got down to ZL decorating scheme. "Something pretty. feminine and restful," I re- minded him, "and two basic colours which can be adapted to- any aspect."

I'specially stressed this point because I know that many women start planning their bedrooms long before the house itself has been decided upon,

Our final decision was a combination of two colours which are essentially feminino; the soft, warm shade of pink called peach, and lurquoise bluc, which is something betweon blue and green and a parileutntly good colour for curtalın.

The third subsidiary colour in a room based on these two shades might

e old ivory, parchment or gold.

Rooms with a sunless aspect were our first thought, and for these we planned palest peach walls, with cell- ing to match and woodwork in old Ivory. This gives you a setting which clown with warmthi and sunshine even en a dull day, and we found the scheme good for rooms which are inclined to be dark

Use Sparingly

Turquoise is more effective if it is not too overpowering; to in thila par- ticular room it was used for curtains, dressing table mats and candies, and for a cilshion on the bed.

The bedspread was old" gold, and the carpet a warm fawn colour with turquoise wool rugs bealdó the bed. This produced a well-balanced schicine with cool and want colours in the right proportions.

Colours could, of course, boʻreversed. With a plain turquoise or patterned carpet you could have, pid gold ctr- tains bordered with tumuoise and a turquoise pelmet, old gold bedsprend as before, 'and turquoise candies with a peneli gidas trinket set. :

Turquowo shades appear in many Indiati carpets, by the way, combined with other tones of blue, green and _pink, and the general effect of these. colours on a cream or fawn ground is very good for a bedroom.

A Eyenniore suite with a banding of darker walnut is a sitggestion for this rosu, and you could give it an unusual touch by à divan bed with a head- board covered with turquoise material to match curinină or peltnet.

Still another suggestion is a divan bed, petticoated dressing-lable, and painted whitewood wardrobe and tall- boy. These two could be painted old ivory to match the woodwork, with the handles and mouldings in turquoise. Flower Rosies

The petticoat for the dressing table would be chintz with nu ivory ground and pattern, of flower pasies in tur. quolsé and peach.

Curtains could be either the plain turquoise materini or chintz to match the dressing table, carpet plain light fawn.

For a sunny aspect the artist aug gested walls papered or distempered the palest possible shade of turquoise, with ceiling in old ivory and wood. work this time matt painted to match the walls,

We decided on walnut, mahogany

turquoise scheque might be a little im- practical for a living room, so here the artist suggested, the foundation of old ivory walls, ceiling and paint.

Rough textured wallpapers in an old ivory colour are practical for living roons, for although they are a light colour y do not show diri easily.

The rest of the scheme was built up on the two main colours. We decided on a carpet patterned in blue, and freen on a fawn ground as being better for wear than a plain one.

Curtains and pelmet could be tur- quoise, with gluas curtains of pale gold net.

Easy chairs could be upholstered in fawn moquette or tapestry with a small pattem in darker fawn or brown: this neutral colour would give full value to the peach, turquoise and gold cushions,

I would choose peach tinted glass or parchment for the lampshades in this room; they shed n most becom- ing pink glow over the walls at night..
