You can raise room temperature while lowering your fuel lip
Keeping your fuel bills
clown and your room tern-
perature up is more than
a matter of fooling the
thermostat. It can be done
with a large . measure of
psychology.
Color is a good place to
start the warming up proc-
ess. It doesn't have to be
a major undertaking:
touches like paintings,
prints, wall hangings and
cushions in warm, rich
colors can start rooms
glowing.
One surefire way to fan
the psychological embers
-is with an area rug. To-
day's Uninhibited rugs can
go all over the place, cre-
ating islands of soft com-
fort and dazzling color on
vinyl, tile or wood floors.
And on top of wall-to-wall
carpeting they will enliven
what might have become
a boring floor, or even
disguise a, bald spot!
The ryas that have be-
come a decorating staple,
thanks to Scandinavian
tradition and inventive-
ness, impart a feeling of
warmth and coziness with
their thick shaggy tex-
tures.
Modern ryas are woven
of richly-colored yarns in
patterns which continue
the old Viking heritage
with the most modern de-
signs and fibers,
Now ryas have an added
faShion appeal in, the rugs.
just brought here by Ege
Rya, the Danish company
originally responsible for
introducing the rya rug to ,
America in the 'Sixties.
Their New Look collection
is sculptured.
The multidimensional
effect is produced with a
brand-new weaving tech-
nique, developed by the
company, which results in
a visually appealing mix-
ture of high and low pile,
but whieh gives an even
tread underfoot.
With their ups and
downs in surface texture,
the new designs take on
intriguing effects such as
free-flowing ribbons of
molten color and other
abstract images with a
pattern-on-pattern look,
many, of them in geomet-
ric forms,
Their colors, selected to
blend with the newest
American home fasl)ion
trends, are in either sub.
tie, muted tones or in vi-
brant shades that enhance
the fresh quality of the
designs, making them nat.
ural "warmer-uppers."
So, when temPeratures
drop, there are ways to
make personal thermom•
eters rise. And all without
an extra sweater.
WALL-TO-WALL CARPETING, practical in some instances,
can produce a bland room. The owners of this living room
up-dated. and added zest to the seating group in front of
their fireplace with only the addition of this sculptured
Danish area rug, "Hekla," from Ege Rya's \ moderately
priced "New Look" collection. Despite its multi-levels, the
rug feels even underfoot as a result of a technological
achievement in the weaving procss. It is made of acrylic.
Maintenance-free materials
can save.you time and money
Fashions this fall will highlight color, texture and
style — all designed to enhance the proportions of
your exterior. Well, while you're thinking about re-
decorating yourself, apply the same principles to the
exterior of yoiir home as well. After all, w well-coordi-
nated appearance doesn't just happen — it is created.
"Your hoMe is a major investment," notes Sharon
Kay Ritchie, Director of the Home Institute for Certain-
teed Products Corporation, Valley Forge, Pa. "It pays
in the long run to maintain it properly and its appear-
ance can be a source of great pleasure and pride. Its
`curb appeal' can also make a huge difference when you
decide to sell.
"In any case, do give thought to the overall and long-
term benefits of a planned redecorating approach.
Think, too, in terms of maintenance-free building ma-
terials which will save you time and money over the
life of your home."
