Sets and Uniformity: The Same Thing Appears Only Once

A space where all similar objects are standardized. All hangers are the same wooden hanger, all towels are the same color and three sizes, all amenity bottles are from the same series, all throw pillows are custom-made from the same batch, all switch plates throughout the room are the same model and color, and all handles are the same type. Because there are no differences between similar objects, the eye is not drawn to individual items, and the overall impression is that of a system. This is where homes most easily fail—hangers bought individually, towels accumulated in five different colors. A corner of the image shows a comparison with a mixed version. Avoid: making the two similar, mixing different styles in the unified version, reducing the number of objects to avoid the problem, changing the space's materials and layout.

一個所有同類物件都統一規格的空間。所有的衣架是同一款木衣架、所有的毛巾是同一色同一尺寸的三種規格、所有的備品瓶罐是同一系列、所有的抱枕是同一批訂製、開關面板全室同款同色、把手全部同一種。因為同類物件之間沒有任何差異,眼睛不會被單一物品抓住,整體讀起來是一個系統。這是住家最容易失守的地方——衣架各買各的、毛巾累積了五種顏色。畫面一角以混雜的版本作對照。避免:讓兩者相似、在統一版本混入不同款式、把物件數量減少迴避問題、改變空間的材質與配置。
