Tartan: The Amount of Scottish Plaid

A room using tartan. The fabric is thick wool, with a clear weave and slight nap on the surface. The pattern is traditional plaid—deep green, deep blue, dark red, and a small amount of yellow lines interwoven into an asymmetrical grid, all colors are deep and subdued. Its usage is strictly controlled: it only appears on the slipcover of an armchair and a throw blanket draped over a sofa, occupying about 15% of the frame. All other soft furnishings are plain—a cream-colored linen sofa, solid-colored throw pillows. Because of its limited use, the intensity of the tartan becomes a focal point of the room rather than a burden. Paired with dark old wood and a stone fireplace. Avoid: having tartan appear on curtains, rugs, and walls everywhere, using high-chroma bright plaid, making the plaid scale too large, using thin and smooth imitation fabric.

一個使用格子呢的房間。布料是厚實的羊毛,表面有明顯的織紋與微微的絨毛,圖案是傳統的方格——深綠、深藍、暗紅與少量的黃線交織成不對稱的格子,顏色都很深沉。它的用量被嚴格控制:只出現在一張扶手椅的椅套與一條搭在沙發上的毯子,面積約佔畫面的一成五。其餘的軟裝全部是素面的——奶油色的亞麻沙發、素色的抱枕。因為用量少,格子呢的強度成為房間的重點而不是負擔。搭配深色的老木與石砌壁爐。避免:讓格子呢出現在窗簾、地毯與牆面等所有地方、使用高彩度的鮮豔格紋、把格子的尺度做得過大、使用薄而光滑的仿製布料。
