A bedroom communicating with the boudoir should be uniform but not precisely identical. It seems preferable to keep the window-treatment uniform, so the linen may be employed for the bedspread and one large easy chair, and the taffeta for smaller chairs and under the plate-glass top of the dressing-table.
Another most attractive material for use in both rooms would be the French glazed chintz illustrated in Plate 56. This is rather more striking, but is nevertheless of delightful design and individual colouring. The background is of bright rose pink while the figures and some details are yellow with touches of light blue, red-brown, and white. This would go admirably with the walls. In order to avoid too much of a good thing ecru could be used for the hangings.
