The solution above compromises with an ugly loedge in the 
roof. Timber work and wall boaid form the frame for a 
lounge and book shelves. The curtained space above hides 
smaller discards. The space below the cushioned lounge is 
a locker. The glass door on the right conceals pigeon holes 
or a cellarette. An old chair in a cretonne cover gives a spot 
of color. The rug can be of fibre and the furniture is such as 
any house or shop provides. 
Below is an ordinary attic room created without timber 
work. The walls are stenciled into panels and the same 
design is repeated in the curtains and edge of rug. A lively 
color combination—green and purple, yellow and blue—will 
add interest. The loalls can be painted and the floor stained. 
The furniture should be simple and comfortable. Mission 
pieces could go well in such a room 
Above is another solution for the type of room shown 
opposite. The room is encircled with a bookshelf. In 
one corner an imaginary fireplace has been created 
around a gas or electric stove by curtains and a va¬ 
lance. The same fabric is used in curtaining. A 
striking color effect could be obtained by painting the 
floor a dull red and using rush colored mats. The walls 
can be rush color, the ceiling and the space above 
shelves a lighter tone, and the seats and shelves 
upholstered and painted in red. Such fxirniture as 
the room requires represents but a small outlay
