The only rule it does abide by is a cut on clutter. It is very expansive and clutter-free, so if you fancy creative storage, this is one design you may want to try. Think built-in storage and unique ways of displaying items.

It emphasizes strongly on functionality. Hence, “no-nonsense” furnishings help build up the theme – great for those who wish to impress with an eye-catching and unconventional interior.  However, you can soften the strong tones a little by repurposing old furniture or introducing natural elements, which exudes a more personal touch and a cosier feeling.
