Difference from Chinese Style: Plain, Not Colorful

A modern Korean interior that is clearly not Chinese. Chinese spaces feature dark hardwoods, symmetrical axes, distinct patterns, and rich colors; Korean spaces, in contrast, use light-colored pine and zelkova, maintaining their natural wood color without paint; the arrangement is asymmetrical; colors are almost absent, only white, beige, and natural wood. Decorations are minimal, and the texture of the materials itself is the content.
Avoid: using dark hardwoods and vermilion lacquer, adding traditional patterns such as meander and cloud motifs, making the arrangement strictly axially symmetrical, using rich colors and gold accents.

一個明顯不是中式的韓式現代室內。中式空間有深色的硬木、對稱的軸線、明確的紋樣與濃重的色彩;韓式則相反:木材是淺色的松與櫸,保持原木色不上漆;配置是不對稱的;顏色幾乎沒有,只有白、米與素木。裝飾極少,材料的質地本身就是內容。避免:使用深色硬木與朱漆、加入回紋與雲紋等傳統紋樣、把配置做成嚴格的中軸對稱、使用濃重的色彩與描金。
