Large fireplace: on a scale that you can walk into

A large farmhouse fireplace. The firebox opening is over 1.8 meters wide and nearly 1.5 meters high, with a massive oak lintel or a thick stone slab spanning above it. The inside of the firebox is blackened brick or stone. The hearth is flush with the floor, allowing one to walk directly into it. A few pottery pieces and candlesticks are placed on the mantelpiece. Firewood is stacked by the wall nearby. The firebox opening has no glass door or modern equipment. Avoid: using a small decorative fireplace, adding a glass door and electronic flames, using a classical fireplace mantel with carvings, raising the hearth to create a pedestal.

一座農舍的大壁爐。爐口的寬度超過一米八、高度接近一米五,上方橫著一根粗大的橡木過樑或一片厚實的石材;爐膛的內側是被燻黑的磚或石。爐床與地面同高,可以直接走進去。爐台上放著幾件陶器與燭台。旁邊的牆邊堆著柴薪。爐口沒有玻璃門與現代設備。避免:使用小尺寸的裝飾壁爐、加入玻璃門與電子火焰、使用有雕花的古典壁爐架、把爐床抬高做成台座。
