Orange painted wall

The colors represented in the photos may or may not actually be painted the color they are representing. However, it really doesn’t matter because how many times have you seen a color in a magazine that looks nothing like what they say it is? Therefore, I chose images with great design that look close to the color I am talking about. In addition, some of these images are very recent and some were done years if not decades ago. Orange as we saw in the last post is timeless and forever.

Therefore, what I always say is this. If you love a color that you see in a photo, it matters not what it is in real life.

We discussed this in a recent post.

In addition some of these images depicting the best shades of orange paint and furnishings are from clippings I’ve been saving for years. I love that. Because if something I saved 25 years ago still looks current, then to me, that is the very definition of timeless.

Let’s start with pale and work up from there.

FARROW & BALL 68 DORSET CREAM

This is a warm, wonderful, pale, pale warm, tawny peach. Farrow & Ball’s colors are always wonderful as they are made from complex formulas adding to their richness.

BENJAMIN MOORE SOFT MARIGOLD 160

On the cool, cool lambrequins. (valances)

The next two images are by one of my design idols, Stephen Shubel whose work I’ve admired since the 1980s. His blend of antiques with casual elements and soft, blushy colors has distinguished him his entire career.

Stephen Shubel

This is a room from the early 90s. I remember because I cut it out. And then, I used that chandelier for a couple of jobs. It’s really cool!

In fact, you can see it here, in a dining room I did in 2003.

BM SEMOLINA 2155-40

Semolina is veering on yellow and a very cool, well warm, modern color. Totally fabulous for a “night room.”

William Hodgins – Zuber screen dining room

The color? Who knows, but it looks like this.

FARROW AND BALL ORANGERY

Interestingly, Farrow and Ball has archived this color. However, you can still get it.

The next three images are also in orangery.

This is one of my favorite shades of orange paint

Orangery is the color on all of the above.

This is not a pure orange but more orange than gold. It is warm and a wonderful choice for someone not ready to go with a more saturated orange.

Oh, if only we could truly test out a color and if we don’t like it, just flip a switch and it goes back to what it was.

BENJAMIN MOORE 166 ORANGE ICE

Orange Ice is a color similar to orangery– just a touch lighter and brighter– but ice is a misnomer. The picture is attributed to Donald Kaufman who also has a brilliant line of paint, but it’s harder to get and I’m not as familiar with it. However, I do own two of his books.

Steven Gambrel

BENJAMIN MOORE 168 AMBER

This is a dusty warm, terra cotta.

BENJAMIN MOORE 034 SPICED PUMPKIN

Spiced pumpkin is a color I’ve used a few times and goes up looking a bit brighter than it does on the chip. It is more rust than terra cotta and a very lovely warm, rich color.

Amazing room by Studio Peregalli

I could not find a website for Studio Peregalli. They are an Italian duo from Milan, Roberto Peregalli and Laura Sartori Rimini. Their work is known internationally. I would classify it as old-world timeless. This article is a short interview with them about their process.

Sorry, at this time, I could not find out any further information about this room. However, if you know, please let me know.

BM BRONZE TONE 2166-30

design by James T. Farmer.

SW DETERMINED ORANGE 6635

Love that name. As you can see, determined is an orange with a lot of red in it, but still orange. I guess that’s more coral.

It’s funny that he describes this dining room as eccentric. The ONLY thing I find eccentric are the drapery rods. They are not parallel to the window as one end is attached to the fireplace wall.

Otherwise, the room is sublime! I’m just wondering if it was intentionally done that way or it’s a mistake they thought no one would notice.

SHERWIN WILLIAMS 6647 EXCITING ORANGE

Exciting orange has a lot of life without being too in your face. I think it’s quite versatile

Henri Samuel

SW KUMQUAT 6648

Kumquat is a shade deeper than Exciting and also wonderful.

I’m going to let you in a little secret right now. I struggled the most with the SW colors. Why? Because they are all so unbelievably gorgeous! Really, I don’t think you can go wrong, but I still want to break it down for you.

“Orange sky, orange sea, orange greenery, orange camel…”

, inspiring optimism, helping to reveal strength. Of course, the role of colors in the design of the room is significant.

Features of the shade

The dominant color is able to influence the parameters, visually changing the size, volumes of limited space, therefore, this affects the mood of the owner of the home. You can get the desired effect by skillfully creating a harmony of shades. In the process of competent manipulation of the color palette, there is that necessary comfortable environment, where it is pleasant to be, to live comfortably.

The latest design proposals positively adapt orange tones in the interior of the living space. It is difficult for a person to solve such a problem on his own, to combine the characteristics of an aggressive color with human psychology.

Specialists come to the rescue, and aggressiveness disappears, and the result is a color that calls to action, creation, inspires optimism, helping to reveal creative abilities

Main aspects, pluses and minuses

The main aspect of the orange color is accentuation, that is, the use as accessories rather than in the form of furniture, especially the color of the ceiling and walls. Skillfully applied with a separate accent, you can enliven the room, make it warmer.

