Books and Records as Decor

A low, open bookshelf. Books are mixed horizontally and vertically, interspersed with vinyl records, a turntable, a ceramic vase, and a framed old photograph; the bookshelf height is only up to the waist, with the wall above left blank or adorned with an abstract painting. The items appear to be in use rather than merely displayed. Avoid: arranging books by color for decoration, filling the bookshelf from floor to ceiling, using fake books and matching sets of hardcover books, placing a large number of small trinkets on the bookshelf.

一面低矮的開放書架。書橫放與直放混合,中間夾著黑膠唱片、一台唱盤、一只陶瓶與一張裱框的老照片;書架的高度只到腰部,上方牆面留白或掛一幅抽象畫。東西看起來是被使用而不是被擺放。避免:把書按顏色排列成裝飾、書架頂天立地塞滿、使用假書與成套的精裝書、在書架上放置大量小擺件。
