Difference from American Modern Farmhouse: Heavy Wood, Not White Walls

A mountain interior primarily featuring heavy timber and stone, rather than white walls. American modern farmhouse style is characterized by white walls, white cabinets, and black-framed windows, creating a clean and fresh look. Mountain modern, however, features walls of reclaimed barn wood or warm white plaster, ceilings with exposed heavy timber trusses, and main walls of dry-stacked stone. Even when white appears, it is merely the base color of the wall, always overshadowed by wood and stone. Avoid: using large areas of pure white walls and white cabinetry, incorporating black-framed grid windows, making the ceiling a flat white, and having wood structures account for less than thirty percent of the design.

一個以重木與石為主而非白牆的山區室內。美式現代農舍是白牆、白櫃、黑框窗,乾淨清爽;山居現代的牆面是再生穀倉木或抹灰的暖白,天花是外露的粗大木桁架,主牆是一整面乾砌石。白色即使出現也只是牆的底色,永遠被木與石壓過。避免:使用大面積純白牆面與白色櫃體、加入黑框格子窗、把天花做成平整的白色、讓木構的比例低於三成。
