Taiwanese New Chinese Style · Living Room: Dark Wood, White Space, and an Antique

A Taiwanese New Chinese style living room. The walls are warm off-white, and the floor is dark wood. The furniture has simple lines but traditional proportions—a set of low-back, dark walnut sofas with off-white fabric cushions, a square wooden coffee table, and two horseshoe-back armchairs. Decorations are extremely restrained: a small-scale ink painting or calligraphy hangs high on the wall; in a corner, a single antique object, possibly a ceramic vase or a wooden sculpture, sits on a narrow, tall wooden table; the coffee table only has a tea set. Plenty of white space, no superfluous ornaments. The only colors are dark wood, off-white, and a touch of ink black. The light is soft natural light. Avoid: adding a lot of Chinese carvings and rosewood furniture, using gold and dragon/phoenix patterns, filling the walls with paintings and calligraphy, making the space feel crowded.

一間台式新中式的客廳。牆面是溫暖的米白,地板是深色的木質。家具線條簡潔但帶有傳統的比例——一組低背的深胡桃木沙發配米灰色布墊,一張方正的木茶几,兩張圈椅式的單椅。裝飾極為克制:牆上掛一幅水墨或書法,尺幅不大且位置偏高;角落一個窄長的木几上單獨放著一件老物件,可能是一只陶瓶或一尊木雕;茶几上只有一組茶具。大量留白,沒有多餘的擺件。色彩只有深木、米白與一點墨黑。光是柔和的自然光。避免:加入大量中式雕花與紅木家具、使用金色與龍鳳圖案、把牆面擺滿字畫、讓空間顯得擁擠。
