Renovating apartments and terraces in inner Sydney
Inner city living means making every square metre count. Whether it's a one bedroom apartment in Pyrmont, a warehouse conversion in Surry Hills or a terrace in Redfern or Glebe, kitchens and bathrooms here need smart design and a team that knows how to work in tight spaces and busy buildings.
Topline Kitchens & Bathrooms renovates kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and joinery across the Sydney CBD and inner city. We take care of design, approvals paperwork, trades and project management, all for a fixed price.
Compact kitchens that feel bigger
Most apartment kitchens are part of the living room, so they need to look calm and built in. We often recommend:
- Handleless cabinetry and integrated appliances for a seamless look.
- Floor to ceiling storage to use every bit of wall space.
- Slim benchtops in porcelain or stone with matching splashbacks.
- Clever corner and pull out storage so nothing is wasted.
- Good lighting, including under cabinet strip lighting.
See our kitchen renovations in Sydney for more on how we plan kitchens.
Apartment bathrooms done properly
Waterproofing matters even more when there's a neighbour living below you. Every apartment bathroom we renovate is waterproofed by licensed trades to the Australian Standard, with a certificate at the end. To make small bathrooms feel bigger, we use wall hung vanities, recessed niches, frameless screens and large format tiles. Our small bathroom ideas has plenty more.

European laundries
No laundry? No problem. A European laundry tucked into a hallway or kitchen cupboard gives you a washer, dryer and sink behind closed doors. It's one of the most popular upgrades in inner city apartments. Read about laundry renovations and our laundry ideas.
Strata, access and neighbours
Renovating in an apartment building needs planning:
- Strata approval before work starts, usually for bathrooms and often for kitchens.
- Building rules covering work hours, noise, lift use and common area protection.
- Loading docks and parking, which can be limited in the CBD.
- Neighbours, who appreciate a team that keeps things tidy and quiet.
We help prepare the information owners corporations typically ask for, such as scope of works, insurances and waterproofing details.
