Before and after: Featured in Style at Home (Belynda Chen Interiors)

June 23, 2026 in Interiors, Featured

How do you reconfigure your bathroom with an angled entrance? Belynda Chen Interiors took a bit of space from the adjacent room, which expanded the primary bathroom. While this had a big impact on the bathroom, the reduced space in the hallway wasn’t that noticeable.

She replaced the integrated tub with a freestanding one, added an entrance and relocated the existing door for better access, added more storage and increased the size of the shower.

The result? Style at Home featured this project in their latest edition of Before & After.

Double vanity and floor to ceiling storage on the left of a bathroom. A large shower encased in glass on the right. The doorway in between.
Double vanity with stone countertop, gold faucets and black cabinet hardware. and
Freestanding tub with gold hardware in front of two windows.

The integrated tub was replaced with a freestanding tub.

June 01, 2026 in Interiors

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.

A portrait of the husband and wife team behind Sonnihaus, a Canadian 3D printing company for home decor and planters

Business branding: Sonnihaus

April 11, 2026 in Business, People, Lifestyle

Sonnihaus is a Korean-Canadian husband and wife team who designs and creates 3D-printed home decor and planters. Their collections are often influenced by their Asian roots, which can be seen in the shapes and features. Each piece is both functional and decorative, which blends in as storage, but stands out as decor.

They were recently in Cocolily Magazine in an article called Sonnihaus: Where memory meets form.

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.

It’s ok if you don’t want to add colour to your kitchen. If you like neutrals or black and (off) white, there are ways to incorporate them like @belyndacheninteriors did here.

The island is black, but with some detail on the side to add

This is very much my kind of kitchen 😍 It’s the details like the skylight above the coffee + tea station, rolling vertical storage, and the overall design that make this both beautiful and functional.
