Eight MUe Rd , Bast ?etroit, Mich. Furniture Show Emphasizes Airy Pieces in Color Chicago (AP) ? Today's furniture is colorful, casual and airy. It is ideal for the small home, often can be utilized in several rooms and is equipped with hard-to-hurt sur faces. Color was stressed at the Interna tional Home Furnishings Market held here at the Merchandise Mart and American Furniture Marts. Woods took on new hues. "The contemporary trend is not so new now." says Edward Worm ley, furniture designer.. "There's continued interest in free designs, with better quality and a kind of elegance that doesn't shout." New Wormley creations include a Bristol blue upliolstered occa sional dining chair with laminated ash frame. A love seat on a ma hogany frame is upholstered in aqua textured fabric filled with silver threads. It has a deepened channel where seat and back meet to give it a new look. Colors in upholstery fabrics have drifted away from bright reds and yellow greens. They are quiet with deep blues and blue-greens. Color refinement also is in woods. Din ing room furniture may be finished in charcoal. Bedroom pieces ar$ tinted in light jade green and mi* ty pink colors. Mahogany woods are finished in two-tone effects. Upholstered, wood and metal pieces are used as room dividers. See FURNITURE. Page 4, Section 2, Builders Say People Don't Know What They Want By DAVID G. BARKt THBR What's the matter with most plans (or new houses? Follow peo ple around as they i^pect a build er's house and listen to their com ments. Talk to others who have lived in similar houses long enough for the first thrill to wear off. You'll find out: 1. The rooms are too small. 2. The plan has no relation to the way the family wants to live. "I think the public is very con fused about what they want in a house and what they like," ob served a member of a recent round table conference staged by House and Home, trade publication. "They know so little about what they want you'd almost imagine they'd been living in trees. One of our biggest jobs is to help them know what to look for." It may be hard for you to be lieve that, especially if you can't find a house with a kitchen big enough to prepare a family reunion dinner, or with a living room big enough to seat more than five or six persons. . "Space is the biggest luxury," an eminent architect told that con ference. He added that contem porary design ? open planning, with partitions reserved mainly for the privacy of sleeping quarters^is the most efficient and economical way to provide space. "Women don't realize," a big builder responded, "how much easier and pleasanter it is to get the meals in an open kitchen and how much nicer it is not to be shut > Walnut and rattan room divider utilizing pipkin, pUatk and hrnaa By Jaha Wisner.

Maybe you'll agree, if the build er provides ventilation powerful enough to keep the fumes of boil ing turnips from settling on the pi^no. "The kitchen has to be opened up and be an intelligent and at. tractive part of the house," the architect said. "We have not only gotten away from having maids, we've gotten to the point where we've stopped pretending we've got a maid."
