This made its first public appearance as a royal mantle during a 12th century English coronation. And later, velvet robes were created for royalty in scarlet and purple . . . then green and azure. Velvet is no longer reserved ^r royalty. But even with uiass production and moderate prices, it still retains an inher­ ent elegance. And it is within reach of every woman. In dress, it is shown everywhere, from the great fashion houses to tiny boutiques and depart­ ment stores. Velvet is used for Fabric Design Go Native The use of geometr ic pat terns has increased in uphols tered fabrics as wel l as carpets . The geometr ic designs include just about everything done tn the Western Hemisphere before i t became fashionable to leave Lurope and set t le here . But now the geometr ies are going nat ive, and are being taken direct f rom the ar t produced by the North American Indians.

In home furnishings, velvet , is a year-round fabric. And . today's homemaker can select velvet upholstery with com- ' plete freedom. It is as dur-' able as it is beautiful. Modern methods of weaving the basic cotton fiber with synthetics and the use of protective fin- . ishes make it suitable for any purpose. And today's labora­ tories have created a full range of colors to match, contrast or ' blend with every color scheme.

The flexibility of modulars of­ fer endless arrangement pos­ sibilities ... particularly suited to relieving the boredom of a one-room apartment. When one room must serve many purposes, there has to be a distinction between areas, at least to provide a change of atmosphere.

Have you ever been invi ted by fr iends for a house-warming ir i a luxurious apar tment , only to real- • i /e that this luxury is confined to even less space than you have? Space is expensive to bui ld and laborious to maintain, so ver t ical space within our homes has a new importance. Look around your home with an aler ted eye. Is there a small , area where you have been con­ tent to hang a paint ing? Visual ize i t wi th an etagere , cabinet or bookcase that occupies as l i t t le as 18 to 30 inches in width, bur c l imbs upward to 74 inches or more. These ta l l pieces are more than funct ional . They become archi tectural s ta tements to lead the eye upward, spreading the interest of a beaut i ful room over several levels . Planning a Color Scheme When a chi ld has a box of crayons and a color ing book, al l sor ts of unexpected, but wonder­ ful , th ings begin happening, pur­ ple cows, pink poodles , yel low and orange t rees . Maybe if we could al l go back in t ime, and throw away al l our preconceived (and restr ic t ing) ideas for what is correct and what is proper in put t ing colors together , bet ter and more ima­ ginat ive decorat ing plans might be the resul t . I t is cer ta inly worth a t ry , so get some crayons and t racing ' paper . Make a t racing of a maga­ zine photograph or i l lustrat ion of a room set t ing. I f you 've ever had a secret desire to combine wild and unl ikely colors this is the t ime to f ind out i f they work. Mistakes won' t cost a thing and you can experiment to your hear t ' s content . I t may sound l ike chi ld 's play, but this is t l .^ way professional inter ior decora­ tors begin organizing a room: with rough sketches, pnd always in color . Keep in mind the magic of color ; that is , what color can do. If you remember a beaut i ful room you have vis i ted, color is a lmost a lways the f i rs t th ing that comes to mind. I t was a gold room, with splashes of green; or you wil l remember a blue room. This is because color has the power to create mood; i t uni tes al l the e lements that go into the furnishing of a room. Color has an effect on people . Blue and green are cool colors and their presence is soothing and restful . Red, orange and yel low are warm colors that wil l make rooms feel sunnier and l ivel ier . Color a lso has an effect on space. I t can make larger rooms seem smaller , open space in small rooms, and even raise or lower the cei l ing. In other words, i t can show off a room's best features or hide a dozen f laws. Lighter and cooler colors are expansive and wil l make rooms seem larger . Dark and warm colors wil l appear c loser . I f you feel the cei l ing is too high, paint i t l ighter than the wal ls . I f a room is broken up by too many doors , windows and beams, paint everything, including the woodwork, the same color . An­ other way to minimize defects is to cover wal ls and cei l ings in a small a l l -over pat terned wall ­ paper . To f ind out i f your ideas work, begin by color ing the wal ls . The second color wil l be the f loor: indicate area rugs, carpet ing .and wood. Next , decide on pat­ terned and plain uphoJj j tery. Plain, with pr int pi l lows is more f lexible i f you l ike frequent changes of cur ta ins . Final ly , color the accessories in something real ly dar ing. There are dozens of ways to color a room, and the best one of a l l is the one you l ike, the one that sui ts your tas te .
