\ A ! HEN YOU bought the lamps
’ » for your room, did you buy
them because they were pretty and
because they appealed to you, or
did you »elect them especially to go
with the style and furniture of
your room?
Perhaps this sounds like a foolish
question, but strange as it may
leem, many lamps have been
bought In this very way. Like every
thing else In the room, the lamps
must have a relation to it. They
must harmonize or contrast In col
or, but they must have been chosen
with the room In mind.
An elaborate lamp with an ornate
base and ornamented satin shade
Is out of place In an early Amer
ican room done with maple furni
ture. A beautiful modern lamp Is
Just as out of place in an eighteenth
century room.
Now, what about the colors on
your lamp shades? Are they light?
Or do they have a color that is not
used anywhere else in the room?
Are they easy to clean or have
you noticed for some time how
shabby the shades look?
Have you grown tired of the
lamps? Or, do you still like them
Just as much as when you first put
them in the room?
Yes, these are some of the ques
tions you must answer with regards
to lamps in your rooms. It may be

Rules for U nity, Design
Since current trends show that we
are getting away from overhead
light fixtures, it's well to know Just
what to look for in lamps.
Lamps are still fairly new, and
for this reason it Is often difficult to
find good design and features that
adhere to the needs for unity. One
thing upon which most authorities
agree Is that lamps should be much
larger than they are. They should
also be inconspicuous because light
in Itself is so conspicuous.
Floor lamp: are to be preferred
in many instances to table lamps
because they are more convenient
than table types. Lamps that can be
regulated as to the amount of light

These Things Are
Good Taste in Lamps
Landscapes, portraits and flowers '
belong in pictures on the wall, not ;
on your lamp shades. F rilly lamp
shades may be dangerous; certainly |
they are hard to keep clean. You |
can’t do wrong if your lamp shades |
are monastically simple.
If you have lamps with a lot of ,
design on them, it’s simple enough j
to solve the problem by using a flat !
oil paint on them if the shade is of 1
composition, paper or a material
that takes the paint. You may even !
use water paints on some lamp
shade materials.
Silk or pleated parchment shades '
go best on fine bases. Split reed, j
rough fabrics, and other textured !
materials should be used on bases !
of a sturdier type.
There are many choices for the ,
bases of lamps. Pottery is very
popular right now, but so are ala- |
baster, plastic, metal or wood. j
Bases should not be made from an j
art object or a statue. These are
important enough to use alone.

Braid or tape may be used to

Here’s Guide to Use
For Choosing Lamps
If you have fine rooms, your best
choices in bases are brass, copper
and silver. For sturdy rooms, choose
pewter, aluminum or tin.
Glass, pottery and wood lamp i
bases may look either refined or
sturdy depending upon their quality
and make, so they may be used in
either type of room.
Have the shades as even as pos
sible if you are furnishing an ornate
room such as Louis the Fourteenth.
There will be enough of the fancy
in the room so that the lamps will
be a relief.
Indirect floor lamps are suitable
only in modern rooms. For others,
select adjustable functional lamps
Modem rooms also make great
use of pottery lamps with deep or
