Eclectic: Furniture From Different Eras in the Same Room

A living room deliberately mixing furniture from different eras. The space simultaneously features: a 19th-century carved wooden armchair, a mid-century modern teak sofa set, an 80s chrome and glass side table, and a contemporary organic-shaped accent chair. Their eras span 150 years, and their design languages are completely different. The key to their coexistence is: fabrics and colors are unified within a palette of ochre, dark green, and cream; each piece has similar scale and visual weight, so no one piece overwhelms another; and they are framed within the same area by a large rug. The walls are dark, hung with paintings of similarly mixed eras. Avoid: allowing furniture colors and fabrics to lose unity, letting any one piece be noticeably oversized, narrowing the range of eras, using matching furniture sets.

一間刻意混搭不同年代家具的客廳。空間裡同時有:一張十九世紀的雕花木扶手椅、一組中世紀現代主義的柚木沙發、一張八〇年代的鍍鉻與玻璃邊几、以及一張當代的有機造型單椅。它們的年代橫跨一百五十年,造型語言完全不同。能夠共處的關鍵是:面料與顏色被統一在一組赭褐、墨綠與奶油之中;每一件的尺度與視覺重量相近,誰也不壓過誰;並以一張大地毯把它們框在同一個範圍內。牆面是深色的,掛著同樣混雜年代的畫作。避免:讓家具的顏色與面料失去統一、讓某一件的尺度明顯過大、把年代範圍縮小、使用成套的家具組。
