A guide to furnishing city apartments focuses on harmonious design for limited spaces. It advises subdued wall tones, proportional furniture, and matching living room and dining areas to create a homelike atmosphere in compact flats.
The article describes two family flats as popular urban housing, noting shared foundations and roofs with only extra walls and interior finish added. It outlines a brick 34 by 47 foot building with full basement, two two-room apartments, a sunparlor, dining room, kitchen, and two bedrooms per unit, plus ample closet space. It emphasizes steady rental income reducing overhead and mentions an interior decorating example by Queensboro Corporation to show homey, affordable furnishing options.
The dining room should center on the table as the room’s focal point. Decorations and furnishings should reinforce a cheerful, comfortable mood, with the space arranged to support family meals and pleasant gatherings despite any hardships.
This piece outlines modern home financing options including contract sales, first and second mortgages, and building and loan associations. It stresses planning costs, paying a portion upfront, and choosing reputable firms, with guidance on lot payments, ten to fifteen year horizons, and stock-backed mortgage paths.
This three story frame building on a narrow lot offers five rooms per unit plus a sun parlor and two bedrooms. The design features a large living room with light on multiple sides, a well lit dining room, a roomy kitchen, and efficient ice saving pantry. The owner may occupy one floor while leasing the others.
