Home Decoration HE title of this book is justi- fied, for the purpose of it is to offer sketches in color and practical printed instructions on the art of decoration with artistic Wall Papers. Without the illustrations, show- ing interiors and the many other ideas presenting wall effects, the in- structions would be less intelligible, and the reader would be less apt to grasp clearly the meaning of the wall treatments described. In the type matter it is our desire to describe in detail the purpose of each room and to show how purpose and style should be related to each other. The wall papers available for ap- propriate decoration are shown in vast numbers, both as to variation in cost and suitability to the par- ticular objects in view. To understand good decoration thoroughly there is no better means of enlightenment than reading and studying the works of authorities on interior decoration. In “Home Decoration” the ablest artists and writers are foremost in its pages. This book is full of inter- est and worth considering from the artistic point of view. Period decoration is often quoted by the connoisseur and designer more as a “title word,” but seldom repeated by one thoroughly conver- sant with the requirements of the average householder of today. Early periods are usually interesting from an evolutionary standpoint, but there are few homes now where an- cestral wisdom will “fit in.” People realize now that it is best to make their homes more beautiful by leading the way in appreciation of the best examples of the Twen- tieth Century Period, which is truly a devotion to a more skilled im- provement of decorative art. WHAT IS WHAT In the majority of the color sketches in “Home Decoration” all the designs and patterns are shown in our new line of sample books. Those few not shown are marked Special, and appear only in our Special Book. Where wide friezes and narrow bands appear it will be necessary to select them as they are shown, for it is not practical to display them in sample book form. The instruc- tions on each page describe the widths and repetition of design, and the colors reproduced are almost perfect. Draperies in harmony with each style of decoration are suggested throughout. It is impossible to serve our patrons with samples of this class of merchandise. Our advice is to make known your wants to our Decorative Department, giving ap- proximately the amount of money you wish to expend on window and door hangings, and in turn an expert will submit a scheme within your price limit. When ordering a given sketch, order by number and state whether the mouldings and ceilings are de- sired. Do not cut the pages from the book, as later you may want them. We give the quantity for a room 15x15 with four openings, and the code word with each plate. In case your room is larger, add one roll, one yard of border and two crowns for each foot, and reduce in the same proportion if smaller. ALFRED PEATS CO. New York Boston Chicago HE requirements of the Hall de- mand that the decoration be some- thing that will make it a habitable room, for we now find the Hall one of the rooms of the house, the stairway being the only visible means of its identity from any other room. While considering it as one of the rooms it nevertheless should assume the dignity of a Hall, and its purpose must be fully understood. Of all rooms in the house it is the one which is capable of effecting most in the way of first impressions. As soon as you enter you are able to judge in a great measure the character of the whole house. If the decorations are well chosen and harmonize nicely with the surroundings you can rest assured of a natural welcome and real hospitality. Boldness of design or elaborate col- orings are fatal to the spaciousness and comfort which ought to characterize the Hall. It demands an artistic color scheme and, as well, a durable one. The Hall serves its purpose when it graduates the transition from the out- side to the various rooms within the house, therefore, it must satisfy exact- ing requirements. By being decorated artistically it will serve its purpose from every point of view. The sketch opposite presents a very artistic Hall treatment. The lower is in Hall a Tiffany blend and paneled with a hand-print effect border, with corner blocks set in. The upper wall suggests a stenciled leather effect. In the frieze part of this decoration there is a particularly artistic treatment introduced. It is composed of an exten- sion and inlay panels. The panels may be set in wherever wanted. It is best to place one panel on each side of each corner in the four corners of the room and in the center of each wall, or next to a high opening, as illustrated. The sketch introduces the following patterns, numbers, codes, prices, quantities and books they appear in.

