- summary: As far as the element of beauty is concerned, a room having good colour, attractive and interesting pictures, and beautiful draperies, is already furnished. The smaller house shares in the advantage of beautiful colour, correct principles, and appropriate treatment equally with the more costly.

- summary: Just as when a large family is to be considered I believe in one big meeting-room and a number of smaller rooms for special purposes, so I believe that when a family is very small there should be one great living-room and no other day room. There are draped beds, however, that may be used in smaller rooms.

- summary: To many people, a room is simply a room to be treated as they wish; whereas many rooms are absolute laws unto themselves, and demand a certain kind of treatment, or disaster follows. Painting or tinting the walls, when done correctly, is very satisfactory in many rooms.

- summary: In old houses which have not been used for some time, the bricks often deteriorate and become so soft that they crumble at the touch. The roof of the main building has been extended in the rear, following its straight line to the top of the first story, as was frequently done in old houses.

- summary: The width of openings in such rooms is therefore restricted to four feet six inches; indeed, it is permissible to make the opening lower and thus reduce its width to four feet; six inches of additional wall-space are not to be despised in a room of average dimensions. In such rooms the cove should rise directly from the walls; and this treatment suggests the important rule that where the cove is not supported by a cornice the ceiling decoration should be of very light character.
