LOW FURNITURE MAKES ROOM LOOK LARGER.
THE CHESTERFIELD,
Rooms get set expressions, just as do people. The "make-up" becomes hard and ingrained and their furni ture cannot bear to be an inch out of place. This is what gives a dead look to se many houses, which are either devoid of untidy young people or which possess owners whose ar rangements have become merely a habit. New paint and paper, of course, help a room to mobilne its expression, but this is the more ex- pensive way of achieving variety.
A much better plan is to think дож and again of a fundamental alteration. The divan, Chesterfield, or mere sofa, for instance, may sometimes be allowed to stick out into the room, inaténdı óf taking up a long wall-space. There are 'cer- tain pieces of furniture which may stand out in the midle of the room- a standard bookcase or an armchair: -witadut being set against a wall or without the necessarily guard- ing the fire.
"Look Larger.
Low furniture obviously makes a 'room look larger than that which is high, and with low furniture any amount of changing can be accom plished. Rooms can be arranged in groups or in corners. A Chester- feld sticking out at right angles to the fire, can be finished up with a square bookcase, if this is about its Lown height.
