SIMPLICITY IS THE KEY TO INTERIORS TODAY, They use few furnishings, functional and good-looking, spiced with color and texture. Take a converted attic with no naturat light and make it cheerful, bright

and usab!e 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 intoa queen-size bed; the familyroom becomes an instant guest room, Just as importantly, the mobility of the pieces is ideal for varying groups or uses, With four corner sections, one makes a popular ‘pit’. Covered in grass green, the suggestion of the out-of-doors is haightened by ceiling pane!s which combine green with sky blue stripes. A woodsy nate is the natural! oak table and bentwood chairs. It's afl 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

Homeowners thinking about replacing old, drafty. windows with modern wood windows should consider the various styles. Sliding windows or patio doors, for example, have a trim look - that suits modern architec- - ture, ventilation and excellent visibility. Used in series, they have the effect of opening up an entire wall.
