HALLWAY OF THE HOME
WHAT SHALL WE PUT IH IT ! What does one want in a hall, anyway ? An occasional seat; a simple table on which to fling things as one comes in and goes out; somewhere to park coats and hats —and this kept chiefly for men visitors! The family’s hats and other treasures adorning the hall may make it look homely, hut too much “ homeliness ” spells clutter. If a built-in hall cupboard is not possible, have a row of stainless metal hooks in the least obvious corner.
Your table should he of the kind which will go flat against the wall. A console table is admirable, with a wall mirror above it. Have a chair in keeping with the style of the table. Something with a high back looks well in a hall, unless you go very modern and have a severe built-in table and steel frame chair. Diffused lighting always suits the’small hall at night. For sheer good looks, strew the floor with some colourful nigs and have a huge floor jnr, always filled with branching leaves or flowers, standing in a corner where it can be scon but not knocked over.
