Fireplace and gilded mirror above: the focal point of the room

A marble fireplace with a gilded mirror above it. The fireplace is made of light-colored marble with simple moldings and a curved firebox opening. Directly above it is a floor-to-ceiling gilded framed mirror, with shell or ribbon carvings at the top of the frame, and the mirror surface is somewhat scratched. This ensemble is the focal point of the room. Avoid: using dark and black stone, replacing the mirror with a hanging painting, making the mirror narrower than the fireplace, using a brand new clear mirror surface.

一座大理石壁爐與上方的鍍金鏡。壁爐是淺色的大理石,線腳簡潔,爐口是弧形的;正上方是一面高及天花的鍍金框鏡,框的頂端有貝殼或緞帶的雕飾,鏡面已經有些花掉。這一組是房間的重心。避免:使用深色與黑色的石材、把鏡子換成掛畫、讓鏡子的寬度小於壁爐、使用全新清澈的鏡面。
