A. I’ve recently been visit-
ing elegant homes oo homes
tours and have been struck
by what a lovely color
«a»mf apricot and cream
and blue-gray can be. Also
pile peach, cream and aqua
cant be beat You could uaa
cream for the walls and ceil-
ing. Perhaps the apncot,
cream and blue-gray or the
peach, cream and aqua
could be found in an import-
ant floral fabric you could
put on a chair and a sofa.
Those same colors might be
repeated in a slender stripe
for another chair or pair of
chairs. If you need still an-
other, choose the peach or
apricot for an accent chair
if you like pale colors and
luxury — and if your budget
would allow — what about a
lovely pale Chinese rug in
the colors of your room?
The gorgeous detailing and
fine craftsmanship of a Chi-
nese rug can raise any very
pretty room to the caliber of
outstanding.
Give careful attention,
too, to accessories for your
new room. They also need to
fit into your newly elegant
look. Don’t discard anything
you really like because
there are often ways to up-
date. For example, a rather
casual lamp with heavily
textured shade might be-
come more formal with a

use as much of our furniture
as we caa. Our living room
will have a pair of new
chairs that are bright yellow
and green striped on an off-
white background. Our old
sofa needs a new cover — a
slip cover, I hope. Then we
will need a new rug for the
wood floors and draperies
because our old ones are
faded and do not fit the new
windows. Wkat color should
they be and what color
should the walls and rag
use? — T.T.
A. Starting with the color
scheme from your good pair
of chairs, why don’t you see
if you can find a yellow and
white print that would look
well in a slipcover for your
sofa. Or you might find
something in green and
white or green, yellow and
white.
Whatever you choose for
the dominant color, I think
I’d repeat that at the dra-
peries. Perhaps the off-
white in your chairs would
be the beat wall color. Use
either the yellow or green as
a solid color for an area nig
to soften the seating area of
your living room and leave
the rest of the wood floors
exposed so you can enjoy
the beauty of natural wood.
