knows enough not to furnish a small
room in blue, dark room in purple,
light room in white. But there are
also few other facts it is we'll to re-
member in regard to these colors.
Scientific experiments have proved
within recent years that every color has
its psychological effects, the Importance
of which has not yet been measured. 1t
is known, for example, that red has an
exciting effect upon people, that pure
blue is cold, consciously elevating, !"
and that yellow is as cheerful as the
sunlight itself. From this it is evident
that large portion of red or of blue III
a room is not good thing, their effect
being too positive. A yellow back
ground in a very dark room helps to
remove the gloom, but the wise decor
ator steers clear OF the primary colors
in furnishing home. A red bowl here,
a blue pillow there and yellow candle
stick somewhere else are about the
largest objects of the primary colors
used. There are many beautiful shades
of all of them. however. that are per-
fectly safe, and that brings us to the
matter of the color scheme which marks
the home decorations of today.
Add yellow to red, and you get
orange, russell, buff, brown, all shades
which harmonic. You can do it your
self with small box of water colors.
Add blue to yellow. and you get green,
citrlne, sage, and so on. Thus you
have color scheme-sage draperies.
a cltrine rug with dark green border,
yellow-brown furniture, and slight
dash of pure yellow.
1t is not quite so simple as that
though. Color in home furnishings.
like color in anything else. is sub
ject requiring careful study in order
to achieve artistic effects, ,notwith-
standing the fact that the present CEN
fury knows lot more about it than
the last. And in addition to color thsre
is now a new probIem-the problem Of
perfumes. Alas, we may yet discover
that our olfactory talents have long
been neglected; that we have ignored .
whole art in itself-the art of smelling.
