This Ascot Vale home was transformed from top to bottom — kitchen, bathrooms, walking robe, new floors, living areas, laundry, office, and more. One team. One vision. One extraordinary result. See what a complete full home renovation in Ascot Vale looks like when craftsmanship meets intelligent design.
A full home renovation in Ascot Vale is one of the most significant investments a homeowner can make — and when it is done right, the return is extraordinary. This project is proof. KJoinery Australia was engaged to carry out a complete property transformation: every room touched, every surface reconsidered, every space made to perform at its absolute best.
From a brand-new kitchen and fully renovated bathrooms to custom wardrobes, fresh flooring throughout, a dedicated home office with glass partition, and a reimagined living space complete with a feature TV wall and fireplace — this full home renovation in Ascot Vale was delivered by one team, under one roof, with zero compromise on quality.
If you are considering a full home renovation in Ascot Vale or the surrounding inner-north Melbourne suburbs, this project shows exactly what becomes possible when you partner with an experienced, dedicated team.

A complete room-by-room breakdown of this total property renovation
Most homeowners planning a full renovation in Ascot Vale face the same exhausting problem: coordinating a dozen different tradespeople, managing conflicting schedules, and watching costs spiral because nothing is properly sequenced. This project was different. KJoinery managed the entire transformation — a single project manager, a single point of contact, and one integrated team who knew exactly how each room connected to the next.
The scope of this full home renovation in Ascot Vale included a complete kitchen replacement, full bathroom renovation, separate WC refurbishment, custom built-in walking robe, new flooring throughout the living areas, fresh painting, a feature TV and fireplace wall, a glass-partitioned home office, custom laundry cabinetry, and a bedroom built-in wardrobe. Every trade was coordinated and sequenced correctly — which is why the result is cohesive, polished, and genuinely impressive.

A complete kitchen replacement designed for how this family actually cooks and entertains

The kitchen in this Ascot Vale full home renovation was stripped back completely and rebuilt from scratch. Every cabinet was manufactured in our own workshop — precision CNC cutting, traditional joinery assembly, and premium soft-close hardware throughout. The layout was redesigned to improve workflow between preparation, cooking, and cleanup, creating a space that genuinely functions as well as it looks.
Custom cabinetry features handle-less profiled doors in a contemporary matte finish, floor-to-ceiling pantry storage, integrated appliance spaces, and deep drawer banks for pots, pans, and cookware. The stone benchtop was templated and installed with invisible joins, and the splashback was chosen to tie the entire colour palette together.
The lighting in this kitchen was designed in layers — under-cabinet LED strips for task work, pendant lighting over the island for ambiance, and recessed ceiling lighting for general illumination. Pull-out pantry drawers, corner carousel solutions, and a dedicated appliance garage keep countertops clear and the space feeling clean and open. This is what a full home renovation in Ascot Vale looks like when the kitchen is treated as the centrepiece of the entire project.
According to realestate.com.au, a professionally renovated kitchen is the single most impactful upgrade for resale value in Melbourne’s inner-north suburbs. This renovation confirms exactly why.

A complete bathroom transformation that elevated the entire home
The bathroom in this Ascot Vale full home renovation was completely demolished and rebuilt — new waterproofing, new tiling from floor to ceiling, new shower screen, new vanity with custom cabinetry, new tapware, and a full lighting upgrade. Nothing from the original bathroom was retained. The transformation in the before and after comparison above speaks for itself.
The custom vanity was built in our workshop to fit the exact dimensions of the space — a floating design with soft-close drawers, integrated basin, and large-format stone top. Rectified tiles were laid with minimal grout lines for a seamless, contemporary finish. The shower was fully waterproofed and tiled floor-to-ceiling with a recessed niche, frameless screen, and premium brushed nickel tapware throughout.


The separate WC was fully refurbished as part of this Ascot Vale full home renovation. New floor and wall tiles, a wall-mounted toilet suite, recessed toilet roll holder, and a floating hand basin with compact vanity — all chosen to make the most of a tight space. A well-finished WC is a detail that buyers and visitors notice immediately, and this one delivers.
Even in the smallest rooms, every decision in this full home renovation in Ascot Vale was made deliberately — materials coordinated, finishes matched, and no corner cut.
Transforming the spaces where this family spends most of their time
New flooring was laid throughout the entire living area as part of this full home renovation in Ascot Vale. The existing floors were removed, the subfloor was prepared and levelled, and premium engineered timber was laid throughout in a continuous run — no breaks, no transitions, no visual interruptions. Fresh painting of all walls and ceilings was completed at the same time, creating a completely renewed interior that feels coherent from room to room.
New flooring combined with fresh paint is often the fastest way to make an older Ascot Vale property feel contemporary and well-maintained — and in this full home renovation, it provided the perfect canvas for everything else in the project.


