Mark, Chris, Victoria and team for taking such good care of our job! From Kane and Ben.
Just want to say a big thank you to Mark and his broader team at MW Homes. Everyone has done a fantastic job and I was really happy with all aspects from our first engagement to renovation commencement, service delivery, and project completion. All your staff and all your tradie teams have been fantastic. Thanks too for all your additional assistance and recommendations and referrals along the way. As for the work done, it was a full renovation of a unit in East Melbourne. From demolition to the design and finishes, project management, quality of workmanship and all staff, clear communication, the referral to other services free of charge (i.e. property stylists, flooring, etc) and timely completion was greatly appreciated (saved me time and stress). I highly recommend MW Homes and would not hesitate to use Mark and his team again.
MW Homes have just done a full renovation of our horrible ancient rotting bathroom and it is fabulous. Every step of the process from the first quote to the final payment has been smooth and well co-ordinated. Comms were great and we always knew exactly who was coming and when. They finished a week under the four week timeline and the new bathroom is perfect. Worth every cent.
We were a bit skeptical about perfect 5 star reviews, but now we're happy customers, too. There was much more involved in renovating our 45 year old bathroom than I realised. Mark, Chris, and all the tradies were excellent. There were a couple of hiccups, probably to be expected in such an old house, but they were quickly solved and the end result is great. Very happy!
Laundry Renovations Across Melbourne
Laundry renovations are one of the most quietly popular services MW Homes provides across Melbourne because, while it's easy to overlook the laundry when you're thinking about home improvements, a well-designed, functional laundry can make a genuine difference to your everyday routine.
Often tucked away and rarely given much design attention when a home is first built, laundries frequently end up as an afterthought, cramped into whatever leftover space was available. Over time, this can mean awkward layouts, insufficient storage and a room that makes a necessary daily chore more frustrating than it needs to be.
At MW Homes, we believe every space in your home deserves the same level of design consideration and quality craftsmanship, no matter how small or seemingly unglamorous. A laundry might not be the room you show off to guests, but it's one you likely use multiple times a week, and a poorly functioning laundry can create ongoing friction in an otherwise well-run household. With more than 30 years of combined experience across design, carpentry and project management, our team approaches laundry renovations with the same care and attention to detail that we bring to any kitchen or bathroom project.
The Case for Investing in Your Laundry
Many homeowners come to a laundry renovation as a secondary consideration, often planning it alongside a bathroom or kitchen project when plumbing work is already underway elsewhere in the home. This can be a smart approach, since sharing trade visits across adjoining wet areas often improves efficiency and can reduce overall costs. However, plenty of our clients also choose to renovate their laundry as a standalone project once they realise just how much a poorly functioning space is affecting their daily routine.
Common frustrations we hear from clients include insufficient bench space for folding and sorting, a lack of storage for cleaning supplies and linen, awkward access to washing machines and dryers, and poor ventilation that leaves the room feeling damp or musty. Each of these issues has a practical design solution, and addressing them can transform a chore-filled space into one that makes household management easier.
A well-planned laundry renovation typically considers the full workflow of doing laundry, from sorting and washing through to drying, folding and storing. Thinking through this sequence carefully allows our design team to recommend a layout that minimises unnecessary movement and maximises available space, even within a compact footprint.
Award Winning Renovations




Designing a Laundry That Works Harder For You
Because laundries are often smaller than kitchens or bathrooms, every centimetre of space needs to be used thoughtfully. Our design team specialises in maximising functionality within tight footprints, drawing on creative storage solutions and space-efficient layouts that we've refined across hundreds of projects in Melbourne homes.
Built-in cabinetry above and around washing machines and dryers can add valuable storage without extending the room's footprint, while pull-out hampers and dedicated sorting stations can streamline the entire laundry process. Bench space for folding is often underestimated in original laundry designs, and adding even a modest amount can make a noticeable difference to how usable the space feels day to day.
Ventilation and moisture management deserve particular attention in laundry design, given the amount of water and humidity involved in washing and drying clothes. Proper ventilation helps prevent mould and mildew issues over time, protecting both the room itself and your family's health. Our team ensures that your laundry renovation incorporates appropriate ventilation solutions, whether that's through improved window placement, exhaust fans or ducted systems, depending on your specific layout and budget.
We also help clients think through practical additions like external access points for pet-washing stations, dedicated space for ironing, or utility sinks for handling stained garments and delicate items that need special care. These small additions, planned thoughtfully from the outset, can add significant everyday value to the finished space.
