Off-white L-shaped kitchen and a large island with black lower cabinets. Two scalloped pendants hang above.

Refreshed kitchen and dining (Belynda Chen Interiors)

March 01, 2026 in Interiors

Belynda Chen Interiors refreshed this kitchen by removing a small wall and the original kitchen peninsula to open up the layout of the kitchen. The new kitchen island now creates a better flow throughout the space.

The kitchen island stands out with its black base cabinet and fluted detail to create contrast between the rest of the cabinets.

A large open kitchen with light wood cabinets and marble countertop and backsplash with a long kitchen island and four tall stools.

Long, light wood kitchen (Alair Homes)

February 19, 2026 in Interiors

From the outside, you wouldn’t picture there would be this much space, but this kitchen shows how wide the home can be.

Before this full renovation, the kitchen was much smaller with no room for an island, but now it’s spacious with plenty of space to walk through, a lot more storage, and a skylight above the coffee station.

Builder: Alair Homes / @alairhomes.toronto

White kitchen with marbled backsplash and long kitchen island. A large black vase and loaves of bread sit on the kitchen island.

Kitchen redesign: Peninsula to Island (Belynda Chen Interiors)

January 31, 2026 in Interiors

The original design of this kitchen had dark brown cabinets and a peninsula that cut off the middle of the kitchen.

Interior designer, Belynda (Belynda Chen Interiors) changed the layout by removing the peninsula and installing a long island with storage and countertop seating. She added built-in pantry storage at the other end of the kitchen to maximize the space.

Here’s one way to add fun and whimsy to your bathroom: a patterned tile wall with colour πŸ’šπŸ€πŸ’šπŸ€

Went on a πŸŸ‘πŸ’›β­οΈπŸŸ¨ colour hunt in Japan and Taiwan ☺️ Which one’s your favourite? I love the ones with the ginkgo tree and flatbed truck. 

#tokyo #japan #taipei #taiwan #colourhunters
When this long kitchen was divided by a peninsula, @belyndacheninteriors changed the layout and flow by turning it into an island. This created more countertop space for food prep, more storage, and still included seating.

An entire built-in pantry
