Book excerpt: Excerpt from Interiors Beautiful and the Decoration of the Home Perhaps no feature of the house is of more importance than the hall. It is there, the first impressions of the dwel ling and its inmates are received. It should have an atmosphere of dignity, yet friendliness. It should invite, not repel. It should be generous, and not mean or niggardly. A small, narrow, cramped hall in a house of any preten sion, at once stamps the character of the owner. Nothing lends such dignity and charm to the hall as the staircase, when well designed. And perhaps among all the types none is so attractive as the Colonial, either curving in graceful lines, or in a straight ight to the oor above. The combination of white spindles and dark mahogany is quite irresistable. Many forms of this favorite type are herewith illustrated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Inside the House Beautiful: A Collection of Interior Views Showing Furnishings and Their Arrangement No attempt is made, therefore, in the pages of this book to set forth the principles of interior decoration. The writer believes that, for the prae tical uses of such principles by the owners of modest homes, as much can be learned from good example as from a study of theory. If a few of the illustrations-imply furnishings beyond the realm of the moderate-priced home, it is because there is some application of detail or arrangement which can be made to serve the purposes of owners of less pretentious dwellings.

Download or read book The Art of Interior Decoration Classic Reprint written by Grace Wood and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Interior Decoration If you would have your rooms interesting as well as beautiful, make them say something, give them a spinal column by keeping all ornamentation subservient to line. Before you buy anything, try to imagine how you want each room to look when completed; get the picture well in your mind, as a painter would; think out the main features, for the details all depend upon these and will quickly suggest themselves. This is, in the long run, the quickest and the most economical method of furnishing. There is a theory that no room can be created all at once, that it must grow gradually. In a sense this is a fact, so far as it refers to the amateur. The professional is always occupied with creating and recreating rooms and can instantly summon to mind complete schemes of decoration. The amateur can also learn to mentally furnish rooms. It is a fascinating pastime when one gets the knack of it.

Download or read book The House Beautiful and Useful written by H. Elder-Duncan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House Beautiful and Useful: Being Practical Suggestions on Furnishing and Decoration AT the Publishers' request, I have endeavoured to give in a fairly brief form some notes for the benefit of those who are faced with the problem of decorating 'and furnishing a home. There have been several works issued in recent years with a similar object in View; but their authors, as far as I can discover, have not kept in view the all-important ques tion of cost. To remedy this omission is one of the factors governing the appearance of the present volume. The ideal method of furnishing a home is to employ the services of a talented Architect and Craftsman, so that every piece of furniture and every scheme of decoration is an individual production - the only one of its kind - expressing the owner's taste and individuality. Unfortunately, such an ideal is only possible in the case of wealthy people. Nine-tenths of the population must continue to buy articles of furniture which are made to pattern by the dozen, and to employ schemes of decoration that have their counterpart in many other dwellings. It is the object of the following chapters to give some guidance to the selection of such furniture, and to indicate more or less desirable directions for decorative effort. While the majority of people cannot afford to employ an Architect or Craftsman, the person of average intellect and a certain amount of taste can do much for himself.