The living area in this Ascot Vale full home renovation was reconsidered entirely. The space was opened up, the layout improved, and every surface refreshed to create an open-plan living and dining area that flows naturally from the kitchen. Natural light was maximised, proportions were balanced, and the result is a space the family now genuinely loves to spend time in — not just show off.
One of the standout features of this full home renovation in Ascot Vale is the custom-built TV and fireplace wall. A floor-to-ceiling feature unit was designed and built in our workshop — accommodating a wall-mounted television, integrated electric fireplace, concealed cable management, and flanking cabinetry for storage and display. The result is a living room focal point that looks architectural rather than assembled, and adds genuine warmth and character to the space.
According to Choice Australia, integrated living room cabinetry consistently ranks as one of the top features buyers recall after an open inspection. This unit delivers exactly that impact.


Every element of the TV wall unit in this Ascot Vale full home renovation was manufactured in our own workshop. Concealed hinges, soft-close doors, integrated LED lighting in the display niches, and perfectly matched timber grain across every panel. This is the level of detail that distinguishes custom joinery from anything available off the shelf — and it defines the character of this living space completely.
Intelligent storage built into every corner of this Ascot Vale renovation
The master bedroom in this full home renovation in Ascot Vale was given a completely custom walking robe — designed around the homeowners’ actual wardrobe, not a generic floor plan. Full-height cabinetry, long and double hanging sections, pull-out drawers, angled shoe shelving, velvet-lined jewellery storage, and integrated LED lighting throughout. Every centimetre of the space was used with purpose.
The finish was selected to complement the rest of the master suite — a contemporary matte palette with brushed hardware, soft-close mechanisms throughout, and a seamless built-in appearance that makes the room feel complete rather than furnished.


A second bedroom in this Ascot Vale full home renovation also received a completely custom built-in wardrobe — replacing a freestanding unit that was eating floor space and creating visual clutter. The built-in reaches full ceiling height, incorporates hanging, shelving, and drawer sections, and uses the same quality materials and European hardware as every other storage piece in the project.
When every room in a full home renovation in Ascot Vale is treated with the same attention to detail, the result feels intentional and complete — rather than a collection of separate improvements.
The laundry was fully fitted out as part of this Ascot Vale full home renovation — overhead cabinets for storage, a custom benchtop over the machines, integrated hamper drawers, a dedicated hanging rail for drying, and a practical sink with quality tapware. The same premium materials and soft-close hardware used throughout the rest of the project were specified here too. A laundry that actually works is one of the most underrated elements of a truly complete full home renovation.

A dedicated, professional workspace built into the footprint of this Ascot Vale home

One of the most distinctive elements of this full home renovation in Ascot Vale is the dedicated home office created using a custom internal glass partition. A room that previously felt undefined was transformed into a proper workspace — private enough to focus, open enough to maintain the visual flow of the home.
The glass partition uses full-height framed glazing with a solid base panel, creating a professional office environment within the existing floor plan without requiring structural changes. Natural light passes freely through the glazing, making the space feel open rather than enclosed. This is an increasingly requested feature in Ascot Vale renovation projects, where the need for a dedicated work-from-home space has become a genuine priority for many families.
Built-in desk cabinetry, overhead shelving, and cable management complete the office — a fully functional workspace that looks like it was always part of the home’s original design.
Every room. Every detail. One extraordinary transformation.












Study these images carefully — the consistency of quality across every room is what distinguishes a genuine full home renovation in Ascot Vale from a piecemeal series of upgrades. The floor finishes flow from room to room. The joinery palette is coherent. The hardware choices are deliberate. Every element was considered in relation to every other. That is only possible when one team manages the entire project from start to finish.
The 4-step process that delivered this complete Ascot Vale transformation on time and on budget

A full home renovation in Ascot Vale requires a fundamentally different approach to a single-room project. We begin with a comprehensive whole-home consultation — measuring every space, documenting existing conditions, understanding how the household uses every room, and identifying the opportunities that a complete renovation creates. This is where the vision takes shape.
Within a week, you receive full 3D renders of every renovated space, material samples for every surface, and a fully itemised, transparent quote broken down room by room — so you know exactly where every dollar is going.
The biggest risk in any full home renovation in Ascot Vale is poor sequencing. Trades arriving out of order. Materials not ready when needed. One room holding up three others. Our project managers plan every phase of the renovation in precise sequence — demolition first, structural work second, rough-in trades third, waterproofing and tiling fourth, cabinetry and joinery fifth, painting sixth, finishing seventh. Every trade is booked and briefed before work begins. Nothing is left to chance.
Throughout the full home renovation, your dedicated project manager is your single point of contact. You receive regular updates, are notified of each phase transition, and never have to chase a trade or wonder what is happening in your home. We work to keep every room as liveable as possible during the renovation, manage all waste disposal, and ensure daily site cleanup is maintained throughout.
When your full home renovation in Ascot Vale is complete, we conduct a thorough room-by-room walkthrough with you. Every feature is demonstrated, every appliance is commissioned, every warranty document is handed over, and every care instruction is explained clearly. Our commitment does not end at handover — we remain available for any follow-up or aftercare visits for the lifetime of your project.
Real reviews from homeowners who trusted us with a complete full home renovation
The real-world value of renovating your entire home at once — not room by room

