Kitchens Built for Balwyn Homes

Balwyn homes come in a few shapes. Grand period houses on tree-lined streets off Whitehorse Road. Brand-new builds with the kitchen at the centre. Big family homes designed for three generations. We’ve renovated kitchens across all of them, and we design each one to suit the way the house is lived in. Many of the kitchens we build in Balwyn are family hubs. Big islands for homework and prep. Walk-in pantries. Double ovens. Space for everyone to be in the room at once. We design each one around the family, not the floor plan.

A Recent Balwyn Kitchen

Family rebuild, contemporary and practical

A newer build off Whitehorse Road, home to a growing family. The owners wanted a clean contemporary kitchen that doubled as the family hub. We built flat-panel cabinetry in a soft stone colour, a four-metre island with a waterfall end, and a butler’s pantry that hides the prep. Integrated appliances throughout. Ten weeks from brief to handover.

Another Balwyn Project

Period home, modern family

A Federation home in a quieter Balwyn street with a dated galley kitchen. We opened the kitchen to the dining and living rooms, kept the period features at the front of the house, and finished it in a soft Hamptons palette with stone and brushed brass. Walk-in pantry, big island. Nine weeks.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Balwyn is one of our regular areas, along with the wider inner east.

Yes. We work with the builder from the design stage, so the cabinetry, appliances and finishes are planned in from day one. The kitchen goes in once the house is sealed and ready. One team, no finger-pointing between trades.

Mid-range renovations start around $40,000 to $60,000, with custom and high-end kitchens higher. See our cost guide for the full breakdown.

Usually 13 to 23 weeks from brief to handover. The on-site build itself is 3 to 5 weeks.

For a standard renovation, usually not. Parts of Balwyn sit in heritage overlays, so if you’re changing the structure, footprint or anything externally visible, a permit may be needed. We’ll check before the scope is locked in.
