The Distribution of CoIOrs In the
Room.
When a suitable color scheme has
been secured, the question arises Of
how to distribute the various colors
through the room. A very simple
rule viii help to solve the problem;
namely, that the larger the surface
area the more neutral should be the
color; and, conversely. that the small
er the surface area, the more positive
and intense the colors.
In It's concrete application. this sim
Ply means that the largest surfaces in
the room--the walls. floor and ceiling
should in general be decorated in
neutral colors or hues of low inten-
slty., Floors, which are the foundation
OF the room, should be the darkest in
value in order TO give a sense of sta
billty, Ceilings are the highest value,
with the walls somewhere between the
The differences should not be too
extreme, however. A bedroom may be
DECORATED entirely in light values, and
n nVlng-rOom may present an equally
agreeable harmony in dark or medi-
UNI values, but the opposite extremes
can rearely be combined in a single
room. 4 number of different coiors
may be combined in a single ROOM
provided they do no vary greatly in
tone or Value; for instance, a mas
slNe chair in dark walnut may be
effectively and appropriately cushion
ed with a deep-toned old-gold da-
mask, but tighten the old-gold to a
pale canary yellow. and the eject will
be startling in its incongruity. In the
same way delicate gold and ivory
chair would be out of place in a room
furnished with heavy dark mahog-
any or oak and the intrusion of pale
rose hangings into a scheme of rich
dark grays and blues would be pain
fully discordant, whereas a deep rose
or mulberry would be correct in value
and also harmonious in color.
When several rooms are thrown to-
gether by wide openings, the problem
becomes a trifle more complex. Oc-
casionily it is advisable to decorate
two very small rooms precisely alike
to produce an effect OF spaciousness,
but in larger rooms such treatment
VIII prove monotonous. The question,
then, is how variety may be intro
duced without destroying the sense
of unity or relationship which always
should be apparent in closely con-
Meeting rooms. The answer to the
problem is to repeat in each room one
or more cOlors frOIn the rooms ad-
joining, at the same time adding
others not elsewhere prominently dis
played.
