Space Age Corners Aid New Lifestyles New areas of space open­ ing up--a phrase generally associated with nights to other worlds -- has a very real connotation In today's home environment. And, as in all progress, need combined with crea­ tivity can be the force that spurs families into the search for new areas of space. Nooks and crannies, as well as larger areas, can be considered as new outlets for living. A small kitchen corner can become a break­ fast area or a place for quiet conversation or a study- BONUS BUY OF THE YEAR save *138" ON THIS COMPLETE "NOME ENTERTAINMENT CENTER"!

A corner or entire wall in the room can find success as a symphony hall--hous­ ing stereo and its compo­ nents. Or, an on-the-spot art gallery can be created with paintings and objets d'art. A television section can bring the entire world into the contemplative privacy of the home. And, family members who place a pre­ mium on privacy, ctn find seclusion in an area that contains only a comfortable chair, a table and a lamp. Carefully selected mod­ ular wall units, in either contemporary or traditional designs, can contain an un­ seen sewing center.

Revival Is Fabric Trend Think natural . . . then think classic ... and youH have the feel of the strong­ est trends in fashion fabrics this spring. The naturals -- colors, fi­ bers and textures that look as if they came from the earth -- are blended and worked together to achieve a rustic look. Many fabrics have flax content, a nubby surface and the coloration of unbleached muslin. Homespuns, linen looks and slubbed silks all capture the natural feeling. Knits have new rustic surface tex­ tures. And many of the spring's bright prints have natural-colored grounds. The same nostalgic pull is felt in fashion's preoccu­ pation with old. near for­ gotten favorites in colors, textures and weaves. Ging­ ham and seersucker are the classics of the season. Checks range from tiny squares to super-tablecloth size, glen plaids and tartans are being revived, and seer­ sucker -- striped, checked or classic white -- is every­ where on the spring scene. The favorites of the Fif­ ties are back -- dots, calicos and paisleys in many colors and sizes. High-sheen chi­ nos and soft, brushed den­ ims dominate the sports­ wear scene. Leather is still a winner and fabrics are being printed to duplicate all sorts of skins. Mirrors, enlarged win­ dows, carefully selected lighting all can vitalize and open up the home environ­ ment. Chamois, soft suede and kids kin have been treated to work , and be worn like cloth, either in their own natural shades or in soft spring pastels. Some leath­ ers have flower or animal prints. The love of the natural has given rise to some of the best flower prints in years --in English country garden profusion, Victorian wall­ paper stripes or giant single flowers. Other prints concentrate on figures, from charming animals to copies of fine engravings. Many spring knits feature these designs woven in. Look for trimmings to match these trends: but­ tons and buckles of cork or wood, silk flowers to tuck in a belt, or an animal appli­ que on a skirt. If it's natural and classic, it has to be right this year. Evening Is Long, Bare Evening gowns are a long story this year, with full- length fashions almost completely dominating the scene after dark. Gowns reminiscent of Harlow and Hayworth uncover a lot of bare truths, with plunging necklines, halters, and ut­ terly uncovered backs. Others are "completely covered, all the way to Kitty Poyle collars and matching little white cuffs. Favorite fabrics are dra- pey crepes, slinky jersey and flowing chiffon. Ro­ mantic ruffled taffeta and crisp flowered organdies al­ so make the scene. Sleeves, if they're there at all. flow loosely to be tightly cuffed at the wrist, or drift into Chinese butter­ fly points. Short sleeves are often puffed school-girl fashion.
