Q1. Read the following passage carefully.
(BM)
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. Umit 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 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 gray tones.
These points will help you:
1. Always choose colours that please you personally-subtle, calm colours
if you prefer a restful atmosphere, Intense colours if you like liveliness and
cheer.
2. Don't be afraid of colour. Experimenting on paper will give you
confidence. (But remember larger batches of colour are more intense.) Try
out various colour combinations, then live with them-look at them
frequently before you actually start buying.
3. Colours should harmonize with furniture, draperies, and carpets.
A Make notes on the passage in any suitable format. Use abbreviations,
wherever necessary. Give a suitable title.
