A new series of inlaid hardwood panels combining complementary wood species, and a new walnut plywood grooved every four inches for the appearance of real walnut lumber, make their debut this spring, too. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, April 30,1965 3A Need to keep guests happy and out of your hair? Take a tip from Richard Himmel, member of the American Insti- tute of Interior Designers, and designer of the 1965 *'Rooms of Tomorrow"', . The 1965 'Rooms of Tomor- row", an exhibit recently shown to the hotel trade, is Mr. Him- mel's forecast of how the future will care for traveling families. Influenced both by his exper- iences as a father and as a na- tionally known hotel designer, Mr. Himmel designed the "Family Room" section which shows good use of space, adapt- able to your own theme. Designed primarily as a con- vertible room for families trav- eling with small children, the "Family Room"' also gives you ideas on how to accommodate guests. As is the case with many family rooms in homes today, this is a multi-purpose area to be used for sleeping, entertain- ing and children's play. Mr. Himmel recommends a divider which can be pushed out of the way to-give full daytime use of the room, or when there are no guests. - Second is the division of space between resilient flooring and sleeping areas, carpeting, hard-surfaced in play | areas, carpeted in sitting and | Third is ade- | quate storage, from closets and | wardrobes for guest apparel and | out-of-season family clothing, to | chests for extra bedding, games, ' Solve Space Problem Here ete. Fourth is adequate light- ing, geared both for reading and for play. Fifth is planning for easy-care materials, laminated surfaces on chests, man-made fibers for carpeting, vinyl for flooring, etc. New Refreshers For Bathroom Particularly in a email bath- room, the idea of being able to match paper and shower cur- tain is a neat trick, [t not only adds continuity of design, but a genuine "decorator" touch. One of the surest and easiest ways is to select one of .the bright new wallpapers, desiga- ed especially for bathrooms. There are several patterns available with matching vinyl shower curtains and vinyl win- dow draperies.
