Kitchen Renovation
Kitchen replacement in Palmyra homes, with the layout kept where it works and changed where it does not.
Between Melville and Fremantle
Palmyra sits between Melville and Fremantle and has a similar housing pattern to both: post-war brick and tile, family homes on reasonable blocks, and a lot of original kitchens that have never been replaced.
The blocks are big enough that people extend rather than move, so the kitchen often ends up internal once a family room is added at the back.
The Usual Jobs
Most of the work here is straightforward: a kitchen that has reached the end of its life, in a house the owners intend to keep. The decisions are about layout and storage rather than structure.
- Original galley kitchens opened to the dining room
- Benchtops replaced and the splashback brought up to date
- Hybrid flooring through the kitchen and the living area behind it
- Painting the rooms around the kitchen once the cabinets are in
Living Through It
With families staying in the house during the work, the temporary kitchen setup matters. A bench in the laundry, the fridge moved to the family room, and a clear plan for the days without a sink make the difference between a tolerable renovation and a difficult one.
What We Do in Palmyra
Kitchen Cabinets
New cabinetry and storage for post-war kitchens, including the pantry that was never quite big enough.

Questions we get in Palmyra
Can we stay in the house during the renovation?
Most families do. We set up a temporary kitchen in the laundry or family room and tell you which days the water or power will be off so you can plan around them.
Do you handle the painting as well?
Yes. Painting the walls, ceilings and trims after the cabinetry goes in is usually the cheapest way to make the new kitchen look like it belongs in the house.
How do you match a post-war kitchen?
By keeping the proportions and the window positions, and choosing door profiles and trims that suit the age of the house rather than a current catalogue.
