Comfort First: It Counts if You Can Sit Down

A living room where comfort is the sole criterion. The sofa cushions are down-filled, already sunken and soft from use, with the back pillows askew; the armchair is very deep with a reclined back, paired with a footstool. Next to every seat is a small side table large enough for a cup and a table lamp at just the right height. A wool blanket is casually draped over the sofa. A thick rug covers the floor, soft underfoot. The most comfortable spot is in front of the fireplace, where the oldest and softest chair sits. There isn't a single spot in the entire room that is “for show, not for sitting.” The color palette is warm, faded beige and ochre. Avoid: depicting cushions as firm and plump, using modern furniture with rigid lines, neatly arranging throw pillows, adding decorative seating that cannot be used.

一間以舒適為唯一標準的起居室。沙發的坐墊是羽絨的,已經被坐得凹陷、鬆軟,靠背的抱枕東倒西歪;扶手椅的進深很大、椅背向後傾,配著一張腳凳。每一個座位旁邊都有一張放得下杯子的小几與一盞高度剛好的桌燈。沙發上搭著一條隨手拉過的羊毛毯。地上有一張厚地毯,腳踩上去柔軟。壁爐前的位置最舒服,那裡有一張最舊也最軟的椅子。整個房間沒有一個位置是「只能看不能坐」的。色調是溫暖的褪色米與赭。避免:把坐墊畫成挺括飽滿、使用線條硬挺的現代家具、讓抱枕排列整齊、加入不能使用的裝飾性座椅。
