ATTRACTIVE BEDROOMS
IN ALMOST Any STYLE

Bedrooms usually placed on the upper
floors depend largely on the disposition of
the first floor of house. This, however.
should not result in haphazard arrange
ment, for the first and second floors
should react on each other until an ar
rangement is arrived at which fulfills
the condition of plan required by each.
OF course. there is little trouble in plan
ming house to have at least one perfect
bedroom. but in the wcll-p planned house
every bedroom should have all the requi-
sites to make it an attractive. healthful,
and comfortable sleeping room.
Again, in designing your bedroom, don't
forget to have I'm mind the location of the
furniture. lest you will find upon compile
ton n weli-decorated room with no place
to put the bed. This important piece of
furniture should be placed in such n posi-
ton as to be free from draughts and not
exposed when the door is opened.
Windows. and as many OF them as pos
sible. are a luxury for the bedroom, not
only to provide light for milady while
occupying the chair in front of the dress
ing table, but also to give ample ventila-
ton. which should be second to no other
requirement OF the bedroom.

a room and yet enough pieces of different

the house Is indeed no unusual predica

why should the old furniture be discard

for a room Kept for show, IL will never

in.
There is. therefore. no reason to be dis
couragcd II the furniture in your bed
room is not all OF the same period: beauty
in furniture is, to a great extent. a reia-
tive matter. and its fitness for a special
place in a room Is often more important
than its style.

out much charm by a well-selectcd COM
