Dark Wood Paneling: Waist-High or Full Height

A wall with dark wood wainscoting. It is a traditional frame-and-panel structure, with rectangular panels framed by thin wooden strips; the height reaches the waist or all the way to the ceiling. The wood is dark brown oak or painted dark green, with years of wear and hand-rubbed patina on the surface. If there is an exposed wall above, it is painted in a matte dark green or dark brown. Avoid: using white and light-colored wainscoting, making the wall surface flat and undivided, using modern simplified square frames, making the wood color too light and losing its sense of gravitas.

一面深色木護牆板的牆。它是傳統的框板結構,由細木框圍出一格一格的長方形嵌板;高度做到腰部或一路到天花。木材是深棕的橡木或漆成墨綠的木作,表面有多年的磨損與手澤。上方若有露出的牆面,是深綠或深褐的霧面漆。避免:使用白色與淺色的護牆板、把牆面做成平整無分割、使用現代簡化的方框、讓木色過淺失去沉重感。
