New Traditional・Study: Built-in Bookshelves and Plain Surfaces

A new traditional study. Three walls feature built-in bookshelves, with classical proportions for the framework—vertical uprights are equally spaced, and each shelf height progressively decreases—but all moldings are simplified to plain surfaces and right angles. The bookshelves, walls, baseboards, and door frames are all painted the same deep dark green. Books are neatly arranged but not overly curated, with a few plain ceramic pieces placed in between. The desk is a long table made of wide oak planks, paired with a leather armchair. A brass desk lamp sits on the table. The fireplace features a simplified limestone frame, without a mantelpiece. The ceiling is left white. The floor is wide plank wood flooring with a plain wool rug.
Avoid: using intricate classical moldings and carvings, painting the bookshelves a contrasting color to the walls, adding ceiling moldings and recessed lights, using floral patterned soft furnishings.

一間新傳統的書房。三面牆是嵌入式的書架,框架的比例是古典的——垂直的立板等距、每一層的高度依序遞減——但所有的線腳被簡化為單純的平面與直角。書架與牆面、踢腳板、門框全部漆成同一種深墨綠。書籍排列有序但不刻意,間隔處放著幾件素色的陶器。書桌是一張寬板橡木的長桌,配一張皮革扶手椅。桌上有一盞黃銅檯燈。壁爐是簡化的石灰岩框,沒有壁爐架。天花留白。地面是寬板木地板配一張素面羊毛地毯。避免:使用繁複的古典線腳與雕花、把書架漆成與牆對比的顏色、加入天花線腳與嵌燈、使用花卉圖案的軟裝。
