Fireplaces & Lighting In every room there are two focal points of interest - the lighting fixtures and fireplaces. Enter a room, and these two immediately catch the attention. Especially is this true at night when the room is transformed by artificial illumination. The one, fireplaces, is an architectural feature and should be in accord with the character of the room. It is permanent, and hence, except for re-painting and the removal of objectionable designs from it, it stays as a part of the immovable features of a room. We can decorate the mantel shelf, however, and change it from time to time, adding variety to the room. On the choice and arrangement of such decoration a measure of the success of the room will depend. The others - lighting fixtures - are partially permanent, and therefore deserve attention in both choice of style and placing because of the added value they lend the color scheme and lines of a room.
