AYS— Wallpaper adds artistic dignity to an
interior and eliminates any possible feeling of cold formality.”
Mr. Pope voices the feeling of other leading architects when he speaks of using wallpaper to avoid cold formality.
Twenty-five years ago many houses needed welcome” on the door mat—today the atmosphere of a fine home carries the spirit of hospitality.
No other material has a greater influence in developing the spirit of warm hospitality than wallpaper.
Six typical interiors were recently selected and approved by six of the country’s most famous experts, Elsie de Wolfe, Nancy McClelland and Gertrude Gheen Robinson, decorators, John Russell
Pope and Frank J. Forster, architects, and Richard Bach of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Each took the responsibility for a single room. All chose wallpaper as a medium of decoration for the walls.
If you want to know their reasons for selecting wallpaper, send for a full set of beautiful color illustrations of the entire series of interiors approved. These illustrations will be
sent to you together with a fascinating, illustrated booklet, Wallpaper—Room By Room” which discusses wallpaper in much detail.
