兩個步驟呈現出抽象派藝術與工業結合面貌
It seems odd to combine these two beloved interior themes. After all, the industrial style has a knack of exposing structures such as pipes and beams for a raw, unfinished look while the minimalist school of thought has the aim of burying excessive details for a clean and refined aesthetic. But because both themes strive to be fuss-free, the result of blending them can still be a home unlike any other. Here’s how to build a minimalist-industrial look.
將這兩種深愛的內部主題結合起來似乎有點奇怪。畢竟，工業風格的巧妙之處在於其展現出來的結構，例如管道和樑呈現出來的原始的、未完成的樣子，然而極簡抽象派藝術的目標是掩蓋乾淨與精緻美感的過分細節。但是因爲兩個主題儘量避免不倫不類，這兩者的結合仍然能夠呈現出與其他家裝不同的風格。下面來看一下如何將家裏裝修成極簡抽象派藝術與工業藝術相結合的樣子。
1. Go back to basics with your floor
迴歸到樓層的基礎元素
A major feature of the industrial style is concrete screed flooring, better known as the material lining the ground of your HDB void deck and corridors. Rough on its own, it’s usually topped off with a concrete sealer to make its surface smoother and prevent dirt from being trapped in its pores while preserving the distressed look it’s valued for. The material is still relatively prone to wear and tear, so don’t be alarmed if you spot hairline cracks appearing over time.
工業風格的一個主要特點就是混凝土的平整地面，一般都認爲除了陽臺和走廊之外，混凝土是鋪在建屋發展局建造的房子地面的最好材料。混凝土本身很粗糙，混凝土的表面一般會鋪上一層混凝土密封劑來使表面更加光滑，阻止塵埃堵塞在孔洞之中，還能保護其本身很重要的粗糙外觀。這種材料相對還是比較容易磨損和開裂的，所以當你看到一段時間以後出現的裂縫的時候，也不要擔心。
2. Keep the tones neutral
2.保持各種色調的中立
A black and white colour scheme isn’t highly sought after just because of how timeless it is, but also because of how well it pairs with the understated appeal of minimalism. But don’t be afraid to create your own interpretation of the style with other colours – as long as the hues are kept neutral. In the example above, the white wall is playfully grinded into to create an ivory backdrop that’s in equal parts raw and nuanced. It’s further proof that the ideals of both styles can co-exist.
黑白搭配的顏色並不是非常推薦的，只是因爲這種顏色總是一成不變的，但也是因爲這種色調與極簡抽象派藝術推崇的低調樸素太一致了。但是也不要害怕用其他顏色來創造出自己喜愛的風格——只要元素控制在中等程度即可。在上述的例子中，白色的牆面上就像是孩子做遊戲一樣塗抹鑲嵌成爲乳白色的背景，這一背景的粗糙與微妙之處相對等。這就進一步證明兩種風格在理想狀態下市可以共存的。
