Interior Decorator Says Choose Colors For Home And Then Stick by Them New York IU.R) Just because you paint the living room walls green every other spring is no sign you're in a home decorat ing rut. Ellen Lehman McCluskcy, a socialite interior decorator, says it's foolish to follow fashions in home decorating colors. "A woman should decorate her home in colors she likes and that are becoming to her, and then -stick by her colors," Mrs. McCluskcy said. She does sonic very fancy dec orating jobs for socialites and also decorates simple apartments for young married couples. In either case, she isn't so interested in achieving a striking color ef fect as she is in planning a be coming setting for the family. Right now Mrs. McCluskcy is putting her theories into prac tice in the Park avenue apart ment where she lives with her husband and two children. Ten years ago she decorated her bed room in ice pink, mauvre and purple. The bedroom in the new apartment i-s being done in ex actly the same shades. "I'm even getting more of the same pink brocade I originally used to cover the twin beds," she said. "I like delicate shades and I think they're becoming to me, so why change?" The walls of he. bedroom and the carpet arc of identical shades of pink. The drapes are pink with a pink and purple fringe. A couple of tiny chairs covered in purple are the only touches of contrasting color. Mrs. McCluskcy also ignores the decorating theory that a room should hove both plain fab rics and stripes or prints to give it interest. She often does a room all in solid colors, using different textures and different shades of one color to achcivc her variety. One Color Effective "If you have only a little money to spend you can get more effect witii chintz and wallpaper man with plain colors," she admitted. "But if you can afford really good fabrics and furniture, it is very effective to use a simple, one-color plan for a room. 15 utilities 42.53 up 0.03; 65 stocks 73.70 up 0.37.
