bucketlist #84: Wander through interior-design-street Rozengracht
Wonen 2000 / De Kasstoor is regarded as one of the best interior design shops in NL.The Rozengracht is an ugly, busy, car-filled street. It has wide car lanes and a tram line running through it, and there is an overall general lack of ‘ambiance’.
So why visit Rozengracht?
The Rozengrachts has a bustling interior design scene, with no less than 15 interior-related shops on a stretch of 200 meters!
Rozengracht #8-12 Kitsch Kitchen - colourful, playful and, often ‘floral’ products of all sorts.
