Designed with Kashrut in Mind

Kosher Kitchens Melbourne

A kosher kitchen is about function, not style. Separate meat and dairy zones, dual sinks, dual cooktops, dual dishwashers, and careful planning so the kitchen works for observant households every day of the week. At Select Kitchens, we design kosher kitchens across Melbourne, shaped around your family’s practice, your home and the style you want. Here’s how we approach it.

What Makes a Kosher Kitchen

A kitchen designed to support kashrut, the Jewish dietary laws.

01

Cabinetry

Clearly identified storage for separate meat and dairy cookware and dishes.

02

Detailing

Timber accents work well for zone identification. A different timber tone for milchig and fleishig prep areas is a subtle way to separate them visually.

03

Benchtops

Separate prep areas for meat and dairy. Hard-wearing engineered stone that handles double the daily use. Consistent across both zones, or a different tone for each.

04

Splashback

A finish can suit the style you choose while the layout supports how your household observes.

05

Finishing touches

Separate sinks, and often separate cooktops, ovens or dishwashers, depending on how your family observes.

06

Hardware

Hardware can be the same across the kitchen, or matched to the meat and dairy zones (brushed nickel for dairy, brushed brass for meat, for example).

What is a Kosher Kitchen?

A kosher kitchen is one built to support kashrut, the Jewish dietary laws. The core principle is strict separation of meat (fleishig) and dairy (milchig): separate prep areas, separate cookware, separate dishes, separate sinks, separate dishwashers, and often separate cooktops or ovens. At Select Kitchens, we design kosher kitchens shaped around how your family observes. For some households that means a full dual kitchen with two of almost everything. For others it’s a careful single kitchen with separate zones and clearly identified storage. Both work, and the design starts with a conversation about how you live. A kosher kitchen can be designed in any style: classic shaker, warm contemporary, clean modern or a traditional Hamptons palette. The function and the style are two separate conversations, and we handle both.

Colour and Materials

A kosher kitchen is defined by its planning. Style is a separate choice on top.

Any palette works. The planning is what makes the kitchen kosher, not the colours.

Timber accents work well for zone identification. A different timber tone for milchig and fleishig prep areas is a subtle way to separate them visually.

Kosher Kitchens, Designed in Melbourne

Our designers work with you to understand how your family observes before we draw a single line. Some households want a full dual kitchen. Others prefer a single-kitchen layout with careful zone separation. Some need Pesach planning built in from the start.

We work with observant families right across Melbourne, with careful attention to kashrut planning as well as how the kitchen looks and feels every day of the week.

A Kosher Kitchen in Any Style

A kosher kitchen is a functional design specialty, not a style. We design kosher kitchens in classic shaker, warm contemporary, clean modern or a traditional Hamptons palette. The function and the style are separate conversations, and we handle both.

We work closely with you from first sketch to final fit-off, so the kitchen turns out exactly as you pictured it. Whether you know precisely what you want or are still gathering ideas, our designers guide you the whole way.

Is a Kosher Kitchen Right for Your Home?

A kosher kitchen is the right design choice for observant households who want a kitchen that supports kashrut without compromises. Even if you’re currently keeping a partial or evolving kosher home, designing with full kashrut in mind from the start gives you flexibility for the future.

Pick the Style, We Handle the Function

A kosher kitchen can be built in any style. These are the three briefs we see most often.

What Does a Kosher Kitchen Cost?

Kosher kitchens sit at the premium end, mostly because of the dual appliances and the extra cabinetry needed for proper separation. A dual-oven, dual-sink, dual-dishwasher kitchen in any style will cost more than a single-function kitchen. See our cost guide for current ranges across Melbourne.

Mid Range

$40,000 to $60,000

New cabinetry, laminate or entry stone benchtop, quality appliances, splashback, professional installation.

Custom / Premium

$60,000 to $90,000

Full custom cabinetry, stone benchtop, island bench, premium appliances, designer finishes.

Architectural

$90,000 to $100,000+

Ceiling-height joinery, natural stone, integrated high-spec appliances, layout or structural changes.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Select Kitchens. They recently installed our new kitchen and laundry, and the result is outstanding. Cosi, Mark and designer Kaz were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. The design and consultation process was thoughtful, practical and well guided, and the installation was handled with real care and attention to detail. We lived in the house throughout the works, and the team kept everything clean, tidy and well managed the whole way through, which made a big difference. The workmanship and overall finish are excellent. Highly recommend Select Kitchens if you’re looking for a professional, reliable team who genuinely care about the end result.

Select Kitchens were amazing to deal with from start to finish. Quote process was smooth and professional and the contract stage was easy. All tradesmen were fantastic and on time. Communication was excellent and any issues were dealt with quickly and efficiently. We are super happy with our kitchen. It's beautiful and we are very proud of it. The stonemasons were incredible and did a first rate job. The stone is vein matched and attention to detail was impeccable. We would highly recommend Select Kitchens.

Cannot fault the team at Select! Planning and creating a new kitchen is one thing, but the helpfulness, patience, skill and communication is another, very important part, of the experience. My new kitchen is stunning and practical. The workmanship is excellent and when there was a question or something was not right, the team were always willing to put things right, and promptly. Nothing was too much trouble. Communication is so important during a process like this and I was always kept up to date with what or who was happening next. I can highly recommend the team at Select. Thank you all Paul, Shane, Wes, Dale, Dave, Dillon, Mark, Chandler and Cooper. Legends! 🥰

elect Kitchens & Bathrooms were absolutely fantastic. We renovated our laundry with them and are so happy with the outcome. Shane, Operations Manager was our main contact and he came onsite prior to the project commencing to fully explain the process. Importantly, he was always available if needed. We found Shane to be professional, polite and very communicative. Dale was our project coordinator and was such a pleasure to deal with. He is an excellent carpenter and was responsible for bringing in other trades as required. Dale's experience with managing the project was clearly evident from start to finish. All of the trades people Select use were courteous, punctual and performed their work to the highest standard. We would not hesitate to recommend Select Kitchens & Bathrooms and we will be re-engaging them to renovate our kitchen soon.
