2. With windows on two or three sides of the room, such papers on the remaining wall spaces rob the room of balance,
3. Draperies or furniture coverings, or both, together with the necessary colorful accessories, give the room all the animation it can stand, and therefore make plain or simple wall treatment desirable.
Walls may be painted, papered, paneled in natural wood, or covered with one of the new cloth or wood-veneer fabrics.
THE FLOOR COVERINGS
For general considerations governing choice of floor coverings for the sunroom, see Furnishing the Hall, page [188].
Note as an exception that a plain carpet or large rug often is preferred to a figured carpet or rug in spite of a tendency to shade and the fact that it shows dust and ashes more easily because:
1. It offers a more effective background for gaily figured draperies and floor coverings.
2. The rich and unusual colors often desired for sunroom use are easier to find in plain carpetings.
