Formica Inspirations for New Interior Decorations Formica is the inspiration for new tricks in interior decora tion thanks to newly discover ed adhesives and techniques. The use of Formica on the walls is not new, but the latest methods of installation open up a new realm od ideas for its use. Formerly the only recom mended method of installation was to veneer the Formica sheet to plywood and then attach the entire slab to the wall. This meant that part of the work had to be done in a shop equipped for veneering. Now the Formica sheet can be installed directly to the exist ing wall surface. This has been made possible through the dev elopment of a new Formica ad hesive" for on-the-job installa tions. Today, with this simplified, faster method, home owners can look to this practical and at tractive material as a decorative element in home design. The use of Formica is no long er limited to insitutional build ings and counter tops. Now -it can be tilted on edge and glued to the wall to achieve a num ber of unusual and modern dec orative effects. Formica can be a p p 1 i ed to plaster.
