Actually that's just the walls, ceiling, doors, windows, etc. Is the room so square you feel as though you were living in a box? What about the ceiling? Does it seem to rest on your head? Would you like to give the walls a good push? You can change all this and you needn't be Hercules. It can be achieved with a can of paint in the right color, of course. Measure your room and put the floor plan down on your planning chart. A quarter of an Inch equals a foot, so draw your room to scale. Indicate the placement of doors and windows cn the plan. . ''The size and shape of. the room will have a bearing on the colors you select. Cool colors are expanding and make a room look larger. Warm colors make a room look smaller. Tints give the illusion of space, deep dark values make a room seem small er. One light wall and three dark er walls will make a square room seem less square. A long nar row room will seem wider if the long walls are painted a greyed tone and the end walls a bright er, higher keyed color, or dark er color. Woodtrim may contrast with the wall color or blend with it. Contrasting color will make the woodtrim more noticeable and tends to cut down the apparent size of a room. Blending the woodtrim with the wall will min imize ugly fireplaces, badly placed windows, etc. Generally, a room should be decorated in an ascending scale of values, i. e. the floor should be the darkest value, the walls the lighter, and the ceiling the lightest of all. Light colors reflect a great deal of light, while dark colors absorb light. The amount of sunlight a room receives is an important factor. Some rooms receive a great deal of early morning glare. If it makes you waken too early, dark green, navy, cr smoke grey walls will help to absorb some of the glare. On the other hand, if a room receives little sunlight, warm tints will be the happiest choice. Yellow is the closest to sunlight. Do not forget the added dec orative possibilities of colored ceilings. Here again the amount of light the room receives is important. Dark ceilings will make a high ceiling seem lower, but will also absorb light. Light ceilings make the ceiling re cede and reflect light. The ef fect of an over high ceiling can also be counteracted by a chair rail and dado of a contrasting color. The same principles apply to the use of wallpaper or paint. Where xwalls are in poor condi tion, wallpaper will do a better camouflage job than paint. Striped wallpaper will make a ceiling seem higher. A large all-over floral or medallion de sign will make a large room ap pear less barn-like. Flowered wallpaper on a ceiling will lower it. A tiny all-over floral in a room with dormer windows and slanted ceilings or walls will help to unify the whole. Scenic wallpapers and leaf patterns add depth and dis tance. Papers with strong ad vancing color are suitable for large- rooms only; while papers with soft receding ' colors and small scale designs are perfect for small rooms. Sometimes one wall of pattern and three painted or solid paper ed walls can be very interesting'. In this way we are able to use small quantities of very unusual wallpaper without the expense of papering an entire room. Un usual' decorative effects may be iIm'I 111 uv 1mm ll ww mi iiOiiiii 'I i '111 MULE IS STAR . . . Francis, long-eared star of a Hollywood ctudio, has his own dressing room. He studies name on door with ctarlet Lucille Qarkley. obtained with the clever use of wallpaper borders. Doorways, windows, and bed alcoves may be outlined with wallpaper bor ders. Marble patterns and mod ern textured effects in wallpaper can be applied to the tops, sides, drawers or doors of outmoded pieces of furniture to modernize them. Colors always look three times darker on the wall than they do in small samples. They to get large samples of wall color or wallpaper and tack them on the wall in your room. Live with the colors a week or so and you will know at the end of that time if they really satisfy you. The colors should be tested un der artificial light as well as daylight, because night lighting changes some colors greatly. Assemble all the colors you would like to use together. Would the combination look well in an ensemhble of clothing? Are they colors that become you? If you wouldn't like to wear the colors, don't expect your room to. The room should form a flattering background for you. Pearl L. Schultz, Home Extension Agent Top Midwest Band Will Play At V.F.W.