It is in the drawing room where the ladies of the house “receive” and preside. It is here the whole atmosphere of the apartment is imbued with the gracious expression of woman’s unequaled talents. Usually it is here that you adjourn from the dining room to indulge in the pastime of music and conversation in which all may contribute their share. The Drawing Room is a room of quality, sociability and comfort. The decoration should have elegance in its appearance for no less a reason than it is the ladies’ “audience chamber,” and, therefore, the selection would exact this concession even if it were not for the necessity of one displaying taste in choosing wall papers and draperies. To have such a room one must exer- cise no little amount of care in the choice of design, coloring and arrange- ment. The thought must not be in sac- rificing grace for display; suitability must not be ignored in favor of mere elegance. Above all do not allow your selection to be in bright or showy colors, for there is nothing so ineffective as a gaudy be room is essentially and pre- Drawing Room. It is sometimes well meant, but it oversteps the mark and is a prolific cause of inartistic “mischief” —the injudicious endeavor of the owner to beautify beyond the power of endur- ance. The interior illustrating a Drawing Room is indeed a choice color scheme. The design is so arranged that a single or double panel may be formed. There is also a plain paper—simply the back- ground to be used as a stile. The crown and base part of the decoration intro- duces color in the flower arrangement, while the wall hanging is in a two-toned effect with a simple outline vine which forms the panels. The pattern numbers, drapery sugges- tions, etc., are given below: Sidewall No. 3438 Energy 6040 8 Rolls Crown and Base No. 3439 Book 3 Engage 1208 each 30 Crowns’ Book 3 Stile No. 3521 Divan 4530 4 Rolls Special Ceiling No. 3332 Educate 5436 8 Rolls Book 5 Window Draperies—Shikii Silk Lace Curtains—Ecru Net Door Draperies—Linen Velour SSE ES ay. oe ee (a, oe eel : i.

We also find that the institution of the smoking room in private houses has been somewhat “elbowed out.” There must be at least one room where the smoker can retreat and surround himself with the clinging fumes of the omnipresent cigar or pipe, so let’s permit of the Lounging Room being specially appropriated to this “burning of incense.” In choosing your wall decorations it is always best to exercise a little individual fancy—which if consistent will mean a degree of brightness within reason and not in extreme. Comfort, controlled by restraint, will decide the color note. Think out your color scheme in advance and leave the little things out until the scheme is fairly outlined in its actuality. The Lounging Room sketch offered is a simple but effective treatment. The coloring throughout is neutral and pleasing and very restful. In a room of this kind use plenty of small Oriental rugs, both on floor and couch, a number of pillows and easy chairs. The lower wall consists of a crown decoration printed on a jaspe ground and hung to the continuous trim of the room; above this a modern art frieze is centered, with a moulding on each edge of it. Between the cove and continuous trim, the plain part of the lower wall is used as a stile, giving a splendid background for the frieze.

Lounging Room SKETCH? VI1 HE frieze part of this decoration consists of an extension and panels. The latter may be “set in” on the extension at intervals most pleasing to the individual wishing to use it. As stated in the Hall Sketch, the location of the panels is most effective when placed in that way. The lower wall is printed from an old tapestry print and is paneled with the outer bands of the extension border.

The effect is decorative, and for its purpose there is little to add but what the sketch reveals at first glance. The base band is a part of the cut-out crown— that is, a sufficient quantity of the base border comes attached to the crown and is included in the price of the crown. Same applies to all crown and base borders.

The crown is made in sections five feet in length and at the greatest depth twenty inches. It is to be cut out on the lower edge and hung on a fabric ground. The one shown, how- ever, is on a granite or marble effect, suitable for a breakfast room. The pillars are also five feet long, and with the crown and usual base board, makes it practical to use up to the continuous trim in the room.

Each section is twenty inches wide and five feet high. There are four different sections to the repeat of the swan decoration, making a repeat of eighty inches. The sections are so made that they are interchangeable, and any particular bird can be placed on the wall wherever it looks best. The lower wall is of Sani- tile, and is made in three parts, the top, base and filler, and the widths of the top and bottom are - twenty-four inches and the filler is eighteen inches, so in this way any height desired may be had. The prices quoted on Sanitile are subject to the same conditions as shown on samples in Special Book.

