Spend Money Only Where It Can Be Seen and Touched

A space where budget is allocated according to frequency of contact. Money is spent on areas that are touched by hand or viewed up close: door handles are solid metal, switch panels are custom-made, countertop edges are beveled, drawer slides are soft-closing, and sofa armrests are upholstered in genuine leather. Money is saved on areas that are viewed from a distance or not touched: the back and sides of the sofa use fabric of the same color scheme, the interior of cabinets is white melamine board, the ceiling is the most common calcium silicate board, and unseen storage hardware uses standard specifications. The image simultaneously presents close-up details and the overall view, illustrating this allocation. Avoid: distributing the budget evenly across all areas, using cheap hardware in areas that are touched by hand, allowing budget-saving areas to appear in the visual focal point, making the interior of cabinets also high-spec.

一個依照接觸頻率分配預算的空間。花錢的地方是手會碰到、眼睛會近看的:門把是實心的金屬、開關面板是特製的、檯面的邊緣做了導角、抽屜的滑軌是緩衝的、沙發的扶手包的是真皮。省錢的地方是遠看或碰不到的:沙發的背面與側面改用同色系的織布、櫃體的內部是白色美耐板、天花是最普通的矽酸鈣板、看不見的收納五金用一般規格。畫面同時呈現近景的細部與整體,可以看出這個分配。避免:把預算平均分配到所有地方、在手會接觸的位置使用廉價五金、讓省錢的地方出現在視線焦點上、把櫃體內部也做高規格。
