Going the Practical Way

A richer, more luxurious look combines with functional comfort and carefree upkeep in today’s approach to home decorating. Whether the budget is modest or lavish, and whether the furnishing or refurbishing project is do-it-yourself or with decorator assistance, homemakers demand not only more elegance but more practicality. Stimulated by modern mobility in travel, the tendency to draw upon a world-wide cultural heritage increases, giving rise to a rich variety of decorating and design ideas. From softened modern to gracious traditional, from American Colonial and Federal to international mixtures, mellow beauty is the rule. There’s Decorating “Plus” Yet the very interests and opportunities of modern living, which stimulate the preference for a gracious, elegant look in the home, also leave little time for struggling with maintenance problems. Today’s furniture and furnishings, whatever the style, must be compatible with ease of care. Modern materials, fabrics and finishes triumphantly meet the need. And they provide many a decorating plus, too. Miracle yarns and finishes result in curtains and draperies that resist everything from soil to moths, clean easily and require little ironing. Plus values come from the fact that they’re easy to hang and hold their shape. On the floor go soil - resistant carpets and area rugs with the resilience and strength to withstand hardest use.

Designs Showing International Mood

More variety to choose from and more value for the money appear to be the twin themes of the spring ’63 selection of furniture and furnishings. Designs show a distinct international flavor. Traditional influences inspire styles executed in modern materials and contemporary colors. Strongly represented are American Colonial and Federal; formal European 17th, 18th and early 19th century; Italian classic and provincial; and softened, enriched contemporary and transitional. Personal Interests ™**“ Are Moving In —— — Spanish, Greek and Mediterranean themes in general provide new decorative treatments, new ideas in room accessories. Perhaps the newest trend in the treatment of home space is away from the catch-all family room toward personal-interest rooms — dens, music rooms, libraries, for instance. Both decorators and furniture manufacturers have come up with inspirations to make this trend possible. Since space is at a premium in

ties and furniture finishes are made to ward off spots and stains and stay new looking. Color, Texture Successes Perhaps the most widespread “side benefit” of rugged and carefree fabrics and finishes is in the field of color and texture. Luxurious patterns and textures that used to be associated with delicacy are, nowadays, as good as they are beautiful when it comes to soil-and-wear resistance. Modern yarns and processes

most homes, more “single purpose” rooms mean that something has to give, elsewhere, and fresb ideas are offered for more dou-ble-duty rooms. Some suggested combinations, for which the fur* nishings are spring-available, are living - dining, bed - sitting, workplay. Trend la Soft For Seating Walnut and fruitwoods are widely used in spring’s furniture afj ferings, as are mahogany an<f maple. Newest tone for wood fin-, ishes is medium brown, either a little darker or a little lighter than usual. Expensive - looking hardware, with a hand-crafted air, carries out the value theme. Brilliant colorings share interest with the softer tones in upholstery for chairs and sofas. Contrasts, effective and decorative, are created by the use of splashy florals side by side with muted stripes and solids. Seating emphasizes cushiony comfort and graceful contours. Soft feeling—liferally—is extended to a softer look in design, with curving lines, airy-effect carving

Surface interest and color excitement go to the floor, in carved raised-and-lowered looks, and in a variety .of rich hues. “OLD HOCKING CHAIR” HAS MODERN ROLE “Old rocking chair’s got me” is, figuratively at least, the theme song more and more people are singing this season. With rocking recommended as a healthful form of mild exercise and relaxation, the rocking chair continues its strong comeback in fashion and comfort. News for spring is a wide array of mechanically equipped styles that provide not only smooth, silent rocking action but free and easy swiveling, thanks to sturdy metal swivels combined in one fixture with resilitent metal springs. . « •* The "Rock-or-Swivel” mechanism is now incorporated in chair styles that blend with every type of room, in a choice of platform, high-leg and low-leg rockers.

Rattan Rafes For Comfort Ratfan furniture is making Itself at home in every room of the house this spring, offering the triple advantges of comfort, attractive design and budgetprice. The comfort is mainly due to the addition of buoyant foam rubber cushioning to both imports and contemporary styles turned out here at home. High fashion touch is carried out by the rich materials used for upholsterytextured silks in vivid shades, gay Gauguin prints, and blended fabbrics combining cotton with synthetic yarns in interesting new weaves. Designers are using rattan for good basic pieces that can serve as the attractive nucleus of a newlywed couple’s first home, then be relegated to the family room or patio when the household expands. They are also turning out "fun” pieces — lighthearted Polynesian designs, romantic butterfly-backed lounge chairs, “gazebo” beds with woven rattan forming a canopy with a peak like the old summerhouse. One of the nation’s top contemporary designers turns out sleek occasional rockers and chairs composed of a woven rattan basket sling placed in an exposed walnut frame. One of his most outstanding items is a gently curved pair of rattan sofas that can be used separately or together to define a conversation area. These are upholstered in foam rubber cushioning and, depending upon the choice of fabric, can fit into the most sophisticated of decors. FOR FLATTERY Fashion to flatter is the softlyshaped coat with lightly indented front and smooth, gently eased or cape-full back. NAUTICAL PLOT Sportswear plots a nautical look for spring with artful use of red, white and blue. Most often, white and blue predominate, with red as an accent.
