Household Decoration 1031 walls that we must rely for uniting our whole interior scheme, for they serve as a common background for furnishings and persons. Moreover, they define the outermost limits of the interior and should be covered in such a way as to hold their place. For this reason we must avoid the use of bright colors and showy patterns; these have no place in the modest home.
