Design in Home Furnishing
when we speak Of design, people
usually think d something applied or
added on, something which does not
enter into the construction of a dress
or . ioae Of furniture such as the
line, shape, spacing or color said
Dean Florence Harrison OF the Home
Economics Department Of the State
College Of Washington recently talk
ing over Radio X F A +.
Ii the design is properly DEFINED,
il is the art Of selection and arrange
ment, and implies Judgment, or de-
cision Design, then, is the logical
basis for home furnishing, since it is
the selection and arrangement Of ma
terials for two purposes use and beau
ty.
Every interior makes some pattern
and expresses something, if only the
ignorance of the planner. The same
principles Of design may be applied
in the home as to any art problem.
Restfulness
"If the purpose Of the house is to
give rest for body and pleasure for
the mind, the home will have in it
only that furniture which is necessary
for comfort and convenience, and this
will be arranged in a logical way,
according to the principles Of design.
There will be good spacing of furni-
ture, curtains, pictures and rugs. Con-
sideration viii be given to the relation
of size, shape and arrangement Of
windows, doors, walls spaces, door
PANELS, mouldings and built-in fur
niture. The lines of the furniture and
furnishings will be so arranged as to
denote strength, durability, dignity
and repose.
Large articles of furniture such as
the piano and davenport will follow
the lines of the room. Cat-a-corner
arrangement of large pieces of furni-
ture destroys the unity and rest given
by the straight lines Of the room,
Exaggerated curves are undesirable
as a matter of good taste. Some
curved-line furniture is necessary to
avoid stiffness and severity in a room
Much beauty of form depends or
curved lines.
Unity in color, style and taste Is
necessary. This is secured by repeti
ton of the same colors and shapes, the
same structural motifs in furniture
and the same line movement. Rope
tition of color will produce harmony
throughout the entire room.
Center of Interest
Every room should have a centeI
of interest; without it, the room il
like story without a plot, a pla.
without climax. This center of in
terest may be the fireplace with
beautiful picture above it; or singh
picture hung with plenty of wall spac
about it; or piece of furniture o
real value, such as cabinet or piano
or book shelves, or window wit
rows Of books beneath it; or a visit
through window.
"The proportions of the piece 0
furniture should be considered in re
lation to the space it will occupy in
room. A large mirror above sma
table; thin, lacy curtains or heav
poles; large lamp on a little table
heavy pieces Of furniture with del
cate ones; large chairs in a sma
space, or the reverse; all these are a
out Of proportion, not well balances
