Ray Bradbury “The Secret of Wisdom”

“… A single lemon lamp The sunny yellow of summer illuminated the walls. The perfectly planed parquet floor glistened with a dark river, and along this surface floated rugs with dazzling blue, white, and bright plumage like the lush green of the jungle, like South American birds. Here and there on four tables in white porcelain vases fresh-cut hothouse flowers were burning like calm, generous bonfires. And from the wall above the fireplace I looked across at all this to the portrait of a serious young man with eyes the same color as the mantelpiece tiles—a bright blue, sparkling with intelligence and the joy of life.”

Arthur Conan Doyle “The Lost World”

“In the middle of the room, on a fluffy red carpet There was a black table with gold inlay from the period of Louis XV – a wonderful antique, blasphemously riddled with eyeglass marks and burn marks from cigar butts. I saw a silver tray on the table with a polished supplier of smoking accessories and bottles.”

Frances Eliza Burnett “The Little Princess”

“Here,” Sara continued, “you can spread a thick, soft blue Indian carpet and put it in this corner Put it on a soft sofa and put pillows on it so that you can sit quietly. “You can hang a bookcase for books above the sofa – then it will be convenient to take them from the sofa. You can put a fur rug in front of the fireplace, cover the walls with wallpaper and hang pictures. The big ones won't fit here, but the small ones are also very nice.”

Thomas Hughes “Tom Brown’s School Years”

“A cozy nook with a few chairs by the fireplace and a small rug in front of the hearth, an old flint and some spurs on the mantelpiece; a sideboard with bright pewter plates and crockery on its shelves; an old walnut table, a few chairs and benches; “There are a few framed embroideries on the walls, a few old prints, and a bookcase of a dozen volumes; smoked hams and other paraphernalia hanging from the ceiling—that is, in fact, the whole situation.”

Sinclair Lewis “Babbitt”

The gray walls were artificially paneled with lacquered whiteboards. True, the Babbitts had moved two old rocking chairs from their old apartment, not very ornamented with carvings, but on the other hand. All the other chairs were new – very deep and comfortablecovered in blue velvet with gold stripes. There was a blue velvet sofa in front of the fireplacenext to it is a mahogany table and a tall floor lamp with a gold shade.

Lucy Maud Montgomery “Anya of Green Gables”

“The walls were not hung with tapestries of gold and silver, but Covered with tastefully selected wallpaper depicting blossoming apple branchesIt is decorated with some beautiful paintings that Mrs. Allan donated to Anya. <...> There was no “mahogany furniture” here either, it was replaced white painted bookcase, cushioned wicker rocking chair, dressing table covered with white frilled muslin napkins, Antique mirror in gilded frame “The plump pink cupid and bunches of purple grapes painted on it used to decorate the drawing room and a low white bed.”

Wilkie Collins “The Woman in White”

“On the ground fluffy, soft carpetdrowning in my feet. Along one of the stretched walls a bookcase made of some rare woodinlaid. It was low and had symmetrically arranged marble busts. On the opposite wall were two ancient pinnacles, on the upper one, between them, a picture under glass—“Madonna and Child”; Raphael’s name was engraved on a gilded plaque attached to the frame. To my right and left were mosaic-worked cabinets and small tables, overflowing with Dresden porcelain and ivory, covered in bronze. expensive vases and all kinds of rare trinkets… All this glittered with silver, gold and precious stones.”

Elizabeth Gaskell “North and South”

The dining room in his house was beautifully and expensively furnished, albeit with rather cumbersome furniture.but not a single detail in his surroundings, except perhaps the window seat where his mother usually sat, betrayed the presence of women in the house. <...>Small glazed table “Next to the window opposite the door was a bookcase with a tall white Chinese vase, hung with English ivy, pale green birch, and copper-coloured beech leaves. Near the armchairs stood beautiful baskets for needlework, and on the table were a few books, all in disarray, as if they had just been placed there.”
