Steal This Look: Luxe Restraint in a London Kitchen

August 16, 2022

When property developer Pete Monaghan was ready to renovate his own East London home, he married modern and staunchly minimal finishes with unique vintage furniture and lighting. “We didn’t want to live in a catalog-shopped home,” says Pete of his and his partner’s approach to the overall design. Here, we take the kitchen, done in calm off-white and concrete, and showcase a list of resources to match.
