Difference from English Eclectic: White and Dark

Two English-speaking styles, both using old furniture, juxtaposed for comparison. On the left is English Eclectic: furniture is unpainted dark old wood, walls are saturated historical colors, textiles are rich floral and plaid patterns, overall dark, dense, weighty, items are inherited and thus not a matching set. On the right is Shabby Chic: furniture shapes from the same era, but all painted white and distressed at the edges, walls are off-white, textiles are faded light rose prints and white cotton, overall bright, light, loose. The furniture silhouettes are actually similar; the difference lies entirely in color and lightness. The image presents this contrast with the same furniture arrangement. Avoid: making the two look identical, changing the furniture arrangement and shapes, adding dark and saturated colors to Shabby Chic, making English Eclectic bright.

兩種都用舊家具的英語系風格並置對照。左側是英式折衷:家具是未上漆的深色老木頭,牆面是飽和的歷史色,織品是濃重的大花與格紋,整體暗、密、有重量,東西是繼承來的所以不成套。右側是破舊復古:同樣年代的家具形體,但全部漆成白色再磨出邊,牆面是灰白,織品是洗到褪色的淺玫瑰印花與白棉,整體亮、輕、鬆散。兩者的家具輪廓其實接近,差別完全在顏色與明度。畫面以相同的家具配置呈現這個對照。避免:讓兩者看起來相同、改變家具的配置與形體、在破舊復古加入深色與飽和色、讓英式折衷變亮。
