Calcimine and water paint are effective in simple and unpretentious living rooms of any size, but should not be used in rooms intended to be sumptuous, elegant, or formal in effect.
Calcimine is not desirable in the kitchen, as it cannot be cleaned and is, therefore, unsanitary.
Paper will not stand steam and moisture, and calcimine is scarcely better.
Of course calcimine is the simplest and cheapest style of decoration, and recommends itself to the anti-germ disciple because it can be renewed annually at slight expense.
