Expensive in the unseen places

A Japanese light luxury space where the budget is spent on details. The surface appears simple, but every junction has been treated: the junction between wall and floor is a five-millimeter recessed shadow gap instead of a baseboard, the gap between cabinet doors and walls is uniformly three millimeters throughout the house, and the junction between ceiling and wall is also the same recessed groove. These details will not be noticed, but they make the entire space look unusually clean. Avoid: using exposed baseboards and trim strips, having inconsistent gap widths in different locations, using silicone caulk at junctions, spending the budget on conspicuous decorations while neglecting finishes.

一個把預算花在細部的日式輕奢空間。表面看起來簡單,但每一個交界都被處理過:牆與地的交界是一道五公釐的內凹陰影縫而不是踢腳板、櫃門與牆面之間的縫全屋統一在三公釐、天花與牆的交界也是同樣的凹槽。這些細節不會被注意到,但它們讓整個空間看起來乾淨得不尋常。避免:使用外露的踢腳板與收邊條、讓不同位置的縫寬不一致、在交界處使用矽利康填縫、把預算花在顯眼的裝飾上而忽略收邊。
