Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1907-04-28

in forest green. one that is restful to the
eyes and suggestive Of the nature world.
This model shows a mahogany wainscoung
five feet from the floor. The ceiling is
done In panel effect. with mahogany strips
and a frieze with fruit effects for ceiling
border.
Reception Halls the same.
While changes in fresco styles have been
made In dining room, library and hall ef
fects, there has not been much Of a change
In the reception rooms, where the Louis
XIV or Empire style still obtain to a large
degree. The new style referred to is known
as the art noyeau" among the decorators.
Libraries and halls are being treated ex-
tensively in deep oriental or red effects.
More attention is being given this class
OF decoration in Omaha this season than
ever before, some Of the decorations being
lavish. while others are Of the modest
class. Tho work has become a hne art in
home decoration and the dollars soon count
up in its Indulgence. For those whose
means will not afford the expensive fresco
work, there is tinting which is being used
in soft and pretty effects.
For More Modest Homes.
Many pleasing suggestions are to be had
for interior decorations of moderately
priced houses in the way Of papers and
paints. Some Of the paint and paper men
have design books showing just how a
dining room. bed room. hail. living room
or any part Of the interior may be deco
rated to suit the architecture and furni-
ture This brings form of artistic home
decoration within the range Of ordinary
means. The woodwork of a dining room
may be furnished in Flemish oak, old Eng
-
ing very heavily on the exchequer. If the
woodwork be oak, the finish will be the
easier, but If the woodwork be pine, then
the woodwork will have to be rehnished.
The living room is made the feature OF
the modern home and is being subjected
to the same general treatment in many
Instances as the dining room, or even
library and hau. When there is a parlor
the woodwork can be done in white enamel
to advantage. Many bedrooms are being
treated in similar manner.
Paper and Furniture Match.
Some attractive panel effects are being
displayed in wall papers for parlors. Some
Of these panel effects are made to har-
monte with the colonial style of furniture
Soft floral designs in paperings are shown
for Marie Antoinette furnishings. These
panel effects go well with most modern
furniture. A few small and well selected
pictures, hung low and placed close to
the wall look well in these panels and
flower vase on a small table adds ma
terially to the setting.
For those who like the arts and crafts
furniture, there are paperings especially de-
signed, with simple markings, the combi-
nation of furniture and paper making a
happy blending. This is particularly adapt
ible for libraries or reception halls. Pic
torial friezes in paper for libraries and
oriental effects for coy corners are in the
market and the real surprise is what pretty
and satisfying effects may be obtained in
papering and painting for ordinary modern
homes at a cost that Is not really high. OF
course, the same effects carried out in the
higher class of decorations soon count up
into hundreds and thousands. But it has
been demonstrated that the man Of moder-
ate means need not altogether despair for
the want of little art in his home decor
alton.
Special hall and stairway decorations of
a dado hanging and four panels in one
width of paper, and large and bold decora-
lions for small rooms, may be had in great
variety. And there are papers showing
Spanish leather effect, some to match Louis
XVI furniture, the Adams design of me-
dallion and scroll effects and many others.
The simpler styles Of paper run riot In col
ors and designs.
