While variety is rite spice of life, such a wide choice of furniture styles makes success- ful decorating a tricky business. What goes with what, !nix- ing and matching of patterns, wood, tones, furniture styles, all present a problem to tire aver- age decorator who wants to re- do a root or her entire home. To serve as a guide in suc- cessful decorating, several prominent Canadian firms have joined forces to create decora- tor-designed room settings for the average Canadian home, In a wide variety of styles, the room settings will be reproduc- ed in fine furniture stores across the country. Not only the basic furniture and floor coverings, but the accessories that put the finishing touches on any room, are subtly blended. The end result -- room settings that can be reproduced in their entirety or can serve as an inspiration to any home owner. The key points to watch, say the team of decorators who created the room settings, are the use of natural materials -- rich warm wood tones, textur- ed fabrics, beautifully bared floors. Watch for enriched fabrics and colors -- velvet in all its variations as well as other fab- rics of depth and richness. Blue is the big color but a color scheme of growing importance is neutral with a Angle color accent. 130(4,144; with the Mediterranean theme, terra- cotta and other gold-brown tones continue in importance. Patterns are Seen every- where and they're 'nixed to per- fection. Paisley and stylized geometries are Important. Win- dows take on special meaning. Modern window dressing nleans far more than a pair of drapes. Floors are no longer smother, ed in carpets. All influences point to a natural look for floors with area rug accents. Con- temporary floor coverings re- produce the infinite beauty of travertine, mosaic, tile, wood tones and cork to provide sur- face interest that's in keeping with the room setting and sup- remely easy to care for. Upholstered furniture offers a large complement of com- fort than ever before, manag- ing to combine deep soft cush- ions with trim, slim lines. Lovely wood grains make their appearance in case goods whose lines often reproduce the graceful curves 01 Spanish furni- ture but lightened and scaled down to fit the Canadian home. Home entertainment units are now matching their designs to the current furniture themes. Stereo sets appear in Spanish, Oriental and contemporary de- signs to complement any room decor. INDICATING THE "total look" in home decorating, this display features Spanish influence in the comfortable yet elegant upholstered furniture, complemented by octagonal coffee table and occasional pieces, the home entertainment unit and floor. Wrought iron design is achieved by a single panel of wallpaper, cut around the design to form an arch effect. CONTEMPORARY CANADIAN furniture de- signs are influenced by the fashions of the thirties. Room setting designed by lead- ing Canadian companies illustrates the to- tally modern look of traditionally influen- ced lines and patterns. The home enter- tainment unit with circular speakers at either end blends with curving lines of the dining room suite. The cork floor adds tawny texture interest to a room that fol- lows a predominantly neutral color scheme.
