A magazine writer recently touched on this idea, stressing the fact that every family has its own ideas of what fits a room. The same is true of peoâ€" ple in regard to houses in general. This is what the magazine writer says:â€" "Carts don‘t come before horses. We all know that. But the thing we someâ€" times forget is the we‘re making the same horseâ€"andâ€"buggy error when we plan our livingâ€"room arrangement to suit some inner urge or decorator‘s fancyâ€"and then try to fit our family into it. It just won‘t work. "We‘re all differentâ€"your family from mine, and both of us from the Joneses. The livingâ€"rooms of a "booky" crowd and of one that goes in for entertainâ€" ing are bound to differ in arrangeâ€" ment if they‘re both to be thoroughly enjoyed. So if you‘ve stacks of books and magazines, quantities of pictures, or hobbies that call for collecting, keep them very much in mind when decidâ€" ing what goes where. In the same way, place your furniture with an eye to the use that‘s to be made of it. Anâ€" ticlpate the movements of your fam â€" ily and guests so that the whole is organized for pleasure and usableness, but so subtly and naturally that it all seems just to have "happened." And especially see to it that the feeling of movement comes from the folks in the room, leaving furniture with that comâ€" fortable appearance of having been deâ€" finitely placed. In the wellâ€"schemed room nothing need move except perâ€" haps a chair. "Sso much for preamble. Now let‘s decide on the centre of interest for our room and place the large pieces in reâ€" lation to it. Every room should have on» of these high points in decoration if for nothing else than to step the roving eye. If yours has, of these imâ€" portant points, a fireplace, consider yourself lucky, for most certainly it‘s here the spotlight should fall. If it does, there are all sorts of possible arâ€" rangements that depend on the size of your family and the amount of enterâ€" taining you do. "If you‘re not blessed with a fireâ€" place, what about turning a long stretch of wall into the main event of th> room? You could emphasize it with a lovely sofa groupingâ€"if this scheme won‘t work, you can still get delightful effects by calling attention to a group of graciously draped winâ€" dows or a handsome bay, "But the job‘s not done yet.
