To create just the right kiid of environ- ment, use the architecture to your ad- vantage in your decorating scheme. "When decorating an attie room, îniost honîieowners turn to walleover- ings, " says Anthiony C. Baxter, vice president /sales and marketing for Katzenbachi & Warren. "The main reason is because nothing changes the character of a r'oni - or hides a multitude of sins - the way wall- covering daes. " Baxter went on to note tliat caver- nous attic rooms with wooden beamis can be brought downi to size and made 1into a cozy, country getaway with a small, all{Iover print in a colonial red color, sùch as many of the pat- teras from Katzenbach & Warren's Williamsburge collections. "On the other hand, some homne- owners only finish a small section of the attie, leaving the rest for storage. To make a small attic roomn look big, instail a bold -contemporary geometric print whieh has a pale eolored back- ground, " recommends Baxter. "The Iightness will add spaeiousness ta the roam while the large graphie design will ereate dynamism. " To add the finishing touch ta your new attie roarn, use border strips where Iow, sloping ceilings meet sidewalls, to framnedormer alcoves, or to mun up high cathedra] eeilings. t Canadian-bulit and designed by: ~~TJi~WOODSIVE *SeIf-cleaning Glass Door *5-Year Warranty *FuIl f irebrick lining *Internai Baffle for efficient combustion e Frontal draft control " Cast-lron air tight door for al night burn 2 " Floor and rear ,heat shield 5.
