- The color, texture solution and design of the furniture completely depend on the stylistic direction of the interior. Classic, Scandinavian direction or Provence style are characterized by softer features and warm bleached shades.
- The dimensions of the product also determine its functional purpose. The large and roomy design allows for storing shoes and a sufficient number of things. For small items and accessories, a hanging model or a chest of drawers with small shelves is suitable.
