Draperies
Draperies which a become a part of the background
contribute to the appearance in the following in the following
ways.
– Blend various colours use on the walls, floor and furniture
– Soften or accentuate the lines of the room.
– Can be used to offset architectural problems.
Carpet
When selecting a carpet the following points
need to be kept in mind.
The colours of the carpet should match
the walls and the table in the room.
 A carpet with a lot of design is not
suitable for a hospital room. The carpet
should be simple with very little or no
design.

Maintaining a carpet
When the carpet is new small bits of thread will
fall form it when brushing or cleaning. Hence the
cleaning should be done carefully and gently.
 If any thread is protruding, it should be carefully
cut with scissors, and not pulled out by hand.
 The furniture on the carpet should be lifted
when moved, and not Dragged. Dragging will
spoil in the carpet.

Picture / Photos
Picture and photos can be us4ed to add
colour in to a room. The colors in a
picture can be used to complement
another colour. The size of the picture
depends on the walls space available and
general décor of the room.
 Enhance the walls
 Can be used as fillers or shelves

Colour Combination
Monochromatic colour harmony
Complimentary colours schemes
 Analogous colour harmony
 Lighting
 Decorative pieces
 These are use to enhance the look of shelves corners,
and table tops
 They must have a theme eg. One should not mix
terracotta items with marble status, or cut glass
 They should not clutter a shelf or the room. They should
be well spaced out, and blend in with the rest of the
room.

Flower Arrangement





The arrangement may be circular, Semi circular, Triangular
The vash should be positioned in a prominent place.
The table cloth should be selected to blend well with the colour of
the flowers
The flowers should be 1.5’ above the neck of the vase.
Adding a pinch of salt or sugar to the water keep the flower fresh.
A Wooden stick helps climbers ( Money plant) to grow in the
direction we want.
Before placing the flowers in the vase cut the stem in a slant and
immediately put it in water. This help the plant take in water and
remain fresh . Never break stem or blend it.
Wash the flowers and check for worms and insects before
arranging them.
Do not keep the flower vase directly under the fan or directly in the
sunlight. The flowers wither or die.
