Old chests, lacquered a bright red, form a delightful focal point for a family room catch-all.
A Room—Neat but Not Gaudy
By BETTY PEPIS
Contributing Writer
Family rooms need not be
folksy as the latest examples
of this newest room in the
house indicate. Decoration
for this catch-all room can
even be downright sophisti
cated.
One way to do this is to
control the clutter. Lots of
little odds and ends lying
about may make a room look
cozy but it makes it look
corny, too—a state of af
fairs that almost inevitably
leads to the eventual untidi
ness that spoils the effect
even of the best decorated
room.
Shelves for books, storage
for trays and folding tables,
chests for games and extra
floor pillows, even bedding if
the room accommodates a
bed are in order. Copies of
an old sea captain's chest
would be particularly effec
tive catch-alls. Lacquered
in a cheerful bright red.
trimmed with brass-finished
bands they can be stacked
two or even three high.
Once storage needs are sat
isfied, a decorating theme can
spark up a play room. With
the whole world from which
to choose, imports being as
varied as they are today,, it
still could be interesting to
look homeward for a change.
The traditions and crafts of
our own Southwest are suf
ficiently colorful to supply
inspiration.
• Leather sling chairs, weath
ered wood walls—real or sim
ulated with wallpaper—bas
kets for stools, a Navaho rug
on a tile or slate floor might
set the mood. A collection
of cactus plants in pots and
a group of Indian dolls in
brightly colored wood and
gaily trimmed with feathers
would be logical and pretty
additions.

THE EVENING STAR
Washington, D. C., Saturday, January 14, 1961
ideas. The flurry of furs,
fake and otherwise, could be
heart warming notes in a
cold climate. In recent
months decorators have taken
to taming wild animals and
turning them to use as up
holstery, rugs and piles of
pillows. Eskimo stone carv
ings would be appropriate
here.
Hawaii suggests the tropi
cal lanai, an outdoor room
that would transplant inside
quite happily. Reed rugs,
bamboo patterned paper, rat
tan furniture. Japanese paper
lanterns, lush plants—the
tropical variety does well in
steam heated rooms—could
be the background for roughly
carved accessories of inter
esting, richly grained tropical
wood.
Questions and Answers
Question—My living room
seems drab. Sofa is beige
with throw pillows in gold
and olive, two chairs are an
tique gold and two are nut
meg. The room is 12x22 and
"cut up" with radiators,
doors, and windows. What
would you suggest for walls
and curtains?
Answer—All the color in
your room is muted an<| of
medium value. What you
need to pick it up is some
light or very deep color, and
a touch of bright pure color.
Since the room is narrow
and “cut up" architecturally.
I would advise a very pale
sand beige for walls, wood
work. radiator covers and
doors. This light, uniform
background will improve the
room enormously. Curtains
might match the walls or be
a print in tangerine or burnt
orange on white or cream.
Use some accents such as
throw pillows and ashtrays
of tangerine, sharp lime and
charcoal brown.
