Two-toned kitchen with white marble backsplash and light wood lower cabinets. A large kitchen island stands in the middle.

Neutral two-toned kitchen (Studio ALC)

April 28, 2025 in Interiors

This kitchen needed a refresh and Studio ALC turned it into a beautiful and functional kitchen for large gatherings. The two-toned stone and wood palette keeps the space bright natural.

With plenty of room to work with, the space was opened up to create a better flow for traffic and additional lower cabinets allowed for more storage. The kitchen also leads seamlessly to a dining area, making it easy to transition from cooking to eating.

Bright, white remodeled kitchen with cabinets from floor to ceiling.

Refreshed coastal galley kitchen with a sun tunnel

March 05, 2025 in Interiors

This kitchen had high ceilings and big windows, but the cabinets and flooring didn’t represent that well. They were dated and didn’t match the rest of the first floor, which was updated with a blue coastal theme.

Belynda Chen Interiors helped the homeowners refresh their kitchen from top to bottom by extending the cabinets to the ceiling, and changing the cabinets and floors. As a final touch, a sun tunnel was installed in the ceiling. This allows a hint of sunlight to stream in from above, like a mini skylight.

A jute basket filled with rolled rugs. A rustic wooden ladder leans against the wall beside the basket with three rugs hanging off the rungs.

Lifestyle product: hd+co

February 10, 2025 in Commercial, Interiors, Lifestyle

hd+co is a Canadian company based in Toronto, founded by interior designer and stylist Emily Staunton. The collection of handwoven rugs are designed to withstand daily use like high-traffic areas, pets, and spills. The rugs are from recycled plastic water bottles and are UV resistant, which makes them more durable than regular cotton or wool, ensuring they maintain their quality and beauty.

Spacious open kitchen with floor to ceiling white cabinets and a two-toned island with two white pendant lamps hanging above

Spacious family kitchen (Creative Design Therapy)

January 06, 2025 in Interiors

This large kitchen was fully relocated and rebuilt from the ground up to be a beautiful and functional place to accomodate a busy family. With a spacious kitchen island and plenty of floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, the family can all be in the space at the same time without feeling cramped. They can now host big groups of family and friends with all the new space they’ve gained.

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

It’s great for people who have reduced mobility, but everyone can make use of it especially at night. No need to walk downstairs to get water or a snack ☺
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:
