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.

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

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.

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:

Photo 1 - Capture the corner. Corners can be interesting because of how the walls guide your eye.
