The Three Easiest Places to Look Cheap

A shabby chic room that has fallen into three common traps, with the problems clearly marked. First, the distressed look is printed: mass-produced furniture surfaces are printed with imitation wood grain and faux wear patterns, which up close are flat with no real texture or layers. Second, lace and ruffles are excessive: every surface is covered with lace, and every textile has ruffles, turning the room into a fluffy frosting. Third, too much pink is too sweet: a large amount of saturated pink and purple is used, losing the style's original restraint of being primarily white with only very faint pink accents. The image should show the actual state of these three problems and label them. Avoid: making the room look appealing, hiding these three problems, making the room dirty and dilapidated, changing the room's size and layout.

一個踩到三個常見陷阱的破舊復古風房間,標示出問題。第一,做舊是印上去的:量產家具表面印著仿木紋與仿磨損的圖案,近看是平的沒有真正的凹凸與層次。第二,蕾絲與荷葉邊過量:每一個平面都鋪著蕾絲、每一件織品都有荷葉邊,房間變成一團蓬鬆的糖霜。第三,粉紅太多太甜:大量使用飽和的粉紅與紫,失去這個風格原本以白為主、粉只是極淡點綴的克制。畫面呈現這三個問題的實際狀態並標註。避免:把房間畫得吸引人、隱藏這三個問題、把房間畫成髒亂破敗、改變空間的坪數與格局。
