DECORATING THE HOME
TN redecorating the home, attenA tion should be given more and more to the replacement of ordinary lighting fixtures with fixtures of greater decorative value. It has come to the attention of many home owners that in the building of a home, the contractor usually makes an allowance for lighting fixtures that is altogether inadequate. At the time the home is built or purchased, the necessary expenditures are as a rule so great that the average home owner accepts lighting fixtures of a type that are not altogether in accord with his desires, but which are installed because of their low price. It is estimated by one of the leading electrical manufacturers that the cost of lighting eguipment in the home should be approximately 3 per cent, of the total cost of the building in order to obtain a sufft* eient number of fixtures of the quality to be in keeping with the other appointments of the home.
