Orange color in the interior: main aspects
The amount of orange in the interior
The main use of orange in the interior is accentuation. That is, it is less often used for painting walls and furniture, but more often for accessories, textiles, etc. The introduction of orange accents creates the desired effect - it makes the room more cheerful, warmer, more active, etc., but without having to worry about the pressure of the walls and the irritating effect.
Orange is also used to decorate large surfaces, but here you need to be careful not to cross the line between “invigorates and warms” and “irritates and tires.” Play with shades of orange, combine it with others - and you can enjoy all the benefits orange in the interior .
The power of orange relative to other colors
Orange tends to crowd out all colors. That is, when entering a room, a person will pay attention to orange objects - be it walls, furniture, carpet on the floor or accessories. The more orange, the less noticeable the color of objects of a different color. This needs to be taken into account. If you want, for example, to make an accent in the living room with your beige upholstered furniture, do not overuse the room with orange decoration - paint only one or two walls this color, and place the sofa against a wall of a different color (for example, gray).
Orange color in the interior: in what rooms and styles is it appropriate?
The classic design rule is that Orange color good in rooms such as kitchen, dining room, children's room, 
office (home office). Orange is not suitable for rooms where you relax and unwind, for romantic bedrooms, or for rooms that are too bright and hot.
Room styles in which orange is most often used: retro mid-20th century (60s style), minimalism (including Japanese minimalism), ethnic style(oriental, Mexican, etc.), art deco, avant-garde, pop art. Classic, Empire, Rococo do not accept orange, but the use of terracotta shades obtained by mixing orange and brown is quite acceptable.
Orange color in the interior as a design tool for correcting room deficiencies
It is worth using orange color in the interior of rooms whose windows face north. Where it is almost always dark and cool, orange will compensate for the lack of sun and create a joyful mood. By the way, sometimes it’s enough to hang orange translucent curtains on the windows - and a dark, cold room will immediately be transformed.
Since the orange color, as mentioned above, tends to visually bring objects closer, you should not use orange for wall decoration in small rooms. This property of orange can be used to visually correct the volume of narrow and high room. The orange ceiling will visually lower, causing the walls to visually expand.
Shades of orange in the interior
When we talk about orange color in the interior
, we mean, of course, not only pure orange, but also its various shades. Standard orange is not often used for wall decoration - usually preference is given to its more complex shades.
Thus, orange-peach color is popular, associated with freshness. It is also warm and cheerful, but not as active and energetic as orange, so it is great for bedrooms, dining rooms, and bathrooms.
Orange and brown give such complex shades as terracotta, ocher, copper, mahogany. These shades are good for living rooms, bedrooms and offices. They are used to create oriental interiors.
A light tangerine shade would be good in a nursery. Pumpkin, apricot - in the kitchen and dining room. Honey - in almost any room.
In a word, speaking of orange color in the interior, you shouldn’t always mean only orange blossom. Orange, like red, has many shades.

