I. INTERNATIONAL-INTER PERIOD DECORATION


By far the most satisfactory method of furnishing, either for the elaborate or the

simple house or apartment, is that combining nationalities and periods which

properly accompany each other as under sufficiently dose decorative influences.


Of such importance is this plan that it has been fully developed and

exemplified in Part III. Its title indicates the scope of this method, its

infinite variety.


Full provision is also there made for period furnishing where the

walls must necessarily be simple, owing to the property being rented,

or for other reasons.


Many new houses and apartments are finished interiorly with wood-work

of simple, classical design appropriate to almost any epoch. Doors and

windows are usually in good proportion, the former being simply paneled.


These features are so unobtrusive and non-committal that they may be left as they are,

and with a treatment of the walls either in simple, tasteful style, or adapted more closely

to the period chosen, furnishing may be in accordance with almost any period style.

In many conditions and for non-plethoric purses this is an excellent method.This is a various,

adaptable, and inexpensive style of decoration enabling those occupying small houses or

apartments, if possessed of taste and judgment, to secure excellent and artistic results by

simple means.


II. The one period method - in this styles from only one period or part of the world are

used.This is a various, adaptable, and inexpensive style of decoration enabling those

occupying small houses or apartments, if possessed of taste and judgment, to secure

excellent and artistic results by simple means.


IV. THE NON-COMMITTAL METHOD In many cases families possess much

modern furniture, including wicker, of various kinds and of no particular

style, and there is' no alternative to using it.


While it is not an. advisable method of furnishing to be deliberately

chosen, where it already exists and the owners have taste the results

may be very charming and homelike.


Frequently it is possible to weed out gradually the less

desirable pieces and substitute more desirable things.


Many hints may be taken from the "Modern Method," or a

transformation effected by easy stages to Inter-period style.


If either is done the decision made should be adhered to, as

a fluctuating policy hinders good results here as elsewhere.


The improvement of our home-life and surroundings throughout the

country, on the farm, and in remote districts as well as in the centers of

civilization should be a purpose dear to all of us.


On holidays and aimiversaries no better gift to relatives and intimate friends

could be found than, pieces of furniture or furnishings which are good in

themselves and appropriate to the surroundings of those receiving them.


As it is to the rising generation that we must look for improvement, so

every boy and girl should be encouraged to take pride in the rooms they

occupy and be helped in their development.


Great insistence has been laid upon the need of “expressing

one's own personality in one's surroundings."


' The counsel when so baldly stated is apt to lead to self-

consciousness, artificiality and a false striving to be different,

resulting merely in freakishness of effect.


If, with sincerity, we Endeavour simply to make our surroundings as beautiful as in. us lies,

as homelike, as consistent with our needs and our social standing, we shall in the end find

that we have expressed ourselves- as we are, and not according to some vain imagining of

what our personality is.


Of the four methods of furnishing above described it will be

seen that two contemplate the use of Period Furniture.


There seems to be an impression among many who have given no particular attention

to the subject that there is something esoteric about Period Furniture, that it is beyond

their comprehension-and also that the furniture itself is beyond their pocketbooks.


Both suppositions are probably wrong for readers of this book. Half the time spent on

bridge, motors or "movies ' for a few weeks would give them much valuable information,

and for those who cannot afford genuine antiques there are always faithful reproductions.


"But why should I trouble

myself about the styles of the

past?" may be asked. Because

there we find a beauty

unapproached by modem

designers. With the decadence

of the Empire style the sixth of

great furniture- design died,

and we still await its

resurrection.
