English・Boot Room: Mud, Hooks, and a Sink

A boot room in an English house, serving as a transitional space from the garden into the house. The floor is durable flagstone or square tiles, with slight traces of mud. One entire wall features a simple array of wooden hooks, densely hung with multiple coats, raincoats, hats, and dog leashes; below is a row of open wooden cubbies, stuffed with various sizes of tall boots and trainers, some with dried mud. On the other side is a deep ceramic sink with a brass faucet, with a hand towel and a brush hanging nearby. The walls are painted a durable dark color, with simple wooden wainscoting on the lower half. Gardening tools and a basket of sports equipment are piled in the corner. The window is small, and the light is not strong. Avoid: depicting the space as neat and bright, using modern modular storage cabinets, removing mud and signs of use, adding decorative items.

一間英式住宅的靴房,是從花園進屋的過渡空間。地面是耐髒的石板或方磚,略有泥痕。一整面牆是簡單的木質掛勾排,掛著多件外套、雨衣、帽子與狗鏈,層層疊疊;下方是一排開放的木格,塞著各種尺寸的長筒靴與運動鞋,有些沾著乾泥。另一側是一個深的陶瓷洗手槽,配黃銅龍頭,旁邊掛著擦手巾與一把刷子。牆面漆成耐髒的深色,上半部是簡單的木護牆板。角落堆著園藝工具與一籃球具。窗小,光線不強。避免:把空間畫得整潔明亮、使用現代的系統收納櫃、移除泥痕與使用痕跡、加入裝飾性的擺設。
