How Dark Wood Looks When Done Poorly

A comparison demonstrating common mistakes. The poorly executed version: the entire space is covered with glossy dark laminate, and when the lights hit it, it reflects a dead white glare; the wood grain is printed, with the same pattern repeating every sixty centimeters; the illumination is insufficient and lacks accent lighting, leaving the entire room as an indistinct dark mass; the wood color is dyed too uniformly and deeply, making the grain invisible, turning it into a black box. Avoid: using glossy veneer and printed wood grain, allowing the grain to show recognizable repetition, only reducing illumination without accent lighting, and dyeing the wood color so deeply that the wood grain is invisible.

一個示範常見錯誤的對照。做壞的版本是:用亮面的深色美耐板貼滿整個空間,燈一打就是一片反光的死白;木皮的紋理是印刷的,同一個圖案每六十公分重複一次;照度不夠又沒有重點光,整個房間只剩一團看不清楚的黑;木色染得太均勻,深到看不出紋理,變成一個黑盒子。避免:使用亮面貼皮與印刷木紋、讓紋理出現可辨識的重複、只降低照度而不做重點光、把木色染到看不出木紋。