Orange color in the interior: combination with other colors
What to combine orange with in the interior? It can be difficult to choose the right shade to combine with orange, since the color is not very simple. The main thing is to remember one rule: orange has no cold shades. It is very warm, so it doesn’t go well with cool shades. For example, orange can be combined with blue, but only with its warm shade. Well, now let’s look at all the successful and not entirely successful combinations of orange with other colors.
Orange and white.
Great combination. Orange against white creates an association with the sun. White, though a little 
loses in its cold, virgin whiteness, adjacent to orange, but it takes on some of the warmth. At the same time, the brightness of orange is enhanced against the background of white. White and orange are a great combination for a minimalist bathroom, living room and kitchen.
Orange and black. Of course, you can combine orange and black, but this combination turns out to be brutal and aggressive. Against a black background, orange begins to burn, blind, and pulsate. This combination is used for modern futuristic interiors, however, designers still recommend diluting it with the presence of other colors - for example, white, red or gray.
Orange and blue. People who are far from working with color often cannot imagine such a combination. In fact, orange and blue are complementary colors that can become very friendly neighbors and create harmonious combination. One rule is to use warm shades of blue. Delicate blue and orange – what does this remind us of? Of course, the sky is on a clear day. Can such a combination be called unsuccessful if it was intended by nature itself?
The combination of complex shades of blue and orange is also reminiscent of the sea, and is therefore often used to create interiors in tropical, Mediterranean style, as well as in style. The orange here, of course, should not be fiery, but rather soft - peach, apricot, etc. This combination is also used for Asian ethnic interiors. It is not for nothing that the combination of shades of orange and blue is so often found in the textiles of the peoples of Asia.
Textiles in ethnic style: a combination of orange and blue
Orange and purple. It is considered that this is very good combination. Never use it in the interior unless you are a super extravagant person prone to crazy experiments.
Orange and green.
This is also a natural combination, reminiscent of a flowering meadow. And green in combination with orange reminds us of New Year's holidays- joyful and fragrant. When combining orange with green, you need to remember the rule that shades of orange are combined only with warm shades of other colors. So, we select a warm green shade.
This combination is most successful in the kitchen and dining room , as it reminds us of a basket of fruits: peaches, apricots, oranges and soft green apples. Combine these shades: apple green with one of the fruity shades of orange. For example, if you have kitchen furniture with orange facades, make a splashback from pale green tiles. Lay the floor with tiles of the same color. Combine both of these colors in curtains, as well as in chair covers, napkins and decorative items. The walls can be painted some neutral, but be sure to warm color(for example, cream or light beige).
Orange and cream. Cream color is very calm. With his calmness he will balance the energy of orange. For example, against a white background, orange will begin to “burn”, and against the background of cream, beige and similar shades, on the contrary, it will “go dark” slightly. This combination is often used when decorating walls: for example, 1-2 walls of a room are painted orange, and other walls are painted cream.
Orange and grey.
This is also a good combination. Easy gray shade, like cream, extinguishes the brightness of orange, 
slightly neutralizes its activity. Moreover, these colors do not contradict each other, but coexist quite harmoniously. The combination of gray and orange is universal in terms of its impact on the psyche - both energetic and very calm people will feel comfortable in such interiors.
By the way, you can combine orange with cold gray: this combination is used for modern interiors in high-tech style. This alliance is usually used only in kitchens.
Orange and hot pink. No, not the best best combination, difficult for the psyche.
A combination of orange with similar shades. This is an option for fans monochrome interiors. You can take several similar shades of orange - darker and lighter - and combine them with each other. For example, pale apricot walls, honey-toned parquet, an orange sofa and wooden furniture warm golden color. Add here accessories in terracotta and other complex shades of red, brown, yellow, and your interior will turn out warm and unobtrusive, reminiscent of an autumn park.
The combination of wall color and furniture upholstery, as well as carpeting
If you choose orange walls, pay attention to upholstered furniture light green, light blue, beige, light gray and white. In this case, you can choose a carpet or carpet in dark gray, brown, green, blue and even reddish.
If you want to place orange upholstered furniture, paint the walls white, green (if the upholstery is light orange, not bright), light blue, gray.
When choosing shades, focus on the color wheel: combine shades that are in the same inner circle.

It has already become a habit that every September we go somewhere and I spend my birthday away from home. This time there were mountains. With daily hikes, ski lifts and evening tea parties on the balcony. And also with a walk along the longest suspended pedestrian bridge in the world (who follows me in instagram I must definitely roll my eyes at this phrase :) Almost 2 weeks of sweetly intoxicating mountain air turned me into an active tourist, but only with a little side effect- for these 14 days I became an absolutely useless, lazy reader. Rest + books are still incompatible things for me. But nevertheless, September pleased me with good books, and I couldn’t resist one of them, even surrounded by mountains.

All these properties are also transferred to the creation comfortable interior in the house. Orange shades are used in a variety of styles, suitable for rooms of any purpose. The versatility of color does not make a difference between who exactly lives in a given room - a man or a woman, a boy or a girl. Therefore orange is optimal choice For .

