WANT TO ADD extra elegance
and excitementtothat room you’re
remodelling?

Do what some smart interior
decorators do: use real wood
panelling. it’s never out of style.

Regardless of the look you seek
— contemporary, traditional, old
world or anything in between —
there’s a wealth of panelling styles,
textures and wood tones from
which te select, to suit any room
setting or wall treatment.

MANY FACTORS

‘Carefully consider room propor-
tions, ceiling height, light sources
and the intended use of the room

‘ when selecting panelling. Think
about the mood you want to create
in a particular room.

Also take into consideration the
furniture and decorating ac-
cessories that will go into the

‘oom, All these factors will in-- 2m

fluence the room’s appearance
once it’s panelled. ;

Wood panelling can be used ina
variety of ways to create ie at-
mosphere and ambience ‘ou
desire. But you'll derive the
greatest decorative benefits froia
wood panelling if you follow these
basic rules:

© Dark colored wood panels are
best for larger more formal rooms
— living roums, dining rooms and
spacious dens and studies. Other

rooms with high ceilings and gocd -

light sources also are ideal for rich,
warm-toned panelling.

© Avoid the trap of using dark
woods to achieve a feeling of in-
timacy in smal! rooms. Instead of
creating a feeling of intimacy, you
may create one of being boxed in.

¢ Light-toned wood panelling is
more suitable for fess formal set-
tings — children’s rooms,
playrooms, reading alcoves, kitch-
ens and small dining nooks.

°To create a feeling of
spaciousness in small to medium-
sized rooms, choose lighter-toned
panelling, keeping ceilings white or
bright.

© Be creative. Take advantage of
the variety of panelling styles, tex-
tures and wood tones to give each
room a personality all its own.

*Avoid covering two rooms with
the same panelling, particularly if
they are close to each other. But
keep in mind that the panelling
you choose should harmonize with
the decor in other rooms in the
house.

Your imagination and a little
planning are all it takes to turn any
room into a showplace. It’s easy,
and something you can do
* yourself.
