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

Ispecially 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 two colours which are essentially feminine; the soft, warm shade of pink called peach, and turquoise blue, wiilch is something between blue and green and a particularly good colour for curtains,

The turd subaldlary colour in a zoon based on these tivo slindea might be old ivory, parchment or gold.

Rooms with a sunless nspect were our first thought, and for these we planned palest peach walla, with cell- sy to match and woodwork in old mary. This gives you a setting which Elown with warmth and sunshine even cnn dull day, and we found the scheme wood for rooms which are inclined to be dark.

Use Sparingly

Turquoise is more effective if it is not too overpowering: so in this par- ticular room it was used for curtains. dressing table mats and candles, and for a cushion on the bed.

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

Colours could, of course, be reversed. WIN a plain turquour or patterned eturpet you could have old gold cur- tains bordered with turditolze and a furquoise pelmet, old gold bedspread 23 before, and turquoise 'candies with * peach glass trinket set,

Turquoise shades appear in many Indian carpets, by the way, combined will other tones of blue, green and plak, and the general effect of these colaura on a cream or fawn-ground is very good for a bedroom.

Flower Posics

"turquoise scheme might be a little im- practical for a ving room, so here the artist suggested the foundation of old ivory walls, velling and paint.

Roughi textured wallpapers in an old Ivory colour are practical for living rooms, for although they are a ligh colour they do not show dirt ensily.

The rest of the scheme was built up on the two main colours. We decided on carpet palterned in blue and green on lawn ground nn being better for wear than `n plain one.

Curtains and pelmet could be tur quose, with glass curtains of pale gold net.

Easy chairs could be upholstered in ‚a fawn moquetle or tapestry with n small pattern in darker fawn or brown; this neutral colour would give full value to the peach, turquolee and gold, cushions.
