Looks Undesigned: Deliberate Imperfection

An English living room, with an overall effect of 'no interior designer was hired.' The furniture arrangement is not strictly symmetrical: the sofa is slightly askew facing the fireplace, the two armchairs are mismatched and of different sizes, and the side tables are at inconsistent heights. The rug is not precisely centered, with one corner tucked under the sofa. The hung paintings are at varying heights, with some noticeably hung too low. Cushions are not neatly arranged, and seat cushions show indentations from use. Books are scattered in several places rather than concentrated on a bookshelf. These 'imperfections' collectively make the room appear genuinely lived-in rather than staged. The color palette is faded beige, ochre, and grey-green. Avoid: arranging furniture in strict symmetry, having everything neatly in place, depicting cushions and seat pads as perfectly plump, making the space look like a show home.

一間英式起居室,整體效果是「沒有請過設計師」。家具的擺放不是嚴格對稱的:沙發略微歪斜地面對壁爐、兩張扶手椅不成對且大小不同、邊几的高度彼此不搭。地毯沒有精確地置中,一角壓在沙發下。掛畫的高度不一致,有幾幅明顯掛得偏低。抱枕沒有排整齊,坐墊有人坐過的凹痕。書散落在幾個地方而不是集中在書架。這些「不對」加起來,反而讓房間顯得被真正住著、而不是被佈置出來。色調是褪色的米、赭與灰綠。避免:把家具排成嚴格對稱、讓所有東西整齊到位、把抱枕與坐墊畫得挺括、讓空間看起來像樣品屋。
