English・Kitchen: Stove and Plate Rack

An English country kitchen. At its core is a heavy enamel cast-iron range, cream white or deep blue, set into a brick alcove, always warm, with dishcloths hanging from the rail above. The cabinetry is handmade wooden, painted a soft grey-green or beige, with worn paint and brass cup handles for hardware. The countertops are thick wood or stone, with knife marks and water stains. One entire wall features an open plate rack, vertically displaying various mismatched porcelain plates, with cups hanging below. In front of the window is a deep ceramic sink with a brass faucet. In the center is an old wooden table with several chairs. The floor is worn flagstone. Avoid: modern modular kitchens and stainless steel appliances, painting cabinets pure white, making dishes perfectly matched, depicting the space as brand new and tidy.

一間英式鄉村廚房。核心是一台厚重的琺瑯鑄鐵爐,顏色是奶油白或深藍,嵌在磚砌的爐龕裡,永遠溫熱,上方的橫桿掛著擦碗布。櫃體是手工木作的,漆成柔和的灰綠或米色,漆面有磨損,五金是黃銅的杯型拉手。檯面是厚實的木頭或石材,有刀痕與水漬。牆上是一整面的開放碗盤架,直立地陳列著各種不成套的瓷盤,下方掛著杯子。窗前是一個深的陶瓷水槽配黃銅龍頭。中央是一張舊木桌與幾張椅子。地面是磨損的石板。避免:使用現代系統廚具與不鏽鋼設備、把櫃體漆成純白、讓碗盤成套、把空間畫得全新整潔。
