Light Japanese Style Kitchen: Hinoki Wood Shelves and Pottery

A light Japanese-style kitchen: Cabinet doors are light-colored, vertically-grained wood, with handles made of slender raw wood strips or brass round bars. Above are open cypress shelves, displaying handmade ceramic bowls, wooden plates, and a few glass cups. The vessels are in shades of gray, brown, and beige, with slightly irregular shapes, showing their handmade quality. The countertop is stainless steel or light-colored solid wood. The walls are tiled with handmade-feeling square tiles, slightly varying in size, with beige grout lines. The floor is light wood. A pot of moss or ferns sits in front of the window. Soft side light during the day. The overall feel is warm and not cold. Avoid: using machine-made, perfectly regular porcelain, large stone slab countertops, perfectly regular tiles, adding metallic luster other than stainless steel.

一間輕日系的廚房:櫃體門片是淺色的直紋木,把手是細長的原木條或黃銅圓棒。上方是檜木的開放層板,擺著手作的陶碗、木盤與幾只玻璃杯,器皿的顏色是灰、褐、米,形狀不完全規則,看得出是手作的。檯面是不鏽鋼或淺色的實木。牆面貼手工感的方磚,尺寸略有差異,縫是米色的。地板是淺木。窗前有一盆山苔或蕨類。日間柔和的側光。整體溫潤而不冰冷。避免:使用機器製的整齊瓷器、檯面使用石材大板、磁磚做成完全規則、加入不鏽鋼以外的金屬光澤。