Materials Built to Withstand Daily Wear
Laundries face some of the toughest conditions of any room in the home, with constant exposure to moisture, detergents and daily wear and tear. Choosing durable, easy-to-clean materials is essential to ensuring your renovated laundry continues to look and perform well for years to come.
Our team helps you select benchtops, cabinetry finishes and flooring that can handle this demanding environment without sacrificing style. Water-resistant cabinetry materials, durable stone or laminate benchtops, and practical, slip-resistant flooring options all play a role in creating a laundry that's as hard-wearing as it is attractive. We draw on our extensive supplier network to present options that suit both your aesthetic preferences and the practical demands of the space.
A Trade Managed Process From Start to Finish
Even a modest laundry renovation typically involves multiple trades, including plumbers for water and drainage connections, electricians for appliance wiring and lighting, carpenters for cabinetry, and tilers for flooring and splashback work. Coordinating these trades efficiently is essential to keeping a project on schedule and within budget.
As a fully project-managed renovation company, MW Homes takes care of this coordination on your behalf, ensuring each trade arrives at the right time and completes their work to a consistent standard. Being Registered Building Practitioners also means your renovation is backed by proper licensing and insurance, giving you confidence that even a smaller-scale project like a laundry renovation receives the same professional oversight as any larger renovation.

Learn MoreWhy MW Homes Is Trusted With Every Room In The House
MW Homes has built a five-star reputation across more than 200 reviews from Melbourne homeowners, earned through consistent quality and genuine care across projects of every size. We understand that a laundry renovation might represent a smaller investment than a full kitchen or bathroom overhaul, but that doesn't mean it deserves any less attention to detail or craftsmanship.
As a family-owned business, we treat every project, big or small, with the same commitment to clear communication, transparent pricing and quality workmanship. Many of our laundry renovation clients come to us after having a kitchen or bathroom completed by our team, having experienced firsthand the difference that proper project management and skilled trades can make to a renovation.
If your laundry has become a source of daily frustration rather than a helpful, functional space, it might be time to consider what a thoughtful renovation could achieve. Get in touch with MW Homes today to book your in-home consultation, and let's talk about how our laundry renovations can transform this often-overlooked room into one that supports your household's daily routine.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before starting your renovation with MW Homes.
Is it worth renovating a laundry on its own, or should I combine it with another project?
Both approaches can work well depending on your circumstances and priorities. Combining a laundry renovation with an adjoining bathroom or kitchen project can be cost-effective, since trades like plumbers and electricians are often already on site and can address multiple spaces in a single visit.
However, if your laundry has become a genuine daily frustration and you're not planning other renovations in the near future, there's no need to wait. A standalone laundry renovation is a completely valid project on its own, and our team can scope and manage it just as thoroughly as any larger combined renovation.
How do you deal with a laundry that has very limited space to work with?
Compact laundries actually benefit enormously from thoughtful design, since every decision has a bigger impact when space is limited. We often recommend stacking washers and dryers vertically rather than side by side, incorporating built in cabinetry that uses vertical wall space efficiently, and choosing slimline benchtops or fold down bench solutions that only take up space when needed.
During your consultation, our design team will assess your specific room dimensions and suggest layout options that maximise functionality without requiring you to compromise on the essentials.
What ventilation solutions do you recommend for laundries prone to moisture issues?
The right ventilation solution depends on your laundry's location within the home and its existing access to natural airflow. For laundries with an external wall, we often recommend exhaust fans or improved window placement to allow moisture to escape efficiently.
For internal laundries without direct outside access, ducted extraction systems can be an effective solution to prevent humidity buildup. We'll assess your specific situation during the consultation and recommend a solution that addresses moisture concerns without adding unnecessary cost or complexity to the renovation.
Can you add a dedicated pet-washing station to my laundry renovation?
Yes, this is a popular addition for many of our clients, particularly households with dogs that need regular washing. A dedicated pet-washing station typically includes a low-set sink or basin with a handheld sprayer, durable and slip-resistant flooring, and easy access from outside if possible.
We can incorporate this feature into your overall laundry design, ensuring it complements the rest of the space while providing a genuinely useful, dedicated area for pet care that keeps mess contained and easy to clean up.
How long does a typical laundry renovation take to complete?
Laundry renovations are generally quicker to complete than full kitchen or bathroom projects, given their smaller scale, though the exact timeline depends on the extent of plumbing, electrical and structural work involved. A straightforward laundry refresh might take one to two weeks, while a more involved renovation with layout changes or extended plumbing work could take three to four weeks.
Our project managers will provide a realistic timeline specific to your renovation during the consultation, and we'll keep you updated throughout the process so you always know what to expect.
