Sharing a material: letting different eras connect

An eclectic space unified by a single material. The same material reappears on objects from different eras: a 1950s wooden chair, a 19th-century wooden cabinet, a contemporary wooden coffee table, all unified by the same depth of wood tone; or the same brass appearing on an antique lamp, contemporary handles, and an old candlestick. This shared material acts as an underlying thread. Avoid: letting every piece of furniture use completely different materials, mixing too many metal colors, allowing too great a difference in wood tone depth, having no material repeat anywhere in the space.

一個靠單一材質串起全場的折衷空間。同一種材料重複出現在不同年代的物件上:一張五〇年代的木椅、一個十九世紀的木櫃、一張當代的木矮几,三者的木色被統一在同一個深度;或是同一種黃銅出現在古董燈、當代把手與一個老燭台上。這個共用的材質是暗線。避免:讓每一件家具使用完全不同的材質、混用太多種金屬顏色、讓木色深淺差距過大、沒有任何材質在空間裡重複出現。
