Covering House Walls:
When choosing climbers for planting against houses or high walls, the direction that they will face must be considered since climbers on shaded walls will get little direct sunshine; those on some sunny walls may get too much; and those on walls with sun for part of the day may be exposed to cold winds. The problem hardly arises with fences, since plants quickly rise above them. The soil close to house walls can be dry, and until climbers become established they may need regular watering.Natural and synthetic Wall materials. There is a tendency today either through intention or unavoidable circumstance to find rooms in which the various walls and ceilings are made of two or more different materials. In many dwellings, certain portions of the interior walls are structural and built with permanent materials and must for reasons of economy remain as an element in the decorative treatment of the room in which they are located. Ceiling surfaces often vary from the walls due to the introduction of acoustical materials that have a rough texture. In modern planning, it is often possible to subdivide rooms by means of sliding or folding partitions that are made of materials that differ from the Wall surfaces. The popularity of built-in cabinets covering house walls an entire Wall area, and glass Wall surfaces substituting for windows, add to the variability of walls in the same room. These features create a problem that did not exist to the same extent in historical types of rooms in which similar types of walls were pierced by doors and windows and compositional unity was attained by similarity of treatment on all four sides. The decorator must accept conditions such as these and must select and arrange the movable furnishings to harmonize with the permanent walls and partitions that have been installed by the builder of the house.
