English・Sitting Room: The Small, Warm One

A small, everyday living room, a room where people actually spend time at home. The space is not large, and the ceiling is not high, making it feel enclosed and warm. The walls are painted in a saturated dark color—dark red or deep green, painted together with the woodwork and door frames to eliminate boundaries. A small fireplace has a fire burning. The room is filled with a two-seater sofa and two armchairs, leaving almost no room to move around, with furniture placed very close to each other. Small paintings are densely hung on the walls. A television is in the corner, not hidden. The floor has an old rug and a dog bed. The sofa has many throw pillows and blankets. Lighting consists only of two or three table lamps and the firelight. Avoid: drawing the room spacious and high-ceilinged, using light-colored walls, leaving large gaps between furniture, making the space brightly lit.

一間小型的日常起居間,是家裡真正待著的房間。空間不大、天花不高,因此顯得包覆而溫暖。牆面漆成飽和的深色——暗紅或深綠,連同木作與門框一起漆,消除邊界。一座小壁爐燒著火。房間裡塞著一張兩人沙發與兩張扶手椅,幾乎沒有走動的餘地,家具彼此靠得很近。牆上密集地掛著小幅的畫。角落是一台電視,不加隱藏。地上是舊地毯與一張狗床。沙發上有大量的抱枕與毯子。照明只有兩三盞桌燈與火光。避免:把房間畫得寬敞挑高、使用淺色的牆面、讓家具之間留出大量空隙、把空間照得明亮。
