There's a place I've visited in my dreams several times now, a building the interior of which is comprised almost entirely of beige marble and mirrors.
The mirrors typically cover the walls but there's never two mirror walls facing each other.
The marble is sculpted in a fashion somewhere between brutalism and art deco, it's minimalist and always geometric but there's still some artistic features. These features like a triangular relief cut into a pillar serve to emphasise that these are blocks of marble, not just tiles glued onto concrete.
The beige marble creates an old natural feeling, like being in a cave, as opposed to the sterility of white marble.
