A material study / 011
Hinoki & Washi
Warmth, without adding more.
Five quiet rooms share one palette of pale wood, paper, woven cloth and the deeper colour of a shadow.
01 / The palette
Six colors, one atmosphere.
Screen colors are authored interpretations. Material photographs show surface character; they are not calibrated color samples.
02 / Play with the composition
Make quiet feel warm.
Let texture supply the variation. A broad pale wall, a low timber piece and one darker object can be enough. The linen canopy adds softness overhead while keeping the rest of the room spare.

Sources & interpretation
Washi is handmade paper associated with skilled preparation of plant fibres and uses that include screens and room dividers. Paper, pale wood and woven linen give this contemporary interior study its quiet changes of texture.
The Pinterest reference informed the palette and material direction. Room, object and material imagery were created for this study. These are imagined settings, with no affiliation to the fictional interface brands.
