TURQUOISE

XXIT bedrooms particularly

W in mind, umur ad I Rot down to a 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 feminine; the soft, warm shade of pink enlled peach, and turquoise blue, which is something between blue and green and a particularly good colour for airtain

The third subsidiary colour in a room based on these two shades might be old Ivory, parchment or gold.

Rooms with a sunless aspect werd our first thought, and for these we planned palest peach walls, with cell- ing to match and woodwork in old tory. This gives you a setting which glows with warmihi and sunshing oven on a dull day, and we found the scheme good for rooms which are inclined to be dark,

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

Colours could, of course, be reversed. With a plain turquoise or patterned carpet suu could have old gold, cur- tains borstered with turquolo and a turquoke pelmet, old gold bedsprend as before, and turquoise candles with

Turquoise shades appear in many Indian curpeta, by the way, combined with other tones of blue, green and pink, and the general offect of these colours on a cream or fawn ground is very good for a bedroom

A scheme like this need not tie you

with regard to furniture. Peach Enlis are a little warn us a background for mahogany, but they are. gox-for-wal-the artist suggested the foundation-of-

nut, the lighter shades of natural oak, weathered oak and sycamore.

A sycamore suite with a banding of darker walnut is a suggestion for this room, and you could give it an unusual touch by a divan bed with a head- board covered with turquoise malerint to match curtains or pelmet.

Still another suggestion in a divan bed, pelticoated dressing-table, and painted whitewood wardrobe and toll- boy. These two could be painted ald Ivory to match the woodwork, with the handles and mouldings in turquoise.

Flower Posies

The petticoat for the dreasing table would be chintz with an Ivory ground and pattern of flower postes in tur- quoisir and peach.

Curtains could be either the plain furquoise material Or chintz to match the dressing table, carpet plain Helt fawn.

For a sunny aspect the artist sug- gested walls papered or distempered the palest possible shade of turquoise, with celling in old ivory and wood- work this time mats painted to match the walls

We decided on walnut, mahogany

old ivory walls, celling and paint.

Rough textured wallpapers in an old Ivory colour are practical for living rooms, for although they are a light colour they do not show dirt easily.

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

Curtain and pelmet could be tur- quoise, with glass curtains of pale gold net.

Enzy chaire could be upholstered In A fan moquette or tapestry with a amall pattern in darker fawn Dr brown; this neutral colour would give full value to the peach, turquolee and gold cushions.

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