Mirrors: framed and slightly frosted

A mirror made in an older style. The mirror surface is slightly gray or bronze-toned antique glass, with slight spots and haziness at the edges. The outer frame is a dark wood molding or a thin brass frame, circular or a rectangle with an arched top. It hangs above a fireplace, dressing table, or entryway, reflecting a part of the space. Avoid: using a clear, frameless large mirror, making the mirror surface a contemporary borderless finish, a mirror so large it fills an entire wall, using mirrors as a modern technique to enlarge space.

一面當年做法的鏡子。鏡面是略帶灰色或古銅色的做舊玻璃,邊緣有輕微的斑點與霧化,外框是深色木線腳或黃銅細框,形狀是圓形或上方收弧的長方形。掛在壁爐、梳妝檯或玄關上方,反射出一部分空間。避免:使用清透無框的大面鏡、把鏡面做成當代的無邊收邊、鏡子大到佔滿整面牆、用鏡子做成現代的放大空間手法。
