Wood and metal: seven to one ratio

A casual space primarily featuring wood, with metal as an accent. Wood accounts for most of the hard materials: flooring, coffee table, side tables, low cabinets, and shelves, all in a uniform neutral light brown with a matte finish. Metal appears only in very slender forms: the thin rod of a floor lamp, the slim handles of cabinets, and the rim of a tray, in matte black or antique bronze. The total area of metal is less than one-tenth of the wood. Avoid: using large areas of metal cabinets and tabletops, mixing more than two metal colors, using glossy electroplated metal, allowing wood colors to vary in shade.

一個以木為主、金屬為輔的休閒空間。木頭佔了大部分的硬材:地板、矮几、邊几、矮櫃與層板,顏色是統一的中性淺褐,表面是霧面的。金屬只以極細的形式出現:落地燈的細桿、櫃體的細長把手、托盤的邊框,顏色是霧面的黑或古銅。金屬的總面積不到木材的十分之一。避免:使用大面積的金屬櫃體與桌面、混用兩種以上的金屬顏色、使用亮面電鍍的金屬、讓木材的顏色深淺不一。