Ascot Vale sits in one of Melbourne’s most desirable inner-north corridors. A professionally completed full home renovation in Ascot Vale — covering kitchen, bathroom, flooring, and built-in joinery — can add between $150,000 and $350,000 to the market value of a standard property, depending on starting condition and scope of works.
More importantly, a fully renovated Ascot Vale home sells significantly faster and attracts a fundamentally different buyer pool than a property with a dated interior. The premium paid for move-in-ready condition in inner Melbourne is substantial and well-documented by local agents.
The most compelling reason to undertake a full home renovation in Ascot Vale all at once — rather than room by room over several years — is design coherence. When every room is designed together, the flooring transitions seamlessly, the colour palette is unified, the joinery style is consistent, and the home feels intentionally designed rather than gradually accumulated. This project demonstrates exactly that principle. Every room belongs to the same story.
Living through a renovation is disruptive. Living through five separate renovations over a decade is exhausting. A complete full home renovation in Ascot Vale concentrates the disruption into a single, well-managed period — and when it is over, the home is finished. No more tradespeople, no more sequencing problems, no more rooms that need updating. Done properly, a full home renovation is a one-time event with lifetime results.
A full home renovation in Ascot Vale also presents the opportunity to upgrade insulation, electrical systems, plumbing, ventilation, and appliances simultaneously — producing meaningful reductions in ongoing running costs and a measurably more comfortable, healthy home environment for your family. These functional improvements compound in value alongside the aesthetic transformation.

Honest answers to the most common questions about whole-home renovation projects
A full home renovation in Ascot Vale covering kitchen, bathroom, flooring, painting, and custom joinery typically ranges from $120,000–$250,000+ depending on the scope, size of the property, and quality of finishes selected. We provide a fully itemised, room-by-room quote so you know exactly where every dollar is allocated — before any work begins.
A full home renovation in Ascot Vale of this scope typically takes 10–16 weeks from demolition to handover, depending on the number of rooms and complexity of individual elements. We provide a detailed project timeline before work begins and maintain it through careful trade scheduling and proactive communication throughout.
It is possible but depends on the scope and your personal tolerance for disruption. For complete full home renovations in Ascot Vale, we recommend temporary accommodation for at least the first 4–6 weeks while the most disruptive work — demolition, rough-in trades, and waterproofing — is completed. We discuss this honestly during consultation so you can plan accordingly.
Internal renovations that do not alter the building’s structural envelope or external appearance generally do not require a planning permit in Ascot Vale. However, all electrical, plumbing, and waterproofing work requires building permits and must be completed by licensed tradespeople. We assess permit requirements during the design phase and manage all documentation and approvals on your behalf.
KJoinery manages everything. A full home renovation in Ascot Vale involves electricians, plumbers, waterproofers, tilers, flooring installers, painters, cabinetmakers, and more.

The design directions shaping complete home renovations in Melbourne’s inner north this year
Whole-Home Material Palettes: The most successful full home renovations in Ascot Vale in 2025 are defined by a disciplined, consistent material palette — two or three tones repeated across every room rather than each space treated independently. This is the single biggest shift in how interior renovation is being approached by design-led homeowners.
Home Office Integration: The glass-partitioned home office in this project reflects a genuine shift in how Ascot Vale homeowners are using their floor plans. A proper, purpose-built workspace — private but visually open — has become a standard expectation in full home renovation briefs across inner Melbourne.
Feature Fireplaces and TV Walls: Custom-built TV and fireplace walls are the centrepiece joinery request in 2025 full home renovation projects. The combination of warmth, function, and visual drama is unmatched by any furniture alternative.
Seamless Floor Transitions: Continuous flooring laid throughout the entire home — without material changes at doorways — is one of the defining characteristics of a truly complete full home renovation. It makes properties feel larger, more cohesive, and significantly more premium.
Laundry Elevation: The laundry is finally being treated as a room that deserves design attention in full home renovation projects. Custom cabinetry, quality benchtops, and considered storage solutions in the laundry add function, beauty, and real resale value.
