Pattern Usage: Three is Enough

A Neoclassical room with restrained pattern distribution. The same motif appears three times in the space: once on the frieze of the architrave, once around the central medallion on the ceiling, and once on the relief above the fireplace. Most of the wall surface is flat and light-colored, without decoration. Because the patterns are concentrated on key architectural elements, their meaning is clear. Avoid: covering every surface with patterns, using multiple different motifs in the same space, repeating patterns on furniture and textiles, having no flat areas on the walls.

一個紋樣分佈有節制的新古典房間。同一個母題在空間裡出現三次:一次在楣樑的浮雕飾帶上、一次在天花的中央獎章周圍、一次在壁爐上方的浮雕。牆身的大部分區域是平的淺色,沒有裝飾。因為紋樣集中在建築的關鍵部位,它們的意義才清楚。避免:讓紋樣佈滿每一個表面、在同一空間使用多種不同的母題、把紋樣用在家具與織品上重複出現、讓牆身沒有平的區域。
