New vs. Old Three-to-Seven: Mostly Old

An eclectic interior with a clear new-to-old ratio. Approximately 70% of the furniture and objects are vintage: old wooden cabinets, second-hand single chairs, old rugs, and items with signs of use; 30% are contemporary: a new fabric sofa, a modern lamp, a piece of contemporary art. New items typically fulfill comfort and functional needs, while old items provide personality and a sense of time. Avoid: letting the new-to-old ratio be close to 50/50, losing the main theme; using brand new distressed-look furniture; having only one vintage piece and the rest new; having vintage items concentrated too much in the same period.

一個新舊比例明確的折衷室內。大約七成的家具與物件是有年代的:老木櫃、二手單椅、舊地毯、有使用痕跡的器物;三成是當代的:一張新的布沙發、一盞現代燈具、一件當代藝術。新的東西通常是需要舒適與功能的部分,舊的則提供個性與時間感。避免:讓新舊比例接近一半一半失去主調、使用全新的仿舊家具、只有一件老件其餘都是新的、讓舊件的年代過於集中在同一個時期。
