even go a step further and design
rooms the size they should really
be, then we must do the next best
thing -use decorutive effects either
to make
large rooms
appear
smaller or small rooms seem
larger.
Just In case you've a desire to
wag your head and say that’s Im ­
possible, then consult decorators
who are faced with these problems
every day. It ’s true that you don’t
magically create space or lose It,
but the effect can be changed.

you need not tee) outsized in a room
that is actually small, but made to
appear spacious. Or, If the room Is
large, you need not feel lost in It, If
it is at all properly furnished and

j give, or the effect will be lost.
You must take into consideration
