Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Home Furnishing: Practical and Artistic
There are few homes in which the furnishings might not be altered or modified to advantage. The point to be kept in View is, in the main, how to unite in the best way practical equipment and artistic effect; and this can be accomplished only by the employment of taste, knowledge, experience and judgment. To furnish a home, therefore, requires serious thought, when the end to be attained is one of harmony, simplicity and refinement.
T 00 often a house on which an architect has expended his utmost skill is ruined interiorly by ignorance in selecting the furnishings and deco rations. The single choice of a wall paper may mean a disastrous introduction of glaring colours and distracting patterns. Often the mere ar rangement of the furniture becomes as impor tant in obtaining a pleasing interior as the design and finish of the different pieces.
