Two Types of Wealth: Two Ways to Spend the Same Budget

Juxtaposition of Two Kinds of Wealth: Two Ways to Spend the Same Budget
Two design schemes for the same room juxtaposed: the left half is the overt approach—glossy stone, gold hardware, large chandelier, matching current-season furniture, high illumination; the right half is the understated approach—matte stone, tarnished brass, hidden lighting, a mix of old and new unmatched furniture, low illumination. Both have the same cost, and the building's openings, proportions, and layout are exactly the same; the difference lies only in the surface treatment of materials, the luster of metals, and the lighting strategy. The purpose of this image is to illustrate: expensive and ostentatious are two different things.
Avoid: Inconsistent architectural elements on both sides, one side clearly appearing cheaper, using different perspectives, the only difference between the two sides being color.

同一個房間的兩種設計方案並置:左半是外顯的做法——亮面石材、金色五金、大型吊燈、成套的當季家具、高照度;右半是內斂的做法——啞光石材、失去光澤的黃銅、隱藏照明、不成套的舊家具與新家具混搭、低照度。兩者的造價相同,建築的開口、比例與格局也完全一樣,差別只在材料的表面處理、金屬的光澤與照明的策略。這張圖的作用是說明:昂貴與炫耀是兩件事。避免:兩側的建築元素不一致、其中一側明顯做得比較廉價、使用不同的視角、兩側的差異只有顏色。
