Large, light-wood kitchen with long kitchen island and a small skylight

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.

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.
