What reading level is Household Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To-day enlightened architects, well read in the ideas and needs which constituted the basis of the old decoration, are applying the same general principles which were used then, to meet the present decorative needs, of which that of ceilings forms a feature. The first thought of a decorator is to study the style of his room, and, whatever be its form, to adapt the colors and the general character of the ornament to its structural requirements. The Roman, Italian, and Greek architect- ure, as we... have seen, had their own differ- ences, and the Gothic, Renaissance, and Queen Anne styles theirs also, which was each suitable for its own kind of rooms. Our buildings have other aims, and the tasteful architect, though he always plans 110 his decoration to follow broadly the type of the architecture iii which the room is mod- elled, at the same time remembers the vari- ous conditions of climate and social arrange- ment which should modify all ornament. The exact designs of former periods ought scarcely ever to be reproduced ; and our architects, while mastering the characteris- tics of the old styles, and adopting modifica- tions of what is suitable in them, are often introducing novel elements both in England and this country, which give their decora- tion both dignity and beauty.
