Use a five inch plate rail to break plate rows and place an occasional bowl or pitcher. A six to eight foot high rail suits ceiling height. A kitchen door screen is essential in dining rooms with options from silk to leather. Cushions and wall padding use mattress cushions and down cushions for comfort. An Oriental drapery with multicolor stripes complements dark wood Belgian and Flemish furniture. Fringe gains popularity for bed valances and window hangings. Metallic burlands, finished at the back, are easy to hang like wallpaper.
