No Ritual: No Preparation Needed to Sit Down

A living space demonstrating zero-threshold use. All activities require no prior preparation: one doesn't need to move a pile of decorative throw pillows to sit on the sofa; there's no elaborate centerpiece or candles on the coffee table to put away first; the rug isn't feared to be stepped on; curtains can be pulled with an easy reach. A corner of the image shows a contrasting version—the same sofa lined with eight decorative throw pillows, the coffee table adorned with a complete set of arranged ornaments and books, and the rug being a light-colored luxury item. As a result, any use would first disrupt this scene, making people hesitant to sit. The furniture and space in both versions are identical; the only difference is what is placed on them. Avoid: making the two too similar, placing a large number of decorations in the correct version, depicting the space as messy, changing the furniture arrangement and materials.

一個示範零門檻的起居空間。所有的使用都不需要前置動作:沙發上不必先移開一堆裝飾抱枕才能坐;茶几上沒有精緻的擺盤與蠟燭要先收走;地毯不怕踩;窗簾伸手就能拉。畫面的一角以相反的版本作對照——同樣的沙發上排著八個裝飾抱枕、茶几上有一整組佈置好的擺件與書、地毯是淺色高級品,結果任何使用都要先破壞這個畫面,人反而不敢坐。兩者的家具與空間完全相同,差別只在上面放了什麼。避免:讓兩者相似、在正確版本也擺上大量裝飾、把空間畫成雜亂、改變家具的配置與材質。
