This familiar idea of arrangement
“pan be applied equally well to the
flarger problem of furnishing =
home. The exact use of a room
should be definitely settled in or
der that the furnishings may be so
selected and arranged as to fit it
for its use. The spaces in which
the furnishings may be disposed
are determined by the size of the
room, the location and the size of
the various windows and doors, and
the shape of the resulting wall
spaces. The problem is to arrange
the necessary furniture within a
given space, in a way that will be
reasonable for use and pleasant to

* The plan of a living room four
teen feet wide and twenty feet long
fs shown here. This room has four
openings, two windows (one of
them double) and two doors; each
of these openings is located in the
middle of a wall, thus leaving large
equal spaces to right and to left.
As a result, each wall Is symmetri

pearance.

possible arrangements of the same

Three Possible Arrangements of a Living ' Room.
A—A Poor Arrangement Because It Glves the Impression of Confusion
and Unrest, B and C—Good Arrangements Because They
Are Orderly and Reposeful.
rugs. The instant impression given
by diagram A is one of confusion
and unrest; by diagrams B and C
one of order and repose.
In_A the eye glances restlessly
from one object to another. Dia
grams B and C are instantly picto
rial because they are in keeping
with the principles of good arrange
ment. They are characterized by
large open spaces and by furniture
placed around the walls. The eye
is at rest in eithe: of these arrange
ments.
In dlagram A the objects are
scattered about the room, creating
an impression of too many things
and too little free spade. The plac
fog of the furniture is irregular and
unexpected, so that persons are
likely to bump into things in mov.
ing about the room.
The larger pleces are placed
diagonally across the corners. Each
time this is done, a triangle of
space is wasted behind the object,
and two corners are awkwardly
projected into the room. Conse
quently each object so placed not
only appears to, but actually does,
occupy more room than if placed
against the wall

Furthermors, the apace bdehihd
the plece hscomes a dust hole, zo
that the furniture must be moved
for cleaning. A diagonal arrange
ment cannot therefors be con
sidered a sensible one, except per
haps for chairs, which can be
moved easily and which are often
of a suitable shape to fit into the
oorners.
Nor is a diagonal arrangement of
furniture an effective one, for the
main lines set at deflance the out
lines of the room, which are rec
tangular. Consequently the objects
seem to be located without refer
ence to the epace that contains
them.
In diagram A small rugs are used
in place of largs ones, thus break
ing up the central space and giv
ing a scrappy appearance to the
floor. Moreover, for a room used
by & number of persons small rugs
are llkely to be kicked up at the
corners and to slip as they are
stepped on. The style of rug used,
whether it be a rag rug or an Ori
ental one, does not In the least
alter the manner of arrangement.
In diagram B the furniture is ar
ranged parailel with the walls, thus
which form a yoke over the upper
part. The sleeve may be finished

following the outline of the room.
The pieces that are related i use
are grouped-—desk, books, lbrary
table and comfortable clia'*s oo
cupying one end of the room, and
plano, music cabinet and more
seats the other end. The room
thus has two centres of a rather
definite nature and use—one centre
is quiet in charaoter, the other is
sooiable.
A large central rng laid parallel
with the walls of the room unites
the two groups, and at the same
tims defines the open space that is
free for passage. With such an
arrangement persons moving about
the room are in no danger of run
ning into oddly placed objects.
In diagram C the reading oentre
has been emphasized by pldcing
the table on the longitudinal axis
of the room, and by using a sepa
rate rug for each group. The loca
tion of the divan and the plano
along the width rather than the
length of the room tends to make
the room look wider and shorter
than in B.
This suggestion is an important
one to remember when furnishing
& narrow room. Objects placed
across the ends seem to widen and
shorten space, while objects placed
along the sides tend to increase
the already great length and to de
crease the already narrow width,
This arrangement is both livable
and restful
It is evident that good arrange
ment results from observing tweo
general principles—first, the ar
medium size. The skirt measures
8% yards at its lower edge.

rangement of objeots should fol
low, repeat or fit the struotural out
lines of the space used; second,
objects should not be scattered
over the spaoce, but should be dis
posed in groups or masses in order
that the large open spaces may be
left to set off the arrangement,
Any tendency to cover up plain
epace by aprawling objoc‘t‘,ovor it
should be checked at the start, for
it spolls rather than oreates an ef
fective arrangement. Vines, rib
bons and flowers strewn at random
over a dinner table with the idea
of making t appear festive defeat
their purpose and end in nothing
more attractive than fussiness.
Table decorations condensed into
definitely placed spots or oentral
masses are much more effective,
#ince each is set off by the plain
oloth that surrounds fit.
It should be remembered that
with any arrangement of objescts
the idea is not to® eover all the
space, but rather to preserve as
much of it as is possible, and yet
ocomfortably include all the neces
sary features.
Plain space, or background, is
the signal that draws attention to
an object or an arrangement. The
