for an early American setting,
we can obtain a stock pine panel
door which is an authentic copy
of doors made by Colonial
craftsmen. This gives us a back
ground that is both realistic and
three-dimensional. The pine
grain also adds richness and
warmth to the scene"
Eggleton believes that the
same "tricks" and tools en-
ployed to make a good back
ground for a television play can
be used in home decoration
"A fiat empty wall as a back
ground for a scene is a sin on
TV because it invariably is dull
and uninteresting. Believe it or
not, this dullness can creep into
the action of the play itself"
The same thing can happen in
a house. According to Eggle-
ton, interesting decorative sur
roundings in the home are Just
as important psychologically for
every day living as they are on
television.
The home-owner can use
panel doors of ponderosa pine
with the same success achieved
by TV set designers. The doors
can be obtained from building
material dealers in styles to fit
any interior decor, from tra6i-

Take a tip from television if
you want to achieve dramatic
effects and create moods in your
interior decorating scheme.
That's the advice of Larry
Eggleton, one of the Columbia
Broadcasting Systems top tele-
vision set designers. Eggleton,
who creates the scenery for
CHS = TVS popular hour long
dramatic shows, Studio One, says
the key to effective television
set designing as we'll as attrac-
tive home interiors is the use
of materials which have a three
dimensional appearance.
These include brick and stone
walls, interior planting boxes,
paneled doors, draperies, tex
tured wall materials, and walls
painted with designs.
One of Eggleton's favorite
means of obtaining the three
dimensional, or textured, effect
so important to his sets is with
wood panel doors.
Panel doors give us inter-
esting texture because of the
shadow lines created by the
panels" he says. "These break
up what would otherwise be a
fiat, monotonous surface. Be-
sides, certain styles of panel
doors also help us achieve mood
and authenticity.
