California Casual: Relaxed Design for Sunny Living

A living space bathed in afternoon sunlight. A full-length sliding door opens to the backyard, the sofa is a large linen slipcover with unironed wrinkles; on the floor is a jute rug, a large potted plant in the corner, and on the coffee table, a hand-pinched ceramic bowl and a stack of open books. Nothing in the room demands your careful attention. Avoid: decorating the space as a formal show home, ironing the fabric perfectly flat, keeping doors and windows closed relying only on artificial lighting, using glossy and delicate materials.

一個午後陽光灑滿的起居空間。整面拉門開向後院,沙發是寬大的亞麻套布,皺褶沒有燙平;地上是黃麻地毯,角落一棵大型盆栽,茶几上有一只手捏陶碗與一疊翻開的書。沒有任何一件東西在要求你小心。避免:把空間佈置成正式的樣品屋、把布料燙到平整、門窗緊閉只靠人工照明、使用亮面與精緻易損的材料。
