SIMPLICITY IS THE KEY TO INTERIORS TODAY. They use few furnishings, functional and good-loaking,
spiced with color and texture, Take a converted attic with no natural light and make it cheerful, bright
and usable in a dozen ways by building around a modular group and adding texture. Each of the pieces,
corner unit, ottoman or armless chair can be placed in whatever order desired. A special asset is the:

' Hide-A-Bed sofa section which opens up inté aqueen-size bed; the family room becomes an instant guest
room. Just as importantly, the mability of the pieces is ideal for varying groups or uses. With four corner
‘sections, one makes @ popular “pit. Covered in grass green, the suggestion of the out-of-doors is
heightened by ceiling panels which combine green with sky blue stripes. A woodsy note is the naturaloak
table and bentwood chairs. It's all unified by a solid white background. The success of the room is
testimony to the fact that one is totally unaware of the lack of windows. (Charade modular group by

The blast of cold air blow-
ing through your home
whenever the outside door is
opened chills the rooms
directly, and forces the
warmed air out the window
frames on the other side,
costing you fuel money
every time.

An entrance vestibule will
‘reduce this draft substar-
tially, and should be built at
the front and rear door
wherever possible, suggests
the Better Heating-Cocling
Council. Temporary, light-
weight vestibules may be
available at your local build-
ing supply warehouse,

Where this can't be done,
an extra piece of hot water
baseboard can be installed
inside the entrance and con-
nected to the hydronic heat-
ing system. The air will be
tempered as it moves
through the house, reducing
those chilly drafts.
