How To: Orange Decor
Orange as a color strategy isn't always the first thing that comes to mind. Let's face it, the color can often come off as a LITTLE MUCH. But you know what? We're gonna go ahead and say that you should give it a chance. Depending on how you do it, orange can bring a great sense of energy or warmth to any design.So, let's take a look at a few of the many ways to bring this lively hue into your space.
One of the simplest ways to use orange is to let it stand out on its own. An accent piece in an otherwise light and neutral space says, "THAT'S RIGHT, I'M ORANGE. DEAL WITH IT."
On the other hand, accent pieces don't have to exist in stark environments. This lovely red-orange sofa melds with the pinks, creams, and blues of a wonderfully patterned rug.
Ok, moving on to the bedroom. Here's a light-hearted take on orange as a color concept. Graphic bedding with fun pops of color adds a little funk to this ethereal bedroom.
However, when paired with distressed woods and traditional furnishings, orange becomes earthy and rustic. This bedroom achieves balance by repeating the color in an accent rug and wooden lamp shade.
On the wall, don't be afraid to kick things up a bit. Here, a bold red-orange is an interesting backdrop to pinks and blues.
If you prefer a calmer mood, taking orange in a light and airy direction will give your space an uplifted feel.Whether you're wanting a strong statement or you prefer to keep things understated, orange is up to the task. This surprisingly versatile hue can be infused in so many ways. Looking to punch up your space? Send us a note! Let's see what color theory works best for you.
