Stone and Stucco: White Walls

A Southeast Asian white wall. The surface is lime or cement plaster, in a warm white or very light beige, with slight hand-troweled marks and tropical weathering. The lower section of the wall may have a waist-high dark wainscoting or cement patterned tiles. The wall surface is mostly empty, providing a background for dark wood structures and furniture. Avoid: using smooth, flat latex paint, painting the wall in colors, adding wallpaper and decorations, allowing the wall to be filled with furniture and hangings.

一面東南亞的白牆。表面是石灰或水泥的抹面,顏色是溫暖的白或極淡的米,有輕微的手抹痕跡與熱帶氣候造成的斑駁;牆的下段可能有一道及腰的深色護牆或水泥花磚。牆面大部分是空的,提供深色木構與家具的背景。避免:使用光滑平整的乳膠漆、把牆面漆成彩色、加入壁紙與裝飾、讓牆面被家具與掛飾佔滿。
