So you think Chippendale has Something to do with a Disney cartoon — but you're not sure? And Louis Quinzé — isn't he that great new hairdresser everyone's talking about? So you're not an interior design- €r — so what? Don't let a lack of decorating savvy stand between you and the oh-so-perfect home you have been longing for. Ann Britten, design consultant for La-Z-Boy Chair Co., explains, “If you know what you like — what you are comfortable with — it's easy to create the home of your dreams by choos- ing furniture and accessories that are uniquely ‘you”. The bottom line in decorating is the wonderful feeling you get when you gain awareness of your Personal style. Britten advises, “It's important to keep in mind that it's your home, and your rooms should reflect your style and personality, If it looks good to you, it will proba- bly look good to everyone else.” If you are a bit unsure of exact- ly what your personal Style is, Britten offers the following guide to help you “put a label on” your personal decorating style. Country Think fresh morning air, dew- covered grass and the smell of bread baking. You're a country type, says Britten, if you crave Patchwork quilts, ruffled curtains that rustle at the slightest breeze, Or an overstuffed sofa and reclin- er covered in a floral miniprint You can go rustic with bleached pine furnishings with plumply cushioned upholstery, or for a richer look, try lightly ‘stained wood tables, chintz draperies and ruffled kick pleats on sofas and chairs. Whether American, French or English Country, whichever you choose, the look is pure comfort — an inviting reward at the end of a busy day. Contemporary Think sleek, spare and simple. If you love abstract art or halogen LIQUIDAT 4 aes YOUR DECORATING STYLE should reflect you. Whether you lean toward Early American, French Country or high-tech Con- temporary styling, your home should reflect you and the way you live. Traditional styling continues to be a favorite among today's consumers. The classic and enduring style of this traditional sleigh style sofa by La-Z-Boy features rich and regla stripes in Popular jewel-tone colors, all classics of traditional home decor. lighting, the contemporary look is for you. Do you want your living room to look as high fashion as you do? Dress it for success with chrome and glass or marble- topped (real or faux) tables, a mirrored wall, flexible modular seating and lamps that do double- duty as sculpture. Good news: The contemporary look isn't as stark and cold as it once was, The best new designers are retaining contemporary's clean lines with- out sacrificing warmth. Traditional Think “staying power,” says Britten. Traditional desing is clas- sic and enduring. If an afternoon spent hunting for antiques i your idea of heaven, or if you covet your great aunt's gorgeous brass candlesticks, it's a good bet you're the traditional type. Oriental rigs, carved moldings, textural striped fabrics, rich jewel-tone colors and furniture withea “look of the past” fit intg your design plan as well. Although the traditional look is a bit more formal than others, it is a classic and enduring style that is sure to be around as long as you are. ON SALE All remaining '94's MUST be sold.

Eclec- tic design is a melange of various Styles, Britten explains. Expect the unexpected — a chrome and glass top table over an Oriental Tug, a stylish Queen Anne chair that's also a La-Z-Boy® recliner, a halogen floor lamp, and an Andy Warhol print hanging above a chintz-covered sofa. There is a freedom of expression in eclectic design. Keep this in mind when you are shopping for home furnishings — forget about matched sets and go with what you like “Finally.” counsels Britten, “in decorating your home, as in all other aspects of your life, loosen up. have fun, take a few risks, be true to yourself and you can't go wrong.” REDUCED $11,000 © 1,193 Sq.
