Plaster Walls and Bricks: A Rough White

A textured warm white wall. The surface is hand-troweled lime or plaster, showing subtle undulations and brushstrokes when light sweeps across it; the area around the fireplace is whitewashed old brick, with the unevenness of the mortar joints still visible. The overall color is white but not a smooth, pure white. Avoid: using a perfectly smooth, flawless latex paint wall, painting the wall a cool, pure white, imitating plaster texture with wallpaper, leaving the brick wall its original bright red color without treatment.

一面有質地的暖白牆。表面是手工抹的石灰或灰泥,光線掃過時看得到細微的起伏與刷痕;壁爐周邊是刷白的舊磚,磚縫的凹凸仍然可見。整體是白色但不是平滑的純白。避免:使用平整無瑕的乳膠漆牆面、把牆刷成冷調的純白、用壁紙模仿抹灰紋理、讓磚牆的顏色保持鮮紅不處理。
