An arehitecturdi dement b devel­ oped by the inatalationof a Belgian linen warp-lay wallcovering both verticaHy and horizontally. Bright, dark and muted colon are aft need in balance to create an intereeting and practical work apace. Belgian Unen wallcoverings, drapery and uphol­ stery fabrics are architect and interior designer specified prod- nets and can be ordered through the Interior design studio of a department store. Foyer converted into * - "tH ice Have you ever entertained the idea of having your own private office? By making use of avail­ able space and m6dern mate­ rials in your home, you can cre­ ate an office that is stylish, so­ phisticated, and functional. Interior designer, Emy Leeser, has transformed this foyer into a dynamic work area where business affairs are con­ ducted. Chosen for the walls is a striped warp-lay Belgian linen wallcovering which has been installed both vertically and horizontally. Walls need not be prepared m any special manner. Cracked and bumpy walls are easily camouflaged. „ Since linen does not attract dust, maintenance is minimal; just vacuum twice a year. Spots are removed by means of a damp sponge and mild deter­ gent, while some stubborn stains are removable with a sol­ vent cleaner. Architectural patterns created by the taupe, black, blue grey ami white stripes of this textile wallcovering add design, color and interest. Color is the key de­ sign element. The introduction of contrast­ ing colors, such as in the deep orange velvet upholstered desk chair and the vivid russets, black and white patterned rug, sharpens the room's image and vitalizes a coordinated decorat­ ing scheme. The foyer, partially blocked off from the other rooms by a screen covered in the same linen wallcovering, ensures privacy and creates additional space for furnishings. The contemporary, roll-top desk is of rosewood and plexi­ glass. The black and white il­ luminated table of opaque plexi­ glass and lacquer sides provides light and a shelf for accessories, while the plexiglass table in the right corner has a suspended drawer shelf made of custom wood. A tasteful blend of contempo­ rary furniture, ancient art and a medley of colors all harmonize and integrate into a pleasing, eclectic decorating arrange­ ment. Lookup, down and all around for living space Need more living space? Look up, down, all around --and you may find it. Here are some suggestions from the National Home Im­ provement Council on how to stretch your home to suit your needs. Lookup l\irn the attic into a guest­ room, study or playroom. Pro­ vide both storage and living space by partitioning low-slope sections of the room with a kneewall framework of two-by- fours. Cover the framework with prefintshed paneling. Sliding panels or doors will allow access to the storage area behind the wall. For light and ventilation, install dormer win­ dows. . < Look down Convert a dreary basepient into a cheery family or recrea­ tion room. If there's a moisture problem, waterproof masonry walls, then install insulation- backed paneling or rigid insula­ tion boards. Some types of resilient floor­ ing can be applied directly over concrete floors. Or, build a sub- floor and carpet it. Box-in un­ sightly overhead pipes, or in­ stall a suspended ceiling with recessed lighting. Look outdoors Enciose the porch to make if usable year-round. The floor, ceiling and house wall already exist, but the three open walls must be stud-framed and £n- If possible, extend the home's heating system into the new room. If not, use space or baseboard heaters. Tlirn the carport into an extra room, or a two-car port into two rooms. Walls and floors must be con­ structed, and planning must in­ clude window and door installa­ tion, insulation application, and provision for heat and electric­ ity. - Remodel the garage into an efficiency apartment. It's great for week-end guests, for a ma­ ture teen-ager who wtmts a place of his or her own without leaving home, or as an income- earning rental. Garages don't need major structural changes. Important considerations are light, air and easy access--one possibility is replacing the garage doors with sliding glass doors--and plumbing and heating exten­ sions. Since most space conversions require knowledgeable plan­ ning and a variety of carpentry and installation skills, NHIC recommends consultation with a professional contractor. He can help you decide what is feasible, estimate over-all -costs, suggest suitable mate­ rials, and do the work you may not be able to handle.
