Balconied Living Room By VIVIAN BROWN AP Newsfeatures Writer A most likely candidate for new room decor is a daughter who has not yet reached the magic teens. You can hear her telling Mom that she "can't possibly live" unless she has a room as nice as that of her new school chum.

There is no greater awareness than the sub-teen's that she "is underprivileged" as she begins visiting her new school friends at their homes. TRENDS that appeal to this younger set include papered ceiling that matches one wall, white furniture and ruffles. They like the small all-over wallpaper designs such as scattered posies, tiny polka dots, small checks or plaids. A pretty color scheme for a young girl's bedroom is Delft blue and white with touches of olive green. All three colors are in a wallpaper that may be used on the wall in back of the bed.

If the Jbudget calls for new furniture, consider white, a top favorite with young girls. The sub-teen girl who enjoys visiting friends will want to invite them to spend the night occasionally.

Many rooms are too small to house two beds, and often other important pieces of furniture must be forfeited for the sake of another bed that is seldom used. Decorators suggest instead that one invest in a roll-away bed that may be easily stored in the closet and used by all members of the family entertaining overnight guests. WHEN replanning daughter's room, sketch it out on paper. See how much room you have for a desk or table, record and book shelves, storage cabinets to house collections of "things" and floor cushions. The under-13 set loves to sit on the floor and listen to music or read.

Large colorful cushions are ideal for this purpose as they may be put out of sight when a little girl is not entertaining. A WASHABLE cotton rug or blend of man-made fibers that resist soil is ideal thrown over a wood, linoleum or vinyl floor. A sizable area rug should be chosen, however. Small rugs are easily tripped over. There should be good illumination in a child's room with the electric switch easily accessible.
