Period rooms present A challenge l to the interior decorator. whethert she's A professional or ”just plain homemaker." None of us can ex- pect to have A room correct in

every small historical detail, yet a I touch of authenticity in decoration; is always desirable if it can bet achieved. l

The early English period reflects an age of hearty living. Much fur- niture of that period is now used in (lining rooms. especially of large homes. and in masculine type bed- iooms or studios. The rough text- ure, bold designs. heavy oak furn- iture and rich fabrics show us something of the strenuous old days.

Floral designs became popular to- ward the close of this era and es- pecially in the later Jacobean and Queen Anne periods. Wallpapers, draperies and furniture coverings from these times give us color and character in our settings noiv. BOLD EMBLEMS l

Walnut iiirniliire of William and Mary and Quccn Anne seem to as- sume additional glamor when com- bined with the bold emblems re- miniscent of the East Indian crew- el embroidery which was popular in those days. This is still reflected in some of our fabrics and papers today.

As the reign of Queen Anne. one of the most homclike periods. drew to A close. a greater degree of formality became evident in the following period. Chippendale. not- ed for his fine furniture. delighted everyone with his new styles. He produced some of the finest pieces in the world. I

Floral patterns. lighter in design ' and color than those of the pre- ceding period. were used in decor- ation. Fnrmality increased iv i t h Heppel-while. Sheraton and the Adam brothers. Delicate pastel tints. light stripes and classic mot- ifs appeared.

BRIGHT COLORS

White colors were lighter and clearer in both England and France At this time. they were pure. bright and tull of vitality. Lemon yellow. clear blue. green. rose and white were all used. Stripes were in vog- ue both for walls. furniture covers and draperies. Imported from the gay Frenc-"n court came the ideas of ribbons and streamers. Even to- day rooms are decorated with stripes in wallpaper and fabric de- Sltlll.

The colonial period iias a tilne of adaptations of the English sty- les from Queen Anne to late Georg- Ian. and French designs which were reduced to simple beauty of line. The colonists. using only the mat- erial and resources at hand. fash- ioned furniture for their new homes according to their own needs. tast- es and available equipment.
