Pretty Materials That Will Suit Almost Any Style of Furnishings Are Offered In Profusion.

Assuming that one has much elaborate detail in the carpet and chair coverings, curtains In such rooms should be In plain, simple colors. With a plain carpet and wall paper a good background can be formed for chintz coverings to chairs and similar materials for curtains. The successful drapery or curtain should combine the quiet and gay In such a way that unity, harmony and variety are attained.
