What reading level is The Decoration of Houses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
(example of chinoiserie decoration.) VIII ENTRANCE AND VESTIBULE THE decoration of the' entrance necessarily depends on the nature of the house and its situation. A country house, where visitors are few and life is simple, demands a less formal treatment than a house in a city or town ; while a villa in a water- ing-place where there is much in common with town life has necessarily many points of resemblance to a town house.
It should be borne in mind of entrances in general that, while the mai...n purpose of a door is to admit, its secondary purpose is to exclude. The outer door, which separates the hall or vestibule from the street, should clearly proclaim itself an effectual barrier.
It should look strong enough to give a sense of security, and be so plain in design as to offer no chance of injury by weather and give no suggestion of interior decoration.
The best ornamentation for an entrance-door is simple panel- ling, with bold architectural mouldings and as little decorative detail as possible.
