SECRETS OF INTERIOR

Theory of Practical and Artistic
Usage Is Conveyed

artistic usage.
The rooms and their relative func-
tons are of paramount consideration;
they must be treated independently as
to their practical use. This is one of
the first fundamentals. The location,
exposure and climatic conditions are
governing factors in determining COL
ors, their hue, value and intensity: for
the first test of esthctic appeal is in
the power of contemporary or analogous
combinations CIR of form to stimulate
the activity of the esthetic sense,
thought and care being given to the
qualities consistent and harmonious
with objects to be used, as well as the
temperament of the occupant.
Balance, proper application, placing
OF lines, curves, concentrations and
furnishings are most important to. OBJ
tain an equalization of attractions in
their attractive powers, which gives a
feeling of satisfaction, mentally and
OFFICIALLY.
Dignity and formality are sometimes
the desired characteristics of the room.
This feeling can be obtained by employ
ing vertical and horizontal balances ar
rangement of the masses used close
enough together to be associated as
parts of a whole. Pleasing decorative
units are where the relative sizes and
scale of its elements are we'll proper

either through sense of feeling or in

Is to be successful.
Every century, every period can be
