The classic comment, "l may -not know anything about art. but I know what I like." is only half true when it comes to the - art of home decorating. as prac- ticed by today's homemaker. She does indeed know what she lik- es— but she also knows the whys av hows of choosing fur- niture and furnishings to create attractive. comfortable h ome surroundings for her family.
T more knowledgeable. ,more sophisticated approach to [home decoration meets a re ’response in the fall offerings of furniture designers and manu- facturers.
The charm and romance of antiquity unites with modern practicality and convenience, in an abundant variety of versa- tile, functional home fashions.

E IIEIRLOOM LOOK
E French and Italian provincial design elements are notable. lwhile inspirations from Greece. Spain. Portugal and ancient Per» ; sia lead to a new force in home [decorating -— the Mediterranean influence. Elegant hand-carved effects. graceful wrought iron grillwork. colorful tiles and filigree detailing bring an heir- loom look to much of this fall's
lnew furniture.
lToday’s homemaker said sophisticated and knowing
The most important factor. however, is that no one period or type of design dominates. While many furniture styles re- flect the heritage of other eras and countries. they are. most of- ten, not line-for-line copies but creative adaptations suited to today’s living.
Distinctions between styles are less rigid. as designs from y terday and today blend the best of each. Traditional acquires a more casual. comfortable air; early American gains in gra- ciousness; modern and contem- porary take on more dramatic proportions and are softened by architectural detail.
Fall's furniture blends. how- ever. are not bland. Diversity of design within coordinated groups assures ample opportunity for distinctive and imaginative do corating. The idea of the impor- tant accent piece. richly but tastefully ornamented. is given . Numerous furniture pieces effectively display fine woods in new. softer and lighter finishes.
PAINTED FINISHES

notably white, antiqued. bed or glazed with gold.
Parquetry. marble inlays or tops. handsome metals and vi- brant, colorful fabrics with rich sheen or texture add to the look of romance and elegance.
Fabrics in upholstery, curt and draperies combine an elo- gant and colorful appearance with ease of care.
The trend to harmonious blend- ing of furniture styles and per- iods is most of all a tribute to the good taste of the modern homemaker. The rigidly match-' ed “set." he concern with con- finement to a single design. the matching of finishes all give way to the concept of "personal expres and furnishings give the home- maker full scope for r ecting the individuality, the character and preferences of herself and her family in her home decor.

Fall's bride will walk down the aisle in an elegant gown. After several seasons of sim- plicity in bridal fashions. brides are returning to more lavish

The elegant bride may choose a sheath, classic cut or sweep- ing fullness, but whatever her silhouette choice. her wedding dress w almost certainly be lavished with lace or embroi- dery. Many gowns reflect a medieval splendour. The look is regal. and trains carry out the ‘court’ motif.
