Flooring: Deeper or Shallower Than the Wall, But It Must Be Chosen

A floor with a clear relationship to the wooden wall. Two approaches: one is the same dark wood as the wall, turning the entire space into a continuous wooden box, with the boundary between floor and wall distinguished only by a recessed shadow gap; the other is a dark gray stone or concrete, one step lighter than the wall, allowing the dark color of the wall to be supported by a slightly brighter base. It cannot be in between, appearing neither the same nor different. Avoid: using flooring of similar lightness but different material than the wooden wall, having the floor wood color slightly different from the wall, adding protruding baseboards, changing flooring materials in different rooms.

一片與木牆有明確關係的地板。兩種做法:一是與牆同一種深色木,整個空間變成一個連續的木盒子,地與牆的界線只靠一道內凹陰影縫區分;二是比牆淺一階的深灰石材或水泥,讓牆面的深色被一片略亮的底托住。不能落在中間變成似同非同。避免:使用與木牆明度接近但材質不同的地坪、讓地板的木色與牆差一點點、加上外凸的踢腳板、在不同房間更換地坪材質。
