3. FIXTURES AND FURNISHINGS
我們的專家一致認為，一個優美客廳需具備3大 要素：一張優質梳化、一張咖啡桌和安排妥當的燈光。 「梳化是客廳重點：你會在此放鬆身心、招呼客 人、跟親友互動。」Timothy Oulton說：「如果你投 資一張理想又合適的梳化，便可因應其款式再挑選其他 傢具和家品。」Kenny指出，一張優質舒適的梳化能讓 你用上好幾年。 咖啡桌除了能用作擺放收藏品、咖啡或美酒的桌 面空間，亦能為客廳風格定調。Sophie表示，以金屬、 黃銅或大理石打造的奪目設計，能跟中性色調的牆壁和 地板形成悅目對比。Timothy亦推薦行李箱式咖啡桌， 能提供額外的儲物空間。 最後，仔細考量燈光安排，不同時間的日光變 化，以及你想利用燈具營造哪種情調。可裝設一盞 款式奪目吊燈，再加入檯燈和地燈作輔助。Sophie 建議：「在小空間內可改用壁燈，以騰出更多地板空 間。」Peggy很欣賞Sonder Living的黃銅和黑色燈具 設計，Timothy則推介Selenite水晶吊燈，能營造情調 之餘又能吸引視線。 電視機又應怎麼處置？專家認為應將之隱藏起 來。電視是大部分家庭必備的娛樂設備，但亦會阻礙

A solid living room, our experts unanimously agree, is comprised of three key elements: a good sofa, a coffee table, and well-considered lighting. “The sofa is the centrepiece of any living room – it’s where you relax, entertain, connect with people,” says Timothy Oulton. “If you invest in the right sofa, then everything else in the room can be built from there.” Get a sofa that’s comfortable, advises Kenny, and that will last for years to come. Coffee tables, meanwhile, anchor a living room, apart from creating surface space for collectibles as well as holding mugs of coffee (or glasses of wine). Statement pieces in metal, brass, or marble are great contrasts against the neutral tones of the walls and flooring, says Sophie. Timothy also suggests trunks, which helpfully double as storage. Finally, thoroughly consider lighting – from the way natural light changes throughout the day, to the mood you want to evoke with artificial light. Consider a key pendant light and complement it with ambient lighting through table and floor lamps, suggests Sophie, while “for a small space, I would recommend wall lights instead of table lamps to free up room.” Peggy recommends Sonder Living for their brass and black light fixtures, while Timothy recommends their Selenite pendant made of crystals – a mood setter and showstopper in one.
