London Apartment: British style in a small space

A living room in a London apartment, creating English layering within a limited floor area. The room is not large but has high ceilings, original plaster cornices, and a small fireplace. The walls are painted in saturated dark colors, including the woodwork, making the space feel enveloping rather than cramped. Furniture sizes are carefully chosen: a two-seater scroll-arm sofa, a wingback chair, and a small round table covered with a tablecloth, placed close to each other. Vertical space is fully utilized: bookshelves reach the ceiling, paintings are hung high, and curtains drape from below the cornices to the floor. Objects are dense but not large. Lighting consists of four table lamps, with no main ceiling light. The floor is covered by an old rug that fills the space. Avoid: depicting the space as spacious, using large-sized furniture, painting the walls light colors, reducing the density of objects.

一間倫敦公寓的起居室,在有限的坪數裡做出英式的層次。房間不大但天花高,有原始的石膏線腳與一座小壁爐。牆面漆成飽和的深色,連同木作一起,讓空間顯得包覆而不是狹小。家具的尺寸經過選擇:一張兩人的捲臂沙發、一張翼背椅、一張小的圓桌蓋著桌裙,彼此靠得很近。垂直方向被充分使用:書架做到天花、畫掛到很高的位置、窗簾從線腳下垂到地面。物件密集但都不大。照明是四盞桌燈,沒有主燈。地上是一張佔滿地面的舊地毯。避免:把空間畫得寬敞、使用大尺寸的家具、把牆面漆成淺色、減少物件的密度。
