Common sense about interiors.
A 1910 trade booklet issued by the Lowe Brothers Company, a paint and varnish maker, offering practical advice on interior decoration for householders and decorators. The pictures are colour-tinted interior views of rooms with painted woodwork, panelling, and built-in cabinets, showing how wall colour and trim work together. A designer could take from them the tonal pairings of sage or ochre walls with dark oak woodwork and the rose-and-grey palette of the bedroom and dining scenes.
