MO 95 Right on Jackson Texture continues to be the darling of the wool floor-covering scene in your home, this (all. Where formerly, you were able to obtain luxurious texture, only in the more expensive noor cover ings, it is now available at budget- comfortable prices. In the lower price levels, you can easily find, not the simulated carpet texture of a year ago, nor the cleverly executed textures achieved by optical illusion, but real texture weaves tnat can stand on their own in competition with the luxury weaves without a single blush. It is Interesting to note that there are several new textured Axminister carpets which have the characteristics ol more expen sive weaves, such as actual carved effects achieved by pulling rows of wool into the back, and by com binations of hard twist and straight yarns. Exciting news for you whose home is in the Provincial theme, is the introduction of three -appealing Provincial carpet styles. None of these three new presen tations have the slightest resem blance to the traditional block hooked designs. These new Pro vincial designs are beguiling in terpretations of documentary Pennsylvania Dutch motifs, with a wonderful hand-loomed appear ance. There s a continuing color su premacy of rose, grey, green and beige for carpeting this fall. How ever, the rose tones are definitely in the mutation "roup, showing decided copper, peach and bur nished tones rather than a pinky rose. Powder colors In green, grey and beige are to be found. Rich greens are still very good and some have even a rather sharp parrot green tone. Many reds are losing their bluish cast while preserving a mgn, bright tone. In two of the three new Provin cial carpets, mentioned previous ly, the colors are all muted and rather dark with a slight "weath ered" look. However, there is not the slightest hint of dullness. Room Planning Of Furniture Advice Given When planning the furniture arrangement of a room, there are several basic principles to re member which will guide you in the right direction. One of the first points to con sider is balance, which means the proper distribution of weight and the best possible use of space. To achieve the proper distribu tion of weight, place the heavy pieces as far away from each other as possible. If all the heavy pieces are on one side of the room takes on a lopheavy appearance. Never furnish a room with alt large pieces as this will result In an overcrowded room and one that is difficult for people to get around. Arrange your Important plec't such as sofas, pianos, console ra dios, large chests, or desks par allel wilh or at right angles to the wall. Never cut off the cor ner of a room by placing a large piece catty-cornered. If you have a sofa on one wall, balance it with an important piece or grouping such as two armchairs with a table between them, on the opposite wall. Arrange the furniture so that several people may carry on a conversation without shouting. If you have a fireplace, plan a grouping in front of It by flank ing it with two chairs and a cof fee table between them, or a loveseat on one side and a chair on the other. Make the most of your win dows by arranging a group of two chairs with a large lamp ta ble between them, or you might fill that space with a decorative, permanent card-table set. Place your major seating pieces so that the person sitting in them will have adequate read ing light, and a table within reach for smoking accessories, refreshments, etc. Keep an open traffic-lane to the doorway so that it isn't ne cessary for one to run an ob stacle race to enter or leave the room. Early American Best For Young Homemakers Early American furniture, which has retained its popular ity for generations, is an ideal style for newlyweds who are fur nishing their first home. Improved Styling and Finishes Lighthcarted in feeling, sim ple in design, and sturdily con structed. It reflects the young American spirit. In recent years, the styling has been refined, and the siift, caramel or honey-color finishes have been substituted for the harsher, reddish finishes which used to be associated with tally American. And, there is a far wider se lection of upholstery labrics than ever before charming Provin cial and IXx-umenlary prints, or smart textured weaves in dec orator colors are seen In all of the ne designs. Simple Inexpensive Accessories Made of native American ma ple or cherry, this style is well within the reach of oung budg ets and by virtue of its simplici ty, inexpensive accessories in cluding cotton draperies, braided or cotton rugs, decorative pieces of brass, copper, or pewter may he used with it to create a com pletely charming room. 0 U r-v Mill " ; 'A ' V - : - , mm si iai iwat i1 aMjaaaaseaee ' i rniinin - - ..
