I am asked by

a young married woman, who has completed a fawn and belge effect in her dining-room.

She is surprised because the room lacks character" and has n" dull, lifeless nir."

The answer is-she did not know that all successful colour schemes depend upon the discreet use of three colours.

Or, if you don't mind being dit- ferent from your friends, on the bold use of gay colours..

Now Schomos

I aften get letters from women wie need help in the matter of home de- coration.

I'm starting with the cool scheme beatise green is n favourite colour. What about planning pale spring; green walls as a background for walnut or mahogany Turnhuire in a sunny bed-

The complement of green is red, so I would choose a worm pink tone, such as ruse or pink, as the second main entuur. and a third colour like gold. which will tone with both, to complete the alaner of the scheme.