Bright saturated orange and red colors miraculously combined in this interior. The dull room immediately changed, acquired a special flavor. The bold idea of ​​the designers has done its job.

The interior of the children's room in the attic is filled with a delicate orange color. It looks especially advantageous in combination with white.

But rooms for rest and relaxation, bedrooms are better not to be decorated in orange. It should not be used in bright rooms.

Uses of orange in the interior of the house

A person perceives the world around him through his senses, visual impressions. The history of human survival confirms the fact that the ability to perceive the subtlest shades drives the process of development. The reaction to colors arises subconsciously: peace comes from the surrounding soft colors, anxiety is generated by bright inflorescences. For a comfortable state, you need to know the principles of the impact of color combinations on our psyche. The home environment is not the best place to introduce fashion trends. The assertive orange color can get along with the environment, if you approach the design in a balanced way, with care for the household.

Orange finish

Orange walls, ceiling and floor are unlikely to keep their owners in a good mood for a long time . You can cheer up in such a room, but permanent residence will soon tire you. . The associative relationship with strength, speed, youth confirms the image of a color that claims to be exclusive. For some, this helps to cope with negative dominance in life, gives strength to cleanse from filth and leads away from despondency. This color can be perceived as symbols of future changes, expansion of new horizons.

When expressing your individuality, it is important to maintain a balance, to be able to combine original elements with a balanced approach to solving design problems.

Orange walls go well with the whiteness of accessories, furniture, and small inclusions of an additional, for example, green color enliven, attract, fill the room with comfort.

To the extent of orangeness and complementing the interior with other shades will help in such a living room to feel a healthy desire to live, to do good.

Orange furniture and sofa

The design of modern apartments allows orange furniture to coexist with any shades of walls and ceilings. The beloved orange-colored sofa is always well received in any living space. It does not cool, but rather causes a feeling of warmth, security. The space around him is filled with comfort.

The theme of orange tonality in the design of a children's room is very relevant. A positive atmosphere is so necessary for children, boys and girls. Parents do the right thing when they prefer these tones in the design. Psychologically, orange color tones, stimulates the brain activity of children, pleases. Recommended for sedentary, uncommunicative kids, teenagers. However, it is necessary to maintain a sense of proportion, it is impossible to overdo it in this regard.

The purpose of the bathroom is to cleanse and rejuvenate. Juicy orange will only contribute to these noble goals, especially after a busy day at work.

The orange carpet fits perfectly into the design of the kitchen, children's room, bathroom. In the classical style, red carpets are not widely used.

Paintings in orange

The world around us is filled with unique, unimaginable combinations of colors and shades. And all this diversity is perceived by our senses harmoniously. People are trying to bring this harmony into everyday life by creating sets of clothes, emphasizing the interior. A person tries to express his inner world through visual means, through artistic paintings.

Calm warm orange tone is a peculiar product of optical mixing of deep red and piercing yellow colors.

Character, temperament distinguishes people of different nationalities. They are largely shaped by the environment. If for the Spaniards red-yellow-black tones are inherent, then for the northern people of the Finns - white and blue. Closer to the equator, color combinations become brighter and thicker.

Using different shades and orange

Orange colors are rarely used in the design of an apartment, and nothing lifts the mood and invigorates like tangerine shades.

There is a range of warm shades. Orange, combined with white, blue, brown, burgundy and other colors, gives many shades: carrot and tangerine, pumpkin and rusty copper, dark amber and honey, delicate salmon tone. The great possibilities of orange to combine with other colors provide it with use in different styles. For rooms facing north, painting the walls orange is the best option.

Orange has the ability to visually enlarge objects. This means that the ceiling painted in such a tone will seem to hang over the space of the room, the walls of this color visually reduce the area of ​​​​the room. For a southern location, the most suitable are blotches of orange in the form of accessories.

Combination with grey, blue and white

Orange with different tones can be invented by mixing red with yellow. In the spectrum, it is warm, because it has absorbed the properties and energy of red, but it also has the cheerfulness of yellow. It carries ideas of comfort, warmth of the hearth and is associated with the warm rays of the sun.

In nature, light orange shades are often found - plants have this color, fruits. Artificially, such an inflorescence is formed by mixing with white or pink paints. The resulting shades of calm color are harmonious, natural.

Additional tones to orange either slightly muffle or intensify, creating a new combination.

Any tone benefits from combination with orange, becomes more expressive. Therefore, the combination of tones in the interior is interesting in terms of how the result is obtained. Bright shades with saturated look harmonious, and light - with pastels.

This color goes well with white and grey. Light tones slightly soothe and muffle intense orange, while blue in its own way adds aggression and deepens the tone.

Color in the interior of the living room

The living room is a territory of kindness, friendship, where the energy of the apartment pulsates. Here the family spends evenings, close people share their plans and hopes. Therefore, the owners are trying to give this corner a feature, functionality, creativity.

When designing a living room, you need to decide what role, dominant or complementary, in the color scheme of colors will be played by tangerine color. Curtains or other decorative elements can significantly change the design, respectively, the overall mood.

