Custom Kitchens in Kew
Touchwood designs and builds custom kitchen joinery in Kew — made-to-measure cabinetry for Federation, Interwar and family houses, not a display kitchen. We work with homeowners, architects and interior designers from first measure through to installation. Kew is one of Melbourne's most architecturally layered suburbs, grand Federation and Edwardian homes, substantial Interwar residences, and a notable seam of mid-century and contemporary architect-designed houses on its leafy, elevated streets and larger family blocks. Cabinetry here spans that whole range. A restored Federation home wants timber detailing, panelled joinery and proportions true to its era, while Kew's many large family houses call for hardworking kitchens, generous butler's pantries, mudrooms and wardrobes built to take daily use. We handcraft bespoke joinery for both, matching timber species, finishes and detailing to the home and the wider design scheme. We work closely with Kew's architects and interior designers, joining projects from concept through to installation.
Cabinetry questions from Kew clients
Do you make custom kitchens in Kew?
Yes. We design and build custom kitchen joinery for Kew homes — Federation, Interwar and family houses — in our Springvale workshop, then install on site. Visits are by appointment; we are not a walk-in kitchen showroom. Kitchens are quoted after a consultation and measure.
Do you work with Kew interior designers and architects?
Yes. Much of our Kew work is delivered alongside architects and interior designers, and we build comfortably to detailed drawings and specifications. We can join at concept stage to advise on materials and construction detail, or come in later to build an approved design.
Can you build cabinetry for a large Kew family home?
Yes. Many Kew homes are generous family houses, and we regularly design hardworking kitchens, butler's pantries, mudrooms, wardrobes and living-room joinery built to take daily use. We plan storage and layout around how the household actually lives, using durable finishes and integrated appliances throughout.
Can you match joinery to a Federation or Interwar Kew home?
Yes. Matching new cabinetry to a period home is central to what we do. For Kew's Federation, Edwardian and Interwar houses we replicate traditional profiles, panelling and timber finishes, and can restore or reproduce existing detailing so new joinery reads as original. We assess the home's period features at the first site visit.
