The inspiration: “I wanted minimal, pure lines and Japanese materials combined with wabi-sabi spirit from the existing oak beams and rediscovered floor,” says Zoë.
Square footage: 10 square meters (or 107 square feet)
Budget: €10,000 (or about $11,100)
Zoë loves to entertain friends at her marble-and-aluminum T69 dining table.

On the kitchen shelves: Black coffee cups by Thomas Vivant, a teapot by Mariage Frères, a brass spoon from Morocco, and a biscuit tin from Brittany, Zoë told Vogue.
Most insane splurge: The Miele appliances and Vola brass faucet rang in as the most expensive elements of the kitchen.
Sneakiest save: “The kitchen had great existing features,” says Zoë. Making the most of what she had—like maintaining the oval window, exposing the old wooden beams, and discovering space under the roof—helped save money. Zoë and Sophie also chose cheaper materials like plywood for the cabinets and concrete for the countertops rather than pricier options like solid wood and natural stone or marble.

What I’d never do again: “Renovating is always an adventure, especially in old Parisian buildings,” explains Zoë. “Sometimes there are good surprises, and other times there are disillusions. We thought we could bleach the beams to make them much lighter, but the wood didn’t react as we thought it would. On the other hand, the floor was covered with a rug and years of glue, and we managed to restore the old parquet and terra-cotta tiles.”
Final bill: Pretty much exactly on budget: €10,000.
