Color Immersion: Walls, Ceiling, and Cabinetry in the Same Hue

A room employing the color immersion technique. The walls, ceiling, baseboards, door frames, window frames, cabinets, and moldings are all painted in the exact same color—deep dark green—and with the same matte texture. Because there are no color breaks, the boundaries of the space become blurred, making the room appear enveloped in a single color, and the sense of scale is magnified rather than reduced. The dark envelopment makes all objects placed within it—brass lamps, books, picture frames, plants—stand out clearly. The floor is dark wood, and the rug has a pattern. The curtains use velvet of the same color family but different texture. Avoid: leaving the ceiling white, using contrasting colors for door frames and moldings, using high-gloss paint, or introducing a second main color in the same space.

一個採用色彩浸染手法的房間。牆面、天花板、踢腳板、門框、窗框、櫃體與線板,全部漆成完全相同的一個顏色——深墨綠,而且是同一種啞光的質地。因為沒有任何色彩的斷點,空間的邊界變得模糊,房間看起來像被包在一個完整的顏色裡,尺度感被放大而不是縮小。深色的包覆讓所有放在其中的物件——黃銅燈具、書、畫框、植物——都被襯托得清楚。地板是深色木質,地毯是有圖案的。窗簾則使用同色系但不同質地的絲絨。避免:把天花留成白色、讓門框與線板使用對比色、使用高光的漆面、在同一空間出現第二種主色。
