This kitchen doesn’t have upper cabinets but instead a glass feature where the hood is hidden. Clever how to hide not the prettiest essential in the kitchen. In this kitchen, you will never run out of storage space, as there are two extra pantry spaces on each side of the room. A variety of materials and different types of seating make it so interesting yet very cohesive. Just stunning! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696942276dc8b276077f76cf/a3049d25-516e-498d-b687-b60c8fcd80b1/Picture5.png Beyond 2 Minutes - August Inspirations On the opposite side, the dining table is a cosier space with a beautiful stone chimney. The space is so warm and snug you want to grab a coffee, blanket, and start the fireplace. I really appreciate the fact that the space is designed for connecting to people or to beautiful nature outside. The is no visible TV screens in any of the spaces. All of them are hidden away. In this example, the TV is located under the floor behind the armchairs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696942276dc8b276077f76cf/c79079bc-f86a-4fe0-861b-31bef9a386c7/Picture8.png Beyond 2 Minutes - August Inspirations The other stunning part of the house is the main bathroom. The whole materiality, aged brass fixtures and mahogany cabinets make the space just perfect. When you're taking a shower, you almost feel like you are outside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696942276dc8b276077f76cf/b665041c-6969-4f8c-987c-9c5a3408aa92/hitomi-bremmer-aCR_KE3vg7U-unsplash.jpg Beyond 2 Minutes - August Inspirations - Interesting fact In Japan, they use separate bathroom slippers (toire surippa) inside the restroom to maintain household hygiene. You step out of your regular indoor house slippers, leave them right outside the toilet door, and slip into the designated restroom slippers. When you finish, you switch back. Would you try that in your home? Diving deeper into that, this practice is rooted in Shinto religion, which centres on ritual cleanliness, harmony with nature, and community festivals. Cleanliness and purity are very important values in Japan. That’s why they enter the house by removing their shoes first. You leave the dirt both invisible and visible outside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696942276dc8b276077f76cf/ee7cbf44-b5b1-41f4-9f0d-6ba5cd784b17/WhatsApp+Image+2026-08-16+at+20.14.26.jpeg Beyond 2 Minutes - August Inspirations - One thing that I learned Recently I finished the book The Diary of a CEO; there is lots of useful information and inspiration for the entrepreneur, and how to become a great leader with some real-life examples. One thing that stands out for me is that the customer will judge their entire experience on just two moments: the best part (or the worst) and the end. Thinking of that and reflecting on my experiences, it is so true. I always recall the peak moment (not the whole experience) and the ending. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696942276dc8b276077f76cf/1786908848274-6I5LFGU189VQCS9UT8YQ/Screenshot+2026-08-16+203349.png Beyond 2 Minutes - August Inspirations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696942276dc8b276077f76cf/1786908858892-8GMK3SVNVHI80MLD022Z/Screenshot+2026-08-16+203331.png Beyond 2 Minutes - August Inspirations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696942276dc8b276077f76cf/1786908865224-IE2GLD34MOTKFOKMHBIX/Screenshot+2026-08-16+203311.png Beyond 2 Minutes - August Inspirations https://www.sunstridestudio.co.uk/home daily 1.0 2026-07-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696942276dc8b276077f76cf/46b4dfb0-6c1e-44d2-9aeb-5d9c115de919/20260301_133000.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696942276dc8b276077f76cf/d2b4c639-f504-4597-b698-9948a728c4fe/imgg-demo-lPF9EhZR.jpg https://www.sunstridestudio.co.uk/about daily 0.75 2026-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696942276dc8b276077f76cf/07616c77-258b-4659-8dad-268c923efd3d/website2jpg.jpg https://www.sunstridestudio.co.uk/contact daily 0.75 2026-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696942276dc8b276077f76cf/43d998be-8ccc-49e1-be0e-4325d12024bf/20260301_101646.jpg https://www.sunstridestudio.co.uk/appointments daily 0.75 2026-05-13 https://www.sunstridestudio.co.uk/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2026-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696942276dc8b276077f76cf/1769951206412-8TMKC8OUX8Z7QNCLXOEE/unsplash-image-f0iHba5bSlQ.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696942276dc8b276077f76cf/1769951282699-OSX1P3MZ2M0LU5PMWEWE/unsplash-image-S8qMG2g-eFM.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696942276dc8b276077f76cf/1769951584146-6P85PKOOORGLHPJ319LC/unsplash-image-fZ1vlupgdSY.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696942276dc8b276077f76cf/f5d45eeb-fb1d-420b-99dc-afbb6a4c9e9f/pexels-cottonbro-6579996.jpg Services https://www.sunstridestudio.co.uk/terms-conditions daily 0.75 2026-05-20
