Tricks She Uses
On Model Homes
By BETTY MILES
StoF StoH Writer

In decorating model homes.
Mrs. Weinstein chooses fur
niture compatible with the
price Of the home. She is
convinced furniture beyond
the buyers pocketbook makes
him reject the house as too
expensive, too.
Mrs. Weinstein starts with
the kitchen, advising the
builder on the color Of the
appliances. co-ordinating the
floor color to the appliances,
and the walls to the floor.
This beginning sets the
tone Of the whole house, she
believes. Since kitchens open
either into living rooms or
into dining rooms which in
turn open into living rooms,
she co-ordinates the living
room and kitchen walls and
the floors and carpeting in
both. If patterned, draperieS
pick up these colors.
Furniture is selected with
in the colors set by the
walls, floors and drapery.
One piece may be an accent
color, or a room accessory
may provide this.
Soto Selections
Mrs. Weinstein has found q
straight sofa, of about "a to
80 inches. the least space
consuming for the living
room.
People think Of love seats
as small objects" she noted.
yet two matching love seats
occupy 100 inches Of space"
Sectional sofas are q mis-
take in other than outSize liv-
ing rooms, too, she feels.
Drawing rooms to scale on
paper, or making chalk
marks on the floor in imag-
mary furniture shifting is
recommended.
But allowance must be
made for realistic placement.
In trial runs, just as in real
ity, chairs and coucheS must
be set several inches from the
walls, Mrs. Weinstein says.
"And remember-it takes 3
feet Of clear space, the equiv
alent Of an adult standing
with arms akimbo-to walk
through q room"
Focal Points
A couch Is too static as q
focal point on o long wall

Rooms filled with prima
. donna furniture will never
know peace.
So counsels a local decora-
tor, who believes the most
: serious pitfall homemakers
face is wanting everything in
a room to be impressive.
Yet everything can't be of
equal Importance, nor each
. piece dramatic, Mrs. Anne
WeinStein believes.
A homemaker may select
a couch. a chair, a table, a
breakfront, for its distirfc-
tion and originality. But a
restless. disturbing effect is
produced when these vivid
pieces are assembled in one
room.
Teamwork in line and color
is the key to harmony, she
advises.
AS head Of the Builders
Decorating Studio, Mrs.
Weinstein has decorated
model homes in many area
Developments, including
Crestwood Co Instruction
, Corps Ravenswood Farm in
. Annandale, and Richmarr
Construction Corps Sedge-
wick Forest near Mount Yer
non.
Her goal comparable to
future homeowners'-is to
e make each room look as
large and attractive as pos
= sible.
: Competitive furniture Gre
ates an illusion Of clutter,
she has found.
= Certoin Motehes
NO advocate OF completely
monotone rooms, which she
finds dull and uninteresting,
Mrs. Weinstein feels one
color can be effective as a
background. Certainly, rugs
and draperies, or rugs and
walls, should match, she
advises.
Families buying basic fur
nishingS might choose a
couch and chairs in the
same color. along simple
e lines. Accents can be ac-
quired later. A smart, boldly
striped couch. on the other
hand, dominates every future
purchase.
You're always safer with
furniture that doesn't shout
at you. If it's unobtrusive it
