dows face, do they admit an abund-
ance of light, or are they small 50
that the room is dark on winter days?
What is the finish of the woodwork,
and what character of furniture is to
be placed in the room?
Let us take for instance, the room
with Northern exposure North light
is cold light, and 1--WE should make
every effort to create warmth of
atmosphere within the room by choos-
ing the warm co1ors-golden-b browns,
ye1lows or soft reds. 1t would be a
mistake to decide on green, blue or
gray, as they invariably create cold
atmosphere. Again, if the windows
are small and do not admit much
light, we should choose the bright
co1ors which will reflect the light as
much as possible The color of the
woodwork should be taken into con-
sideration. If white or ivory paint is
used, the heavy dark colors should be
avoided as white woodwork usually
suggests the lighter tones. If the
dark colors are used, the contrast is
usually too striking. The heavy
colors may be successfully used in a
room with dark stained trim.
The old idea of choosing one color
for the walls, another for the hang
ings and a third for the furniture
coverings is entirely dispensed with.
The modern tendency in decorating is
to use plain surfaces, keeping the
walls as simple as possible and avoid
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1916-03-09

ITO furnish a room successfully we
i must consider it as whole.
The indiscriminate choosing of odd
furnishings will never lead to success.
In selecting the rugs, the hangings,
the wall covering, and the furniture,
let us keep the fact well in mind
that they are to constitute the fur
nishings for a single room, that there
must be the element of harmony ex-
listing between them if the final result
is to be successful. If space per-
n1itted, the subject of harmonious
furnishings could be exhaustively
treated from a theoretical point OF
view, but a little practice will be OF
far greater assistance than all the
theories we could put forth. Com
nonsense will be an excellent guide
linked with a certain quality of the
imagination which will prevent our
rooms from being dull and common
place.
Many living rooms are unsuccessful
IN their decorative schemes because
the furnishings are chosen indlscrlm-
inate1y. AS we choose each individual
object, let us consider the fact as to
whether it is appropriate for the
room and whether it will harmonic
with the other furnishings. We will
learn this by constant observation of
other successfully furnished rooms.
Next to experience, observation is our
best teacher. Take as an example,
a successfully furnished living room
of one of your friends. Note the
colors used, whether the curtains are
figured or plain, what kind OF rug
has been used on the floor and the
general arrangement and design OF
the furniture You need not copy
the room but you will begin to un-
consciously grasp the fundamental
ideas which are expressed there.
These ideas will help you, and al
though your taste may be quite diff
ferent, you will begin to reason out
your own problems in an intelligent
manner.
The living room may be called the
rendezvous for all members of the
household and in consequence, we
have many points to take into careful
consideration in its furnishing. Prob
ably the most important of these IS
comfort, for the living room; no
matter how charming it may appear
in its general scheme of decorating,
is never successful unless it is COM
fortably furnished.
By comfortably furnished l do not
mean that one has merely to choose
easy chairs, for we must GO much
further than this. To obtain this
degree of comfort in the furnishings,
we must consider our problems from
many points of view and reason them
out in practical and intelligent man
ner. And what, we may ask, are
these important points which must be
: considered.
Let us take it for granted that in
selecting the furniture we have
chosen the various pieces which are
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1916-03-09

color. It is always safe to let a
room reflect a single color. IT blue
is a color that meets our fancy and
seems appropriate for the room, do
not be afraid to let it be known that
blue was your choice. Combine with
it go1den-brown chair, dull yellow
lamp shade, an orange colored pillow
or two. Keep the large upholstered
pieces in soft, quiet, colors and one
of the smaller chairs may be quite
gay in color. By accentuating the
bright colors in the smaller objects,
our rooms, will never appear dismal
or dreary.
The proper lighting of the living
room is just as important as the
choosing of good color scheme or
the selecting of harmonious furnish
ings. The lighting fixtures in the
average room are placed far too high.
The old-fashioned center chandelier
was, without question, the most
abominable feature that has ever been
created Because of the necessity of
placing the globes above the head line,
glare of light was thrown in an
upward direction. This is just the
reverse of what it should be. Every
light in any room should be properly
shielded by a shade and the light
thrown down. Lamp light is the
most agreeable because it is low light
properly shielded, particularly so
when the shades are in soft co1ors. l
would like to advise the use of lamp
light in every living room, and only
lamp light. If side lights are used,
they should not be placed higher than
six feet from the floor, or lower.
The style of furnishings which we
choose depends almost entirely upon
our personal taste. Ali the we'll
known styles are good and to state a
preference would merely be a per-
sonal point. We should, however,
take the general style of the house
into consideration before choosing the
furnishings. If, for instance, the
house is Colonial in design and the
woodwork throughout is white, this
fact alone suggests mahogany furni-
ture. The combination of oak furni-
ture and white woodwork is seldom
lIdi lllOuiOuS dllQ SllOllQ DC 5dVO1QGQ.
There are many styles made in mahog-
any, suitable for white painted rooms
and if we use discrimination in our
selections, pieces of various styles
may be successfully assembled. We
no longer buy sets OF furniture for
the living room The old idea that
each piece should match its neighbor
is entirely dispensed with. Keep in
mind the fact that the various pieces
are to be used in the same room, that
some harmony should exist between
hem and we cannot go far wrong.
Oak furniture is suitable for rooms
With stained woodwork. Manyso the
