Before and after: Featured in Style at Home (Belynda Chen Interiors)

June 23, 2026 in Interiors, Featured

How do you reconfigure your bathroom with an angled entrance? Belynda Chen Interiors took a bit of space from the adjacent room, which expanded the primary bathroom. While this had a big impact on the bathroom, the reduced space in the hallway wasn’t that noticeable.

She replaced the integrated tub with a freestanding one, added an entrance and relocated the existing door for better access, added more storage and increased the size of the shower.

The result? Style at Home featured this project in their latest edition of Before & After.

Double vanity and floor to ceiling storage on the left of a bathroom. A large shower encased in glass on the right. The doorway in between.
Double vanity with stone countertop, gold faucets and black cabinet hardware. and

Kitchen + dining area refresh (Belynda Chen Interiors

June 01, 2026 in Interiors

Belynda Chen Interiors took this kitchen and dining area and redesigned them to create better flow and use of the space.

She changed the orientation of the island and moved the dining area to the window so that more storage could be added along the main kitchen wall. She also removed a small wall to open up the new dining space and added a banquette for more seating.

A portrait of the husband and wife team behind Sonnihaus, a Canadian 3D printing company for home decor and planters

Business branding: Sonnihaus

April 11, 2026 in Business, People, Lifestyle

Sonnihaus is a Korean-Canadian husband and wife team who designs and creates 3D-printed home decor and planters. Their collections are often influenced by their Asian roots, which can be seen in the shapes and features. Each piece is both functional and decorative, which blends in as storage, but stands out as decor.

They were recently in Cocolily Magazine in an article called Sonnihaus: Where memory meets form.

This kitchenette was designed with a specific person in mind for convenience and safety.

This bathroom is a special one because it was designed by @creativedesigntherapy to be more accessible. I loved photographing it and I hope to see more inclusive design like this.

There are many ways to create a space that is inclusive so here are a

How I see a space as an interior photographer:
