Difference from English Cottages: Bright, Large, Clean

An American farmhouse interior that is distinctly American, not English. English cottages are low and cramped, with oppressive ceilings, dark old wood and floral patterns layered, and dim lighting. This is the complete opposite: the ceiling is a five-meter high gable, large floor-to-ceiling lattice windows let in abundant light, the walls are pure white tongue-and-groove paneling, and there are few items, neatly arranged. The overall impression is bright and spacious. Avoid: lowering the ceiling to cottage scale, using floral and patchwork textiles, making the space dim and cramped, adding a large amount of collections and stacked decorations.

一個明顯是美式而非英式的農舍室內。英式小屋低矮擁擠、天花壓頭、深色的舊木與碎花層層堆疊、光線昏暗。這裡完全相反:天花挑高到五米的山牆、大面的落地格子窗讓光大量進來、牆是純白的企口板、東西少而整齊。整體明亮寬敞。避免:把天花壓低做成小屋尺度、使用碎花與拼布織品、讓空間昏暗擁擠、加入大量收藏與擺飾堆疊。
