Expensive and Inexpensive Together

An eclectic arrangement with a wide price gap. A clearly expensive item is placed next to a very cheap one: a designer chair next to a wooden box found on the street serving as a side table; a contemporary artwork above an old cabinet bought from a second-hand market. The value gap between the two is significant, but they appear equal due to coordinated colors and textures. This juxtaposition makes the space non-snobbish. Avoid: having all items in the same price range, deliberately highlighting and isolating expensive objects, using fake brand reproductions, or making cheap items look cheap instead of modest.

一個價格差距很大的折衷陳設。一件明顯昂貴的東西旁邊放著一件很便宜的:一張設計名椅旁是一個路邊撿來的木箱當邊几;一件當代藝術品下方是一張二手市場買的舊櫃。兩者的價值差距很大,但因為顏色與質感協調,看起來是平等的。這種並置讓空間不勢利。避免:讓所有東西都是同一個價格帶、把昂貴的物件刻意突顯與隔離、使用假的名牌複製品、讓便宜的東西看起來廉價而不是樸素。
