People begin spending more time indoors at this time of year as evenings become cooler and days shorter. "A home without accessories is like a house without people empty of life and devoid Of charm," points out Mrs. Rhea H. Gardner, home management specialist at Utah State Agricultural College. She adds that large furniture may be impersonal, but that the smaller objects you place in your home are generally and unmistakably unmistak-ably stamped with your character. "They reveal your personal tastes. Somehow these qualities become a part of your home, in- ducing a warm, pleasant lived-in appearance." Many home decorators crowd rooms with accessories. A lot of attractive odds and ends may help a place look lived-in, but not liveable. live-able. The tidy appearance which good decoration should have, is destroyed. Mrs. Gardner says one of the nicest aspects of accessories is that they don't have to be costly to accomplish much decoratively. It is their intrinsic value to your plan that counts, not the money involved. Their arrangement, not the price mark, she adds. |
