打破成规，大胆改变
Our homes would be boring if we all
followed the rules. The great interior design has its personality. The most
important rule to remember in decorating is there are no rules. Here are a few
rules that we can break.
如果大家都遵循同样的规则，那么我们的家居就变得既无聊又无生气。一个好的室内设计是非常个人的，最重要你要记住装饰是——没有任何规则的。这里有几个规则，我们是可以打破的。
Living Room Needs a Sofa
客厅需要沙发
Your living room needs to function
well for the way you live. Putting a sofa at centre is ideal for many, perhaps
you’d consider a cosy mix of chairs and ottomans for reading and conversations
or a daybed for napping and lounging.
你的客厅应该依你的生活方式及需求而装饰。因此，尽管对许多人来说置放沙发是最理想的选择。但是其实你更需要一个舒适的椅子或垫脚软凳来阅读及谈话，或是一张沙发床让你在周末懒洋洋地躺着或小睡。
Everything Must Match
所有东西必须匹配
Just because furniture is sold as
set doesn’t mean you have to use it that way.
Mix a new dining table with a medley of refinished antique chairs. Buy new
sofa you love, but have your favourite chairs recovered instead of settling on
the matching settee. Make choices that reflect your unique personality and
lifestyle.
只是因为家具是一套式出售，不代表你必须所有的家居都是套式。把一个新的饭桌配合一张古董椅子。买一张你喜欢的沙发，换上其他椅套，让它有不规则的搭配感。让你的选择反映出你的独特个性及生活方式。
Small Rooms with Small Furnishings
小空间与小家具
Filling a small room with lots of
small furniture can actually make it feel cramped. You can put oversize
furniture in small spaces. A few well-chosen large pieces can actually make a room
feel bigger.
小空间里摆置许多小家具会使得整个空间很局促。大胆地尝试摆放大型家具在狭小空间里。实际上，几个精心挑选的大型家具能使空间顿时感觉变大。
Wallpaper only for wall
壁纸只能贴墙壁
Wallpaper isn’t just for walls. It
also works well on ceiling and other many things. In a room with lots of
pattern, a white ceiling stands out like a sore thumb. Use wallpaper on the
ceiling to tie the space together. Paper the drawer, dresser or cabinet, or
even plain headboard. You’ll get a custom-looking piece of furniture with lots
of impact.
壁纸不只是贴墙壁。它也可以贴在天花板上及许多东西。在一个花巧的空间里配上白色天花板会显得很突兀。利用壁纸贴在天花板上使它与墙壁互相配合。你也可以将之贴在梳妆台或柜，甚至是床头，你会制作出独一无二的家居。
Paint Small Rooms with Light Colours
小空间应该粉刷浅色
Light colours make a room feel
bigger. But, that doesn’t mean that they are the only option for small spaces.
A small space can handle dark walls too. Dark colours can create an illusion of
depth that expands a room.
无可否认，浅色系能让空间感觉变大和宽。但这不代表浅色就是小空间的唯一选择，小空间也可以漆上深色系。深色系可以扩展空间及深度幻觉。
White Ceiling
白色天花板
Ceiling doesn’t have to be white.
Painting the ceiling a colour adds interest to the room and brings harmony to
the walls and ceiling. Choose a colour similar to the walls, or have the colour
mixed a shade or two lighter or darker.
天花板不一定要白色。为天花板粉刷其他色彩能为整个空间带来和蔼的感觉。选择与墙壁相近的颜色深两度或浅两度的颜色。
