VARIATION IN COLOR SCHEME

Excellent Effect Produced by Sharp Contrast In Tints Employed for the Decoration. When following out a color scheme in furnishing a room, a little touch of an entirely different but harmonizing color produces an excellent effect. This was brought out by a professional decorator who was discussing the furnishings of her own home. jpne room, which was furnished in green and had a green velours couch cover, was especially noteworthy. “The room needs something to break the monotony,” she said, “and some pillows with a bit of old rose coloring win do it" A bedroom where the color scheme is blue and white is attractive, but requires another color to give it warmth. A straight color scheme is easy enough for anyone to carry out bub it calls for considerable skill to make it distinctive, as in the practical application a little variety is usually necessary to make the furnishings really charming.
