your rooms look livable, warm,
friendly, and very different from
each other while you pare down on
your decorative accessories.
One wallcovering concept that
can really help is the border. You
can put one at the ceiling, along the
floor, or right in the middle, separat-
ing two different wallcoverings or
even use it to set off plaster above
and wood below.
Some wallpaper collections, cap-
ture themes from around America:
seashore life, backyard gardens, the
panoramic vistas of the southwest,
covered bridges, and Victorian
architecture.
Once your walls are in order, look
for small accessories such as pillows
and pictures in the same color
scheme to round out the theme.
Shaker chairs, wrxxlen floors, and
antique tables can both add to the
simplicity of the look (while they
help simplify your life) and accentu-
ate the beauty of the designs.

Modem eclecticism can reflect a

^’might mix objects from Africa
with 1920s and 18lh century
pieces, points of view coming from
different directions, but speaking
with one voice. Even window
treatments reflect the trend.
“Window treatments best accent
eclecticism in a subtle and simple
