Printed Cotton: Large Flowers and a Slightly Shiny Surface

A set of soft furnishings made from traditional English chintz. The fabric is medium-weight plain-weave cotton, treated with a glaze to give it a subtle sheen, not matte. The patterns are large-scale florals—blooming roses, peonies, irises, and intertwining vines. The flowers are nearly palm-sized, and the colors are soft pinks, butter yellows, pale blues, and grass greens, with a cream white or pale beige background. The pattern is dense but with some negative space, not full-bleed. It is used for curtains, an armchair slipcover, and several throw pillows, with the same fabric appearing in three places in the room. Paired with plain linen and dark old wooden furniture. The light is soft window light. Avoid: using matte, unglazed fabric, reducing the scale of the flowers to small prints, using high-saturation bright color schemes, making the pattern full-bleed without negative space.

一組以傳統英式印花棉布製作的軟裝。布料是中等厚度的平織棉,表面經過上光處理而有微微的光澤,不是霧面的。圖案是大尺度的花卉——盛開的玫瑰、牡丹、鳶尾與纏繞的藤蔓,花朵的直徑接近手掌大小,顏色是柔和的粉、鵝黃、淡藍與草綠,底色是奶油白或淡米。圖案密集但有留白,不是滿版。它被用在窗簾、扶手椅的椅套與幾個抱枕上,同一種布重複出現在房間的三處。搭配素面的亞麻與深色的老木家具。光是柔和的窗光。避免:使用霧面無光的布料、把花的尺度縮小成碎花、使用高彩度的鮮豔配色、讓圖案滿版沒有留白。
