the warmer south or west side of the house cooler colors such as blues and greens can be effective III IIHS oloi combinations come in endless vuiations said Miss Sills but the programs focuses on four main schemes that vary from the use of different tints and shades of one color to the use of three colors with one dominating the other two Ihe sie of the room is as on portant as the light it reccics in dctciiiiining what color is best said Miss Sills ltark colors tend to absorb the light and make the room darker she said In turn illllltl tlltII tlll fl nlll llltt on us making the room smaller while cooler colors make the room appear larger aryiiig shades of light at dil fereiit times of lay should also be considered she said Its best to check the color during the morning and after noon before deciding she said Morning light tends to have warming effect while noon light has reddish effect and evening brings cooler effect Fluorescent lighting can also have an effect on colors in room she said Incandes oent lights can have warming effect while fluorescent lights usually have cooling effect Other areas explored by the ministrys program includes design and furnishings In buying furniture the main considerations should be the intended use of the fur nisliing and its quality she said An example she uses with groups who attend sessions on interior design illustrates the choice between two chairs line is soft wood frame with loose cover light density stuffing and life of five years The price is Stan Ihe second chair has hard wood frame with firm cover hiin density stuffing and an ex pected life of to years at cost of sziii If you want chair to last you would choose the second one because of the savings you would experience in the long ninshesaiii But perhaps after five years youre ready to redccorate and you can afford better chair In that case the first chair would be the better buy If the chair was destined for heavy use the second one would be the better purchase she sadded soft wood frame may crack after continued heavy use and loosely woven nialerial can shift Light density stuffing has usual life span of two years ad ded Miss Sills while high densi ty stuffing can last for seven to In years She also gives advice to peo ple who are considering the purchase of chair You should select chair for comfort depending on the ac tivities you plan to use it for she said There are various profiles of chairs out on the market ad the best way to test them is by sit ting in them pioyxirly wellpioportioiied chair should allow you to rest your feet flat on the floor with seat that tilts slightly back and has clearance from the edge of the chair to the back of your leg flat seat is often better than bucket seat she said because it allows you more freedom of movement Ihc back of the chair should be slanted to support the lum bar rcgion of the back without causing discomfort to the should blades she said And the chair arms should be at proper height to support your arms without raising your shoulders Woman brings life to plants through talk at awards night II Ill tiIIlI1 llariie Horticultural Society Members of taiiie Horticultural Society were
