Black and Charcoal: The Weight of Lines

A Korean-style space with minimal black accents. Black appears only on thin lines and small surfaces: an iron door handle and hinges, a black-glazed ceramic piece, roof tiles under the eaves, or a corner of an ink painting. The total area of these black elements is very small, but they create a distinct visual weight amidst the abundant white and light wood. The black is matte and non-reflective. Avoid: using large areas of black walls and furniture, using glossy black, having black appear in more than three or four locations, or using black on floors and large surfaces.

一個以少量黑色收邊的韓式空間。黑只出現在細的線與小的面上:一件鐵製的門把與鉸鏈、一個黑釉的陶器、屋簷下的瓦、或是一幅水墨的一角。這些黑的總面積很小,但在大量的白與淺木之中形成明確的視覺重量。黑是霧面的,不反光。避免:使用大面積的黑色牆與家具、使用亮面的黑、讓黑色出現在超過三四個位置、把黑色用在地板與大型表面。
