Kitchens for Melbourne homes

Many Melbourne renovations start at the back of the house. Victorian and Edwardian terraces and weatherboards in Fitzroy, Brunswick and Northcote often get a new kitchen as part of a rear extension, and it has to link the period front of the home with the modern living space. Shaker and classic profiled doors suit that transition. Slim Shaker and flat veneers suit the new part.

In the eastern and south-eastern suburbs, brick-veneer homes from the 1960s–80s usually need a new layout rather than a like-for-like swap. In new estates, the aim is often an island and a butler's pantry.

Before you start in Victoria

Electrical, plumbing and gas connections must be done by licensed tradespeople. Your local partner coordinates them, or works alongside your own trades.

Homes built before 1990 may contain asbestos, for example in fibro sheeting, old vinyl flooring and splashback backing boards. Have it checked before the old kitchen comes out.
