The Difference from Nordic Minimalism: One Relies on Furniture, the Other on Woodwork

A modern minimalist interior composed of custom millwork rather than furniture. While Nordic minimalist spaces feature white walls and a few slender-legged furniture pieces where furniture is the protagonist, here it's the opposite: the main content of the space is integrated millwork facades, such as a full-height storage wall, a continuous suspended countertop, and a TV and shelves embedded in the wall. Independent furniture pieces are limited to the sofa, dining table and chairs, and a few others, all with a blocky, volumetric feel rather than the light, slender-legged forms. Avoid: using light, slender-legged furniture as the main content, leaving walls completely blank and relying solely on furniture, adding a large number of textiles and hanging rails, or using a Nordic color scheme of light wood and white.

一個以木作而非家具構成的現代簡約室內。北歐簡約的空間是白牆加上幾件細腿家具,家具是主角;這裡相反,空間的主要內容是整合的木作立面:一整面到頂的收納牆、一段連續的懸空檯面、嵌入牆體的電視與層板。獨立的家具只有沙發、餐桌椅與少數幾件,而且是方正的量體感造型,不是細腿的輕巧形式。避免:使用細木腿的輕巧家具作為主要內容、把牆面完全留白只靠家具、加入大量織品與掛物軌、使用淺木與白的北歐配色。
