• a • S. NOSTALGIA for those happy tropical vacations or an Aca-pulco honeymoon is.evoked by this bold floral wallcovering by United-DeSoto. Mexican, paper flowers inspired this bright design which turns a dark alcove...into a happy_game area for would-lie Bobby Fischers.
Nostalgia is e of
the day—in movies, lays,
songs, even home fu • h-
ings. Psychiatrists attrib:-
ute the step back into time
as a desire to relive the
happier: times, whether
those days were truly bet-
ter or simply a_figment of
memory.
- Home furnishings prove
the wish. to be more secure
as Interior designers and
their clients agree on re-
lating, softly colorful, even
gay surroundings. Wall-
coverings: are especially
important as they greet a
weary worker coming
home, let a homemaker
unwind before dinner and
cause a round of smiles
and laughs .as a group
gathers in the family
roam Painted waits just
won't do It.
` Nostalgia is the longing
for the things of the past,
noted when the first fam-
ily member goei away. Not*
too surprisingly, the ab-
sent one misses the wall-
covering in her room, the
remembrance of happy; •
childhood days.
To the home designer,
a variety of wallcoverings
in the United-DeSoto col-
lection offers an opportu-
nityto change the appear-
ance of a hallway or any
room in the house with-
out investing In expensive
furniture. The walkover-
Mg, surroundhig the chic,
sophisticated furnishipgs,
adds the soft, subtle touch,
blencliro: the colors and
the te-mres of the room
into a new look. If the
Wallpaper is destined` for
a- room where fingerprints
arid scuff marks are regil-
Tar happenings, a vinyl
paper takes to a dampened
cloth or sponge 'and the
marks disappear almost
' Magically. No strong so-
lutions or soaps are re-
quited.
Nostalgia again enters
the world of home fur-
nishings-When mother and
daughter get together to
talk about daughter's firat
hOirte,, whether she's plan-
Writ marriage or a job in
a . distant city. Daughter
probably is looking for
some of her earlier life
touches of the furnishings
)of her room and the rest
of thehouse--and the very
modern conveniences of
today'a world. She easily
could Select some of 'her
old colors .but in a -new
flocked or striped or coin-
. binatiati wallpaper. In her
kitchen, no one will blink
. aneye if shanses the same
colors:' as in her mother's
kitchen, wallcovering and
all.
Women involved in the
do-it-yourself thing are
doings it themselves when
it comes to redesigning
their rooms, , spending as
little money as possible
since the days of inflation
are - affecting everyone.
The same women are"do-
ing" their own hair and
sewing 'their own fashions
— for fun and saving
money. These "home ,dec-
orators" are adding happy
tenches to their rooms.
such as plants (both hang-
ing and standing) , new
picture groupings includ-
ing unusual mirrors, and
colorful occasional furni-
ture from' unfinished fur-
niture shops.
Wallpapers lit nicely In-
to these rooms, bringing a
soft, restful and nostalgic
touch to the home, no
matter how young or old
the occupants. If the wall-
covering 4s prepasted,
many home designers are
doing it themselves — it's
that easy. If baths and
kitchens have not been
papered in the past, these
designing men and women
are papering for a brand
new look, usually . with a
pattern that's nostalgic
and reminiscent of their
yesteryears.
Everything's nostalgia
today, including the home.
And everyone's glad about
the happy feeling it gives.
Antiques mix
with many sets
You've just inherited
Geatunt Hattie's i Vic-
torian ove seat, but your
home completely mod-
ern.
Don't panic. Antiques
have a knack for comple-
menting other periods of
decor.
A little shuffling of the
furniture, a bit of new
upholstery or a slip cover,
and an antique looks right
at home in the starkest
modern house. ..,
