Traditional kitchens often have recessed panel or shaker-style kitchen cabinets with wooden or metal handles, traditional marble or granite worktops, and classic oven models, or perhaps even range cookers. Traditional bathrooms could have all white, or black and white, bathroom suites, tiled floors, pedestal sinks, and classic style taps and showerheads that would look at home in Victorian bathrooms. In traditional living rooms you might find chesterfield sofas, a Victorian fireplace with a mantlepiece, elegant vases, ornate picture frames, mirrors and classic colours. However, you don’t have to stick to all very formal and antique-style pieces, there are plenty of modern designs that use traditional form to create an understated and inviting look.

For its September Issue, Architectural Digest was invited to discover and unveil Kate Moss’ collaboration with the prestigious English wallpaper brand de Gournay. It is in the heart of Primrose Hill, in the fashion icon’s house, that her inimitable aesthetic sense is once yet demonstrated.
Already a long-standing de Gournay client, it should come as no surprise that she chose to join forces with the brand to create ‘Anemones in Light’, a beautiful chinoiserie wallcovering now part of the house’s permanent collection and showcased in her bathroom, reflecting her personal style: sleek and modern with a poetic touch.
This Art Deco-inspired masterpiece, made in custom Xuan paper, displays largescale hand-painted Anemones, symbol of luck according to Greek mythology. The intricate flowers, alongside shards of light hand-gilded in sterling silver metal leaf, superbly stand out on an ethereal background. This backdrop is painted in a hue named “Dusk”, referring to the supermodel’s favourite time of the day and reminiscent of “a summer night when it goes silvery-blue from the light of the moon”, as she stated in Architectural Digest.
The Double Lowther vanity basin suite, handmade using traditional methods, finds its place perfectly in this glamorous, romantic and relaxing atmosphere. Our largest basin unit constitutes a wonderful option for bathrooms providing sufficient space as this one. It features a stunning classic marble white Arabescato finish, hand-cut with detailed moulding and characterized by black veins, echoing with the flowers’ long stems. This precious piece also includes his and her deep and spacious basins, made in hand-poured china for a unique result. Its stand, created here in a chrome finish, blends in beautifully with the silver-tinted wallpaper and the embroidered curtains, made from saris, which are draped at the windows.
Last but not least: the mirrored sections, which create the illusion of a bigger room, have been designed in a way to outline the pre-existing wooden panelling with elegance. Here are displayed antique perfume bottles, golden ornaments and flowers.

Painted solid ash has been used to give a more pronounced effect with the wood grain. The dark grey island gives an exceptional counterpoint to the much lighter grey of the main kitchen. Add to that, the white quartz with a gentle vein running through it which compliments the doors and you have a truly remarkable finish to a classical kitchen.
Solid oak in the seating and shelving area softens the monochrome feel to the kitchen, bringing warmth and a touch of the rustic into the space. Splashes of colour have also been added to give that personal touch that every kitchen deserves.
The stunning black range cooker has been framed nicely by glass dresser cabinets done in a Georgian frame style with help from a continuous shelf around the extractor hood to enable the cornice to connect the two dressers together.
To finish off the refined look of this kitchen, a double farmhouse sink has been mounted under the worktop and grooves routed to the left. Truly a mix of old and new giving a stylish and graceful conclusion to this project.
