Mix the soft with the solid

Straight, clean lines and angles in the furniture is softened by plush textiles. Creating balance and harmony, textiles add a comforting homely feel. We’ve chosen neutral tones and geometric patterns for an ideal blend of classy clean looks and warm cosiness.

Keep it boxy

This combination of cabinet and modular shelving gives a stylish uniform look that’s also space effective. With box shelves stacked next to each other, you can place stuff like plants, mirrors and decorations on top. The closed cabinet underneath provides extra space for personal items.

Lines should be clean and straight

Key to creating a masculine looking space are choosing pieces of furniture with straight lines and square shapes, while textiles should generally be dark or earth toned with plain or geometric patterns. Bring balance with round objects like a small table or vase, and soft cushions or rugs will add warmth.
