Interior Arrangement and Decoration

angle of a bedroom designed and executed by liberty & co., ltd.

live with is not the obtrusive nor the strange, decorative fitments into the nearest attainable con-
but the unaggressive, the simple and the natural. formity with the structural plan.

In a certain sense, ot
course, fitments are no
new tiling. Thus, the fixed
screens and settles yet sur-
viving in some old country-
inns are the relics of a
traditional mode of fitting
and furnishing: a fact which
Mr. Arthur Haward has
turned to account, appro-
priately enough, in the
modern instance of a cafe
at Darlington.

Three of the illustrations
of Messrs. Goodyer's de-
corations show how suitably
panelling and fitments may
be combined in the case of
a library (p. 26), as also in
a music-room (p. 30), where
the horizontal line of the
book - cupboards is con-
tinued, as far as may be,
unbroken, all round the
room, thus bringing the bedroom designed and executed by hampton & sons, ltd.
