How to Chose Wall Paper.
Rooms with low rollings look better with a striped puper; straight lines have a tendency to heighten tlo* wulls. A
small room appears larger if tho walls are covered with n small-patterned or perfectly plain paper. Plain paper, preferably in a dull red or terracotta tone shows up pictures or engravings to the greatest advantage. A yellow paper brightens a dark room, or one that has a south aspect, and helps to make it lc*s gloomy and depressing, while a soft green paper relieved by white paint makes a delightfully coed and southing wall covering for a sunnv north room. A lofty room with a perfectly plain or self-coloured paper is improved by a dado in contrasting or harmonising tones placed at the top, beneath the ceiling moulding.
