We have the straw-coloured walls, panelled or plain as preferred. There will be a day-bed, settee or chaise-longue, this giving an opportunity for the use of a large pattern. Plate 39 shows a very beautiful printed linen with ground of soft rose-pink with flowers and a very broad waved band in cream, buff and brown. This may if desired be used for the seating-furniture, all furniture being ivory, cream, or grey. A rug of light buff-brown, thus combining the two other colours of the linen might be chosen. Blue is not yet provided for and it must be unobtrusive: greyed blue pottery and brass candlesticks will be in order. A grey-blue painted console or cabinet with quaint rose, cream, buff, or brown decorations, and a seating-stool, or the odd little chair in Plate 23 with the same colouring would be more individual. The decoration of these should be simple, so as not to conflict with the strongly patterned linen; striping and a flower copied from the linen would be the best motif. A plain taffeta silk of the rose of the linen might constitute the window-hanging and the same, faced on the outside with grey or cream, at the hall door.
