banquette
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.
Are you thinking of renovating your kitchen and want to add colour for the first time? You may feel overwhelmed by the colour options out there and that’s common.
This dining area was under-utilized before Toronto interior designer Sabrina O’Neill Design created the banquette and now, her clients spend much more time around the dining table.

This single wall kitchen was designed with storage and countertop space from top to bottom. The long kitchen island adds more prep space and lower cabinetry, creating a circular flow in the space for everyone to move around.
