- FIXTURES AND FURNISHINGS
Naturally, the dining table and chairs are the
main players in this space. Both YC and Johnny advise
selecting these first and then building the space around
them. In smaller spaces, curves can give the impression
of being inside a much larger area, drawing the eye to
their sinuous silhouettes and away from the rigid lines
and corners of the room. For this reason, circular dining
tables work particularly well, while also being practical.
“One of the key trends I have noticed in dining room
design is bespoke furniture,” says Johnny. “This allows
you to tailor the experience, from the table and the
chairs to the lighting and the accessories.”
Mismatched chairs – while maybe not to everyone’s
taste – make a stylish statement, while at the same
time allowing you to assert your identity in a room that
welcomes it. The look is best achieved by sticking to a
singular colour or selecting seats with similar silhouettes,
or, for a low-impact approach, try changing up just those
chairs at the head of the table. Regardless of whether
the set is identical or not, YC suggests opting for cane
or rattan furniture, unless opulence is your aesthetic, in
which case velvet works beautifully.
Illuminations are equally important, especially
when it comes to creating the appropriate mood for the
dining space. Ensure adequate light sources that offer
餐桌和餐椅當然是飯廳主角。YC和Johnny也建議先
選好餐桌椅，再就著所選款式裝飾飯廳。在小空間內，
曲線有助提升空間感，讓視線停留在蜿蜒的線條上，避
開飯廳內的筆直線條和角落位置。圓飯桌就是理想而實
用的方案。Johnny表示：「其中一個飯廳設計潮流就是
訂造傢具，讓你主導自己的用餐體驗，由桌椅、燈光到
配件也盡在掌握。」
絕非人人也能接受的撞款椅子，格調時尚，又能
展現個人特色。最佳處理方法是只選用單一色調，或挑
選形狀相近的椅子，如想低調點，可以只更換餐桌「主
席位」的椅子，其他則保留相同款式。不論你的選擇如
何，YC建議你可考慮藤製產品；如你偏愛富麗堂皇的格
調，絲絨傢具也是不俗之選。