In this sketch we introduce an art border in conjunction with the wide border, filling in the space nicely and also making the effect very decorative. The Dutch frieze is a thirty-foot repeat, six sections, five feet each to the roll. There is also an extension which*enables one to have a frieze in an entire room without any repetition of design—sixty feet in all. Decorative from Every Point of View The lower wall consists of a stenciled Tiffany leather effect with wood panel strips.

HE formation of this example of wall decoration needs but little explanation, as it shows in itself the proper effect. Individual panels may be placed to suit the wall spaces with the use of the plain fabric ground known as the stile. The unusual part of this decoration is in the fact that it is entirely different from the aver- age crown paper, which can only be hung in con- nected panels. This feature alone stamps it as a more modern treatment.

The best method to follow in using this decoration is to panel each wall, the border at the top following the angle of the ceiling and over the base board. The border may run under the windows at the bottom, but in the case of doors it may run up to the opening and continue again on the other side. The motif shows a corner piece which can be used if desired.

One of the new shadow stripes is used as a back- ground stile, and a flat-toned jaspe ground floral paper is used in the “field” of the panels. The shadow-printed panel border is most effective.

To introduce an upper wall relief, the border is repeated (cut out on both edges) about thirty inches from the cove, from cor- ner to corner, which makes it run into the openings. The effect is very agreeable and out of the ordinary.

The whole scheme is also associated with the individuality of the background—a clever dimity or cloth effect. The middle wall panels should not be as small as pic- tured. Our idea was to show those in a miniature form, but in working out same in a room they should reach (singly) from corner to corner or to an opening, leaving an equal margin all around them. The longer panels should have three and the shorter . two ornaments.

No. 9000, THE BIRCHES —a woodland scene—thirty inches wide —ten-foot repeat of pattern—thirty feet to the roll—made in five-foot sections, six to the roll—suitable for Hall, Dining Room, Library. No. 9000 Birches, 900600 Roll. No. 9029, LE SOIR—a water and landscape scene — ten-foot repeat — forty-two inches wide—thirty feet to the roll—made in five-foot sections, six to the roll, suitable for any im- portant room. No. 9029 Le Soir, 900600 Roll. No. 9018, FOREST PANELS—a foliage and woodland scene—sixty inches high and forty inches long— two sections to the repeat of eighty inches—one roll will cover a wall space twenty feet long and five feet high—suitable for a Library or Hall above bookcases and dado. No. 9018 Forest, 900600 Roll—see Sketch 31 for all panel borders. No. 9070, SWISS PANELS — hand-painted — thirty-seven inches wide and nine feet high, although the height can be reduced to six feet without sacrificing the value of the scene. Swiss panels are made in series—twenty-five scenes—each one is beautiful and complete in itself— may be hung as a solid scene by hanging consecutive or in separate panels as illustrated. No. 9070 Swiss, 675450 each. No. 9071, ORIENTAL PANELS —these panels are in the same sizes, . etc., as the Swiss, but depicting scenes of the Oriental type, while the Swiss scenes illustrate the Alps mountains and views of rare scenery in Switzerland. No. 9071 Oriental, 675450 each. No. 5854, THE GRECIAN FIG- URES are for applique work, and there are six different types of fig- ures. They come all cut out and are best suited to a dark green back- ground. No. 5854 Greek, 225150 each. The SWISS and ORIENTAL panels are suitable for a large hall in a country house and as well public buildings, such as theatres, cafes, hotel lobbies and banquet halls. The Grecian figures can be set in between panels or used as a frieze, allowing the series to extend around the entire room at equal distances apart. The figures are twenty-two inches high. While on the subject of this book and Sketch 32, we wish to call par- ticular attention to an auxiliary book, published in conjunction with “Home Decoration,” entitled, “Prac- tical Suggestions to the Decorator.” The latter deals principally with larger interiors, such as Public Buildings, Churches, Lodge Halls and Theatres. Its purpose is to assist in the selection of suitable and attractive color schemes for such buildings mentioned above. Heretofore the individual was un- able to grasp the meaning of the suggestions offered by the decorator. With the aid of this illustrated book both the patron and decorator will be able to reach an agreeable under- standing. : ee Sea
