Stepping out this year is a new twosome wallpaper and pictures. The reason: many new wallpapers are getting the textured treatment. According to Mrs. Mary L. Brandt, one of New York's decorating dec-orating authorities, they're a perfect background for beautiful etchings, paintings, prints or any decorative wall objects. What's so wonderful about these textured effects? They ara.easy on the eyes, give the well a warm colorful covering, conceal possible defects in the wall, and create a soft neutral background for a favorite pic tu-e. In the photo above, note the ur. isual treatment for showing off a series of handsome Hogarth Ho-garth etchings. The background, back-ground, is a silken-textured wrllpaper with the look and richness of a fine silken weave. Th3 excitement in this particular parti-cular paper is its cloud-like colorings blue gray with undertones un-dertones of pink. Ceiling is pink to blend in with one of the textured "threads" (see in-cct in-cct closeup) giving a glowing pink . sky to this beautiful foyer-dining area. "This year," says Mrs. Brandt, "the coarser weaves in textured wall papers are giving giv-ing way to the more finely j woven look, to appear like closely knit threads in costly linens. "Some have the soft purring look of velvet, others the smooth silky feel of luscious fabrics from the Orient. There is a strong trend toward the 'rubbed effect', or tone-on-tone, similar to the old Chinese rubbings, rub-bings, to get a mottled look or batik. In wallpapers, as in all home furnishings, the new trend is toward the opulent look." mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwmmmmmmmmmmmmwmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwmmmmmmmmmmmmmm |
