Temple Plaza Red and Gold · Living Room: Red Appears on a Single Item

A living room translated with temple vocabulary, but with extremely restrained use of color. The entire space features off-white walls, cement gray floors, and dark wood furniture, creating a serene color palette. Red appears only on one item—a single armchair in saturated vermilion, or a large framed textile with red background and gold characters, becoming the sole visual focal point of the room. Gold appears in very small amounts: the brass frame of a coffee table, the copper-colored stand of a lamp, a small incense burner. All other soft furnishings are off-white, gray, and dark wood. Because the proportion of red and gold is minimized, they appear even more intense. The light is soft natural light. Avoid: having red appear on more than one large object, adding a large amount of gold decoration, using religious totem wallpaper, depicting the space as a gaudy Chinese style.

一間以廟宇語彙轉譯的客廳,但用色極為節制。整個空間是米白牆面、水泥灰地板與深木家具,色調沉靜。紅只出現在一件東西上——一張飽和硃紅的單人扶手椅,或是一大幅紅底金字的裱框織品,成為全室唯一的視覺焦點。金則以極少量出現:茶几的黃銅邊框、燈具的銅色支架、一只小香爐。其餘的軟裝全部是米、灰與深木。因為紅金的比例被壓到最低,它們反而更強烈。光是柔和的自然光。避免:讓紅色出現在兩個以上的大面積物件、加入大量金色裝飾、使用宗教圖騰壁紙、把空間畫成濃豔的中國風。
