English Country Maximalism: A House Built Generation by Generation

An English country house style living room that looks like it has been continuously added to over generations. The walls are covered with faded floral wallpaper, hung with generations of accumulated oil portraits and landscape paintings, their gold frames now dulled. The furniture is comfortable and slightly worn: a sunken floral fabric sofa, two mismatched armchairs, a wooden coffee table piled with books and clutter. A worn Persian rug is laid in front of the fireplace. Shelves hold family photos, porcelain, and a set of brass candlesticks. The curtains are heavy printed cotton with tasseled tie-backs. There are dog traces and wear and tear from old items everywhere. The overall atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and unpretentious. Avoid: depicting furniture as brand new and crisp, using modern minimalist elements, making displays appear deliberately designed, using high-chroma vibrant color schemes.

一間英式鄉村宅邸風格的起居室,看起來像經過幾代人不斷添加。牆面貼著褪色的花卉壁紙,掛滿了世代累積的油畫肖像與風景畫,框的金色已經黯淡。家具是舒適而略顯疲態的:一張下陷的印花布沙發、兩張不成套的扶手椅、一張堆滿書與雜物的木茶几。壁爐前鋪著一張磨損的波斯地毯。層架上是家族照片、瓷器與一組銅製燭台。窗簾是厚重的印花棉布,有流蘇綁帶。到處都是狗的痕跡與舊物的磨損。整體氣氛溫暖、鬆弛、不做作。避免:把家具畫成全新挺括、使用現代簡約的元素、讓陳列顯得刻意設計、使用高彩度的鮮豔配色。
