One wood throughout: A single wood tone for the entire house

A new traditional space that uses only a single type of wood. The flooring, doors, wainscoting, bookshelves, furniture, and stair railings are all made of the same wood and stained with the same color—for example, medium brown white oak, straight grain, matte oil-wax finish. Because the wood color is completely uniform, even with a large amount of woodwork in the space, the visual effect is very quiet, without the clutter of varying shades. The only variation comes from the grain direction: the flooring is laid lengthwise, the wainscoting is vertical, and cabinet doors are horizontal, with the difference in direction providing layering. This is paired with plain white walls and black or brass hardware. Avoid: mixing more than one wood color, introducing texture differences between wood veneer and solid wood, using high-gloss finishes, allowing the color of the woodwork to be noticeably different from the flooring.

一個只使用單一木料的新傳統空間。地板、門扇、護牆板、書架、家具、樓梯扶手全部是同一種木材與同一種染色——例如中褐色的白橡木,直紋,霧面油蠟處理。因為木色完全統一,即使空間中有大量的木作,視覺上也非常安靜,不會出現深淺不一的雜亂。唯一的變化來自紋理方向:地板是長向鋪設、護牆板是垂直、櫃體的門片是水平,方向的差異提供了層次。搭配素白的牆面與黑色或黃銅的五金。避免:混用兩種以上的木色、加入木紋貼皮與實木的質感差異、使用高光的漆面、讓木作的顏色與地板明顯不同。
