Details of a Room
A well-decorated and furnished room depends on its details. In other words, it is not successful unless due attention has been given to all the etceteras which are, in reality, necessities. At the first glance, a visitor takes in the colour-scheme and furniture. There he looks for comfort and homeliness. And these, if they are present, arc entirely the result of attention to detail. The rugs, waste-paper baskets, lampshades, coal-scuttle, and a number of other small necessities must harmonise with the room, and yet be sufficiently original to make an impression of their own on the visitor’s mind.
If they are drab and ordinary they will give the room a cheerless effect. If they are gawdy or over-ornate they will clash with the general atmosphere of the room. They are, in fact, all important.
