To left, a Swedish design is a traditional all over pattern with a contemporary technique. Its chintz like look and delicate colors make it suitable for any room in the house, the strawberry pattern ever a favorite for a small dining room, dinette, or kitchen. Note China to match. My best advice to you is when you are going to paper, or repaper see for your self for the varied and lovely new design and colors of the season. They change year. Here are examples of trends –all over pattern above. Below an abstract pattern for modern houses with a feeling more of texture than of pattern and the popular provincial motif which suits either mahogany of maple furniture.
There is a tremendous wealth of new textures, new weaves and unbelievable new colors and color combinations in the carpets, so again my advice is see them for your self when you are ready to select them. The fine luxurious, lush pile texture shown below is one example. Cotton twists, two toned carpet rayon, all linen, all wool in new look weaves with new non slip backing are all yours for the looking. Broadly speaking fine pile textures go in luxurious settings, the twists, the cottons, and the linens in the informal room. Choose color to suit the scheme of the room.
Modern lamp: in modern as in traditional lamps, vases, figures (man or beast), and simple shafts or uprights are all suitable for lamp bases. If you have a favorite piece, it can be wired (under ordinary circumstances) at moderate cost. The choice of shade is important and should be as carefully considered as the equipment under it. Dark shades as well as light ones may be used if white inside and if they are wide enough to throw light to ceiling as well as downward. Unusual materials –leather, rope, cork –are appropriate.