The presence of apricot, peach shades creates the effect of a neutral living room.

Of course, with all the options, design tricks, the size of the apartment is decisive. If the area allows, then you can create any style. A successful design project will suit everything.

Decor in the bedroom

Who doesn't want to make their nest for relaxation, rest cozy, beautiful, comfortable.

North facing bedroom needs orange highlights. Bright shades will make up for the lack of solar heat and light.

Each family decides for themselves whether they have an orange bedroom. It is worth beating cream and apricot, peach and creamy tones. Try to add gold and floral accents, and a designer masterpiece can turn out.

How to decorate the kitchen

The kitchen is the family's favorite place. I want her to be attractive.

In order not to overdo it with bright colors, it is worth using orange in the decor pointwise: put orange-colored chairs, bring in the same lockers. But you don’t need to get carried away, be more careful with the design of the walls.

When choosing a kitchen design, you should remember some rules:

• if the cabinets are orange, then the ceilings, walls and floors should be restrained;

• orange combined with purple, sawtooth, blue, blue, black;

• the best combination of a bright kitchen with a light ceiling;

• pay attention to the worktop and backsplash;

• curtains in light and soothing colours.

Kitchen in warm colors - good aura in it.

There are many design options. The decision has to be made independently. To make it easier to navigate, it is worth remembering:

• orange visually enlarges objects, but reduces the area;

• affects the color of nearby object surfaces;

• large surfaces are better combined by shade than painted;

• it is not necessary to select walls and furniture in one tone;

• suitable for avant-garde style, modern, inappropriate in the classics.

We must not forget, carried away by experiments, to track the number of saturated elements, so as not to exhaust ourselves emotionally, not to cause irritation. Let curtains and furniture, wall decoration evoke associations with the flame of the hearth, which soothes in a homely way.

Add orange to your interior and make it bright and bold or cozy and warm!

Orange in interiors promotes overall health and can be both calming and stimulating, making it ideal for setting the mood. With the help of orange and its various shades, you can make your home bright and energetic or, on the contrary, cozy and calm.

Orange is a beautiful and modern color that can transform the interior of your boring and inconspicuous apartment beyond recognition. Here are 15 inspirational ideas for using the color of orange and its shades in your home.

Add a pattern or ornament

This elegant and playful orange and cream hue will help you elevate a space with a pattern on upholstery or furniture covers. This slightly autumnal mood of the armchairs will not be boring, but on the contrary, will bring a little light into your neutral living room.

"Merry" sadness

Another trick to bring a sunny mood into the interior, but with dining chairs. These "pieces" of light can be easily moved around the house and thus "scatter" the mood and bright colors everywhere. The orange color of the chairs perfectly complements the olive color of the walls.

Cover the walls with bright "geometry"

In a minimalist bathroom, walls covered with wallpaper with a geometric pattern will look great. But the main thing here is not the pattern, but the color - orange with a rich brown tint. It uplifts the mood and the desire to stay in such a bathroom longer.

Raise the color to the ceiling

A library painted up to the ceiling in bright and saturated orange will elevate not only the room, but also the mood. It looks chic and stylish, especially if you can see the ocean through the window ...

Match the colors

This decadent orange looks great in the bathroom, living room or bedroom when paired with creamy walls or furniture.

Incorporate orange into rich textured accents

Light Peach Orange - is a great way to add color to an interior without overwhelming it. With burnt orange walls and rich décor, a vintage 16th century feel has been achieved in this living room. And velvet chairs in the color of the walls, antique mirrors and portraits created a glamorous mood.

"Warm up" a wooden space

Wood warms. And if you add to it also a sultry terracotta color with a red tint, then this will create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort in the interior in the ultra-modern space of the house.

A little "crazy" can't hurt

In order to activate the space and make it bright and memorable, you should try adding a fiery shade of orange to the interior. It perfectly accentuates the space and pairs perfectly with neutral and cooler tones. Proof of? They are in front of you in the form of walls and a sofa with the same pattern ...

Be inspired by the glow of the fire in the fireplace

The glow of the fire in this cozy living space is complemented by warm orange furniture with subtle dark undertones and deep yellow walls, while the natural light of the fire from the fireplace gently brightens the room and creates an atmosphere of tranquility and antique elegance.

Soften the texture of the walls

The almost carrot-colored wallpaper and pattern at the head of the beds match the fine texture of the textiles and window openings in this children's room. Creamy color pleasantly sets off a bright and rich fruity orange.

Bedroom

Premium bedding in a bright shade of orange encourages uplifting and good morning mood. Orange is known to promote happiness and energy, so why not wake up with it every morning?

All shades of orange side by side

Intense orange color in the interior brightens the space, while its darker tones make any room practical. By scattering the bright, we can bring calm colors together. Sofa, ottoman, pillow - isn't it cute and cozy?

Add an accent to one wall

Beautiful, soft and warm orange - is just what you need for a little splash of color in your bathroom interior.
