No mirrors: light needs to be absorbed

A minimalist space deliberately avoiding all highly reflective surfaces. The floor is matte wood or honed stone, not polished; the walls are light-absorbing mineral plaster; the cabinetry is matte wood or ultra-matte finish; the countertops are matte-finished stone; metal parts are brushed or unlacquered brass, not mirror-polished; glass is used sparingly, with no large mirrors. Because no surface reflects light as it is, light is absorbed and softened in the space, with no harsh highlights or reflected images, and the overall sense of brightness is uniform and gentle. One corner of the image shows a comparison with a high-gloss version, where bright reflections are everywhere.
Avoid: making the two look similar, adding mirrors and glass to the minimalist version, using polished stone and high-gloss paint, adding polished chrome hardware.

一個刻意避開所有高反射表面的極簡空間。地板是霧面的木或珩磨的石材,不拋光;牆面是吸光的礦物塗料;櫃體是霧面的木或超霧面的塗裝;檯面是霧面處理的石材;金屬件是拉絲或未上漆的黃銅,不做鏡面拋光;玻璃的用量極少,沒有大面的鏡子。因為沒有任何表面把光原樣反射回去,光在空間中被吸收與柔化,不出現刺眼的高光點與反射的影像,整體的亮度感是均勻而柔和的。畫面的一角以高光版本作對照,到處都是反光的亮點。避免:讓兩者看起來相似、在極簡版加入鏡面與玻璃、使用拋光的石材與高光烤漆、加入拋光鍍鉻的五金。
