A LITTLE PORTFOLIO of GOOD INTERIORS 
A somber room is always a problem, for rarely can one get too much sunlight. Often the desired sunlight 
is even not available. Color then must be found in the hangings and upholstery, as has been done in some 
of the rooms shown here. For solution of your decoration problems, write House & Garden, 440 Fourth 
Avenue, New York City 
The room to the 
right is in an 
apartment where 
the problem faced 
was to get the 
most value out of 
limited space. The 
oblique position 
of the refectory 
table was one of 
the solutions. The 
walls are golden , 
suitable for this 
type of furniture, 
giving warmth 
and light to the 
room

Of the many sug- 
g e stiv e points 
about the living- 
room above none 
is more interest¬ 
ing than the cur¬ 
tains. The val¬ 
ance over the four 
windows above 
the seat is pleas- 
in g ly different 
and successful. 
The fireplace 
grouping of couch 
and table is also 
interesting
