These few simple colour rules may be followed with advantage:—

_English Oaken Dining-rooms_:—Rich brown with creamy whites, silver and

glass, and blue pottery.

_Italian Halls and Palaces_:—Marble, with gold decorations, black and

white flooring, palms, heavy crimson drapery.

_Gothic Baronial Halls_:—Distempered walls, red and black patterns, with

a little gold, white walls above frieze-rails, dark green hangings in

doorways.

_French Drawing-rooms_:—White and gold only, or with pale green and

rose-coloured panels.

_Cottages_:—Limewashed walls, black oak beams, doors, and other

woodwork.

Modern interiors require no comment or directions.
