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.
