Navajo Rugs, or Blankets, Grouped in a Corner 



A Doorway often Needs the Protection of a Hanging 



from cabinetmakers, upholsterers and wall decorators, the 

 expenses of repairing and replacements can be lessened by the 

 purchase of articles that are well made and of durable ma- 

 terials. The advantage of adhering to simplicity of form 

 and the absence of ornament in this location is too obvious 

 to call for discussion. 



In the choice of rugs for the bungalow size is often as 



important a matter as either the texture or design. By cover- 

 ing the main part of the living-room floor with one large 

 rug a greater sense of comfort will be attained than if small 

 rugs were distributed, leaving much uncovered areas of floor 

 visible. In some places one may use several rugs of one kind, 

 laying them so closely together that they have the appearance 

 of a single large rug.
