Wood Floors Offer Wide Style Choice | One of nature's most useful gifts j to man it a front runner In the I home decoration ityic parade toI day. interior designers say. They refer to wood—specifically j Io o«k and other handsome hard-' I woods, the ovcrwhelmiifg favor-1 itet for floors in new homes. A big factor in hardwood's pre eminence among flooring mater-i tals is the wide variety in which lit is available A specific kind can be chosen to accommodate any home buyer's budget. In basic styles there is a choice ' of strip, plank, parquet and block [Strip, the most extensively used.| also is lowest in cost. It is, in j fact, probably the most economic-, al of any permanent-type residential flooring. A top grade strip, oak floor can be obtained for less ' than the cost of good quality soft i floor covering for a similar area. Styling versatality characterizes strip flooring. It is "at home in | a house of any style or price class. . „ Random width plank floors are I particularly appropriate for ranch] and colonial style homes. iadM vidual planks composing a floor can be selected from factory widths ranging from 3 to 9 inches. ’ Parquet floors, the most elab-| orate type, are best suited to formal surroundings and the more luxuriously appointed homes. I Unit-block flooring is a modern, simplified form of parquetry. It is produced in squares and rectangles, each block being made up of several short pieces.

Check Cabinet's Panel Quality What's behind the paint? This question could well be asked by families interested in kitchen cabinets. Life of the finish depends greatly on what's underneath. Some surfacing materials will ■cause finishes to blister, peel or crack. Many -leading manufacturers 01 kitchen cabinets use hardboards for cabinet parts and doors, having found that finishes stay in best condition on this grainless, dense, dent-resistant, rust-proof material Since appearance is of high importance to families when they buy new kitchen cabinets, it will pay them to consider behind-the-scenes materials used ih the construction.

Homemaker Can Boost Efficiency Homemaker* will find that daily chore* can be completed in less time if storage facllitiea are located near the area where the material or equipment U to be used For instance, stationery and other writing supplies should be kept in or near the desk; condiments and cooking utensils near the range and food preparation area; laundry supplies adjacent to the appliances; and bathroom paraphernalia next to the lavatory. Properly-placed storage cabinets and shelves can overcome poor design and layout. These facilities can be installed close to their point of use by utilizing a new "working wall” system, in which vertical lockstrips are located between each 2' x 8' hardboard panel to support a variety of shelves and fixtures. It's a simple task to put a cabinet in the receation room, shelves in the laundry center or kitchen, or a smooth-surfaced desk in the bedroom. More than 60 different fixtures and eccessories are available for use with this system. A new adap- I ter permits the use of 11 of these fixtures with heavy-duty perfor- 1 a ted hardboard, whose familiar pattern or rows of holes spaced one inch apart makes a smart accent wall in almost any room of the house. Included among the fixtures that may be used with quarter-inch peg-board are a variety of wire shelves and two types of plastic drawer units. Used on one wall of a recreation room, bedroom or kitchen, heavy duty peg-board can be used to store all sorts o( items only steps from where they will be used. v Perforated hardboard, of course,i can be painted to blend with the prevailing color scheme.

Small Kitchen Is Convenient In ‘Rec’ Room ■■■■■■■■■■MBiaWBIMgWaMMWBMMNIWWWNaMMNWnWWBMWWBMnMaN' . - — ■■■ ■ I A small kitchen area in a corner, of the recreation room is a practi- [ cal addition to this informal living ■ area if a family enjoys entertaining. Bridge parties and teen-age i “record hops” are easy to arrange: if convenient cooking and clean-up facilities are located within a few; steps of any spot in the "rec” i room.

Ceramic Tile Comes In Three Basic Types There are three basic types of ceramic tile-glazed, unglazed and quarry. The color of unglazed tile is the result of clay, flint, feldspar and other ceramic materials to intense heat. The color extends all the way through the tile. Glazed tile is a colorless bisque, which is sprayed with a liquid; glaze. Firing in a kiln brings out the color of the glaze. Quarry tile is an especially rugged material made of unrefined clays. Its color depends on the hue of the raw material and the intensity and duration of firing.
