BY ED SMEAD
GOOD DESIGN in home
interiors can’t be achieved
by guesswork. It comes
from harmony
of color and
line and style,
and the selec-
tion of furnish-
ings that are in
other and with
the room. A beautiful
dining roomsuite, for in-
stance, will lose much of
its charm and beauty if it
is crowded into too small
a space.
Whenever you’re consid-
ering the purchase of an
important item of home
furnishings, whether it’s a
dining room suite, a sofa
or even an individual chair,
it’s a good idea to make a
sketch of diagram of the
room plan.
Often the eye is deceived
in estimating the size of a
room or wall space—even
one you live with everyday.
A space you think of as
about six feet in length may
be only five or less.., and
that can make an tremen-
dous difference in select-
ing furniture.
When you talk to us about
a room plan, it’s also a
good idea to make a note
of any special architectur-
al features, of the general
architectural style, and of
the approximate size of
existing major pieces of
furniture. That way we can
help you choose the right
pieces for the space avail-
able, and the overall decor-
ative scheme.
