If you have lovely furniture and beautiful accessories, you need carefully chosen window coverings to show them off, to lend proper an easy chair near the window with an ottoman, and have these covered Window Magic as the cornice. If you have a patterned drapery material that is not too distinctive, give the windows a dramatic touch by using a lush swag at the top of the draperies, in a solid color which is predominant in the draper ies. background. . Todays furnishing trends are get appropriate for small informal room. More than any one single thing, remember that windows can add to or detract from the atmosphere of the room, depending upon what you do with them. You may have a problem with the size of windows or with their placement. There are answers to these rather common problems, and they are all attractive ones. Window Problems a problem w I n d o w which has been easily made an asset. Polka dot chintz raffling goes under the table to camouflage mops and buckets. A Venetian blind, with contrasting slats hides the dreary outlook from the window.

Several rows of bright material made into ruffles can b used as the bottom edge. can be readily solved if youll put your imagination and ingenuity to work. Short on Material? Use these Tricks Perhaps you have some, draperies, or a length or two of material which do not cover a not-so-fu- window luxuriously. Or, ll if you have two windows to treat rather than one, with possibly a single pair of draperies, you can do several things. One of the smartest ways to treat the problem is to build a floor length plywood frame for the window or windows. Cover this frame with the material on hand. It will take far less to cover the frame than to make gathered draperies, and the effect is good. The plywood frame can be straight on the outside top as well as on the sides. Inside, the part which is next to the window, on all four sides can be scalloped, large scallops of course, to add the proper decorative note Lets say that you have a wide window or two narrow windows, in the bedroom ordressing room. Why not treat these as one, for they will look better and conserve material. You can set twin dressing tables against the windows. Use sheer material right on the windows, in full folds, then a three or four inch width of ruffle across the top, of the same material as is used to cover the dressing tables. Glass curtains of the same material can supported a family on what you're getting now. Yes, retorted the young man, but they didnt, have cash registers in those days. Blinds Can Solve ting away from the ornate window treatments of yesterday, as these detract too much from what nice furnishings you have in the room, and they are also expensive. Now we have simple window treatments which have a luxury of their own because curtains and draperies are full, though simple. You may have both draperies and sheer curtains at your windows, but since the combination is apt to run into a bit of an investment it may be wise to choose draperies for those windows which give a nice view, while sheer glass curtains are Not So Easy Now A young fellow, a clerk in a tore, troubled by the cost of living, went in to ask his testy old employer for a raise. The employer listened impatiently. Finally, he exclaimed: Why, when I was your age I Problem windows, can, in almost every instance be solved with the correct use of Venetian blinds. If you have a group of two or three small windows which are drab and uninteresting, create a picture win dow effect by treating the entire group as one unit when decorating. You may hang a single large blind instead of two or three smaller ones, and then use a plain or decorated cornice to span the entire group, with one pair of draperies on the extreme sides. If you have an especially pretty wallpaper, such as clusters of flowers or fruit, cut the designs out of the leftover wallpaper, and cut into strips measuring one and inches, the size of each slat. These can be pasted on the slats with just library paste. When you have ceiling - high draperies, use attractive blinds to hide the bare spot above the windows. These are especially good for large windows as the blinds can be drawn to give the privacy desired during day or evening. Once windows have been fitted with blinds, you can use numerous decorating tricks which are simple yet effective. Blind tapes are good to use for repeating the motifs of draperies on them. Artificial flowers sewed on a ribbon and thence onto the tapes are beautifully decorative. Another trick which is very useful especially in dinettes, kitchens or bedrooms is to make ruffling from one of the materials used in the room. These ruffles can be attached to the blind tapes by simple sewing, and are wonderfully dec orative. three-quart- er Give Decorator Treatments To Problem Windows All the draperies in a room need not match.
