WORKSHEET

PASSAGE FOR NOTE MAKING

1. Good decoration reflects the personality of the people who live in


the home. It should, first of all, be distinctive, just as each person is
distinctive. A home should have unity
not only within each room but also throughout the house. Rooms
should, to some degree, harmonize with each other. The colour and
styling of each room, particularly, should fit into the colour and
styling of the rooms which run out of it.
2. Attractive home furnishings set the stage for pleasant living. If they
are an expression of yourself, you will have a feeling of satisfaction
every time you enter your home, and friends will share your
enjoyment.
3. However, furnishings and surroundings expressive of just the right
note of restfulness, gay informality, or elegant simplicity are not
often assembled by accident. Even enthusiasm alone is not enough.
For most home decorators, it takes poring over plans, trying colour
schemes, finding ingenious ways to make the best of what you have,
and shopping around to search out just the right purchases at prices
you can afford to pay. But there is keen pleasure in striving for the
perfect result, and great satisfaction in achieving it.
4. A successful house and successful rooms will depend upon the
proper relationship of each element in it to the others and to the
whole. Therefore, in selecting each piece it is well to consider the
background, the usage, the draperies, the floor covering, the
upholstering materials, the woods, shapes, colour scheme, and the
“feeling” you prefer for the room.
5. Work and plan to enjoy your house. Limit the expenditures of time,
effort and money to the extent of your abilities, so that just running
the house doesn’t dominate your life. Elegance and delicate things
may be a drain you can afford only in a limited way. If you can’t
afford outside help, select a house and furnishings that require less
care. Plan your activities so that tumult and upset are limited to a
few rooms—an activity room or a bedroom, or a comer of the dining
room.
6. You’ll get more pleasure out of a house if you have a hobby
connected with it—collecting glass or antiques, gardening or indoor
flower growing ceramics, art, cooking, decorating, flower
arrangements, etc. And you’ll get more satisfaction and a great deal
of help from studying household activities.
7. You can select a pleasing combination of colours from a wallpaper,
a fabric, an oriental mg, a flower or scene, or even a picture in a
magazine. If you don’t already have the furniture or mgs, it is a
good idea to make up a colour scheme in this way. Let one colour
predominate. Limit a colour scheme to two or three colours, with
white or grey tones.

(a) Make notes based on the passage given above along with abbreviations
