COLOUR HARMONY

BEAUTY IN THE HOME RHYTHM OF NEW SEASON.

Many women will be looking at the walls of the rooms in their home this spring and saying to themselves: “I would love these rooms re-papered; but what to choose is the problem.” This is the time of the year that thoughts naturally turn to re-decorat-ing problems. For spring, with summer close at hand, suggests the sun and any drabness that might pass unnoticed during the cold, dreary days of winter is now thrown into clear relief. Hence the desire for new and brighter -wallpapers; a natural enough want for some colour-harmony in the home to express the rhythm of the new and brighter season. A talk with the decorating experts in the wall-paper showroom of C. E. Daniell Ltd., Queen Street, Masterton, will give every woman a new and tasteful outlook on just such colourharmony in the home. One will learn clearly that decorating doesn’t just happen; that the choice of appropriate wall-papers depends upon a host of' factors formerly a mystery but so easily an open book when the basic principles of home decoration are vividly demonstrated and explained. It was in C. E. Daniell’s showroom we heard of the interests of the famous novelist, H. A. Vachell, in the matter of home decoration. Vachell has written; “Why grudge a few extra shillings on the choice of suitable wallpapers? Why indeed! It is almost as important as choosing a wife. You have to live with both!” And how true that is! Tasteful and colourful surroundings have an enormous effect on one's well-being. To the tired and weary, the right atmosphere brings peace; to the invalid it brings quiet joy; to the youthful, it brings unconscious contentment. Wall-paper, being the background to every room, is the most important factor in creating such atmosphere. It meets every need. For every mood it has its own appeal; its own response for every taste. The mission of a wall-paper is to enhance the value and beauty of all objects placed in front of it, thus making the background play a very important part in the harmony of the home. An appropriately tasteful wallpaper means harmony, not only of colour but also of mind. Dreary, walls can depress as surely as dreary weather. The happiness of a country depends so entirely upon its homes that anything which contributes so much to their beauty and well-being as does good wall-paper cannot be treated too seriously or improved and encouraged too much. Talk to the experts in the showroom of C. E. Daniell Ltd., and these thoughts are but few of the points they will raise. They give one a new outlook on home decoration plans. They demonstrate how one can enhance the smartest decorating scheme and bring about a comfortable and enduring loveliness. The wall-papers on display are exclusive without being expensive. C. E. Daniell Ltd. has stocks of papers to meet the growing taste of finer things, but in line with present-day pocket books. In style, in design, in workmanship, in beauty of colouring, these wall-papers set a standard never before achieved in their price range.
