The Arts & Crafts Room

ARTS & CRAFTS INTERIORS have been described as simple and spare, but they are fully decorated by modern standards. Woodwork and trim, wallpaper and paint, rugs and pillows and portières contribute to the cozy effect. Most woodwork treatments were rather simple. Inexpensive even when machine-cut from Southern pine and cypress, bead board was ubiquitous in back-of-the-house rooms frequented by servants, like the kitchen and utility areas. (Bead board is a contemporary favorite in kitchen and bath renovations.)