In interior design, the most commonly used shades are peach, pumpkin and terracotta, since they are subconsciously perceived better than bright, aggressive tones.
Options for use in home interiors
- Combination with . The essence of this method is to create a specific impression: in order for orange to appear only barely noticeably, it must be drowned in neutral, restrained colors. These are pastel mint and delicate cream tones that do not allow the active color to run wild. It is intended only to enliven a boring interior, while drowning in the overall light color scheme.
For example, if the home owner purchased a bright orange sofa that attracts too much attention, its flashy upholstery can be partially covered with a light-colored throw. This technique will help neutralize the overly poisonous shade, but will still leave its sunny essence visible.
- Cooling the color spectrum. To calm the riot of a bright fiery color, it is enough to remember the restraining influence of blue. The cool palette of shades of the latter is able to neutralize the tangerine madness of the former. It is recommended to use these two colors in equal proportions to balance the impression. You should also pay attention to the harmony of their combination. For example, discreet terracotta will look good with steel (cobalt as an option). A brighter one, carrot or orange, should be combined with cool shades such as turquoise or azure.
- Show the courage of your imagination. This refers to the psychological moment. To decorate the room orange You don’t need a lot of intelligence, but using it correctly will make the interior more soulful. For example, saturated should not be used in small space, it is much more suitable for a spacious room. Otherwise, the bright shade will cause anxiety in a person. An important point is also the selection of a suitable furniture set. It should create a certain contrast with the extraordinary shade of orange. For this, it is recommended to use light colors.
- Create an orange composition. This can be several items, the style of which will stand out orange accent. It is bold to use a deep shade of rust or tangerine, since its texture will invariably distract all attention to itself. The remaining shades of orange will somewhat succumb to its pressure and emphasize the dominant position.
At the same time, it is important to avoid abuse of color. To do this, the space around the composition should be made as neutral as possible, white, sand or dark gray.
- Orange accent on unusual objects. To feel complete, the interior often lacks “fire,” a catchy element. This can be any component of a furniture set - dressing table or orange edges on all items. Much will depend on the owner himself. Only he knows which object should become central. There are no rules or exceptions here; everything is left up to the person himself. Courage and determination must accompany the right choice.
- Decorating small decorative elements with orange. It is the most accurate and careful technique. Allows you to quickly organize bright accent in the interior, which can always be removed later. With orange shades this is even more true, since a person’s mood is not constant and can often change. In addition, one should not discount the various fashion trends in design. An example is the use of bright textiles, be it a blanket in the bedroom or a patterned tablecloth in the kitchen. You can also decorate your kitchen utensils in a funky way. There are actually a lot of options here.
Suitable premises
Most designers agree that the use of bright orange shades is appropriate in the kitchen (where it will encourage a friendly conversation), in the nursery (children simply need a symbol of sun and happiness), in the office (it is very important to think positively), and also in the dining room ( because it stimulates the appetite).
On the contrary, you should not use bright color in rest rooms, because then you won’t be able to completely relax, something will distract you. Also, a tangerine shade can negate all the romance of the bedroom.
The use of fiery orange in sunny rooms is strictly contraindicated. And so the hot space will become red hot. This effect must be avoided and neutralized with other shades.
As for stylistics, the most popular here are retro (this style includes the 60s), Mexican style, and country. Orange is also used in more modern, minimalist oriental designs. But such classic styles like an empire style or they try to avoid it, only occasionally combining it with brown.
In the interior of the living room
Its use in the living room is caused primarily by the factor of friendliness, sociability of color. However, you should use pastel shades that do not strain your eyes. The use of orange can make the living room exit to the north side relevant.
Then you just need to use orange inserts to warm it up in this way. These could be orange curtains in combination with bright sofa the same shade. Or textile accessories on light-colored objects.
There is no point in painting the entire space of the room solid orange. For overall harmony in the perception of orange inserts, it is recommended to use a combination with colors such as blue, gray, and snow-white.
Some designers, on the contrary, recommend showing courage in the living room and giving free rein to your imagination. For example, paint the ceiling orange. This guarantees warmth and great mood to all guests. Just remember that peach shades or the same ocher should be preferred to pure orange.
In the interior of the kitchen
Since scientists have long confirmed the beneficial effects of color on the gastrointestinal tract, its use in the kitchen is perhaps the best move.
Warm peach tones will significantly increase your appetite. This can be not only wallpaper or tiles on the walls, but also napkins, kitchen accessories, dishes in a characteristic orange color. If we're talking about about furniture, it is good to combine it with the gloss of the facades.
The main condition for this will be the cleanliness of the selected surface, since dirty orange tiles will negate the entire comfortable effect.
In the bathroom interior
To relax in a warm room, it is enough to use colorful pieces of furniture and a variety of cabinets.
Matching black and gray colors and orange Their reflection in the mirror will make the person’s face appear somewhat fresher and younger. The skin color will acquire a beautiful natural shade.
Cold or warm yellow determine the composition of a given tone: if there is at least a small admixture of blue (green) in it, it is considered cold, if there is an admixture of red (orange, brown) - the color is considered warm. Sometimes in a complex shade of this tone there are both echoes of blue and red, then it is weighed: which undertone is greater.
Yellow is considered a warm shade relative to other tones in the spectrum. The wavelength of this spectrum is the third largest (see color physics). Next color in the spectrum – green, which is borderline in temperature gradation. Orange, which ranks above it, is considered the warmest shade of the spectral palette. As the lightest tone, it is highly sensitive to impurities, so adding even small quantity red (yellow+red=orange), blue (blue+yellow=green) makes it much darker, so even a small admixture creates a change noticeable to the eye. And if we are sensitive to halftones, then we can classify them by temperature.
If we take spectral yellow conventionally as a neutral tone (for consideration within the framework of this color), then its light shades will be closer to cold, similar to white (winter). An admixture of black, gray, or blue will give off green and transfer the color in the same direction as white.
Cold and warm yellow have a wide range of shades.
Cool yellow and its shades
Cool yellow is almost the entire pastel range, with the exception of light orange-yellow tones.
Cold tone has a restrained coloring: less intense than spectral, due to which it is widely used in clothing and interior design.
They can be roughly divided into the following groups:
- creamy yellow - pastel range from white-lemon, white-lime-yellow, to white-sand-yellow.
- yellow-green: cold color, in which one way or another there are green notes: due to blue or black.
- beige-yellow, where the blue undertone outweighs the red.
- golden: instead of blue, they contain black (maybe together with blue) and, in a smaller amount, red.

Warm shades of yellow are brighter than cold colors. Saturated, full of energy and solar power, they evoke joy, a feeling of summer or spring. There are as many such colors as cold ones; they are designed to decorate this world and give us a positive mood.
These include:
- salty tones - shades of yellow with very little red content. These are bright yellow and moderately bright, but rich and flashy.
- yellow-orange - where the presence of a red undertone turns into the perception of orange. These are sweet and spicy shades. They are more restrained than sunny ones: they can be very light, rich or even dark.
— yellow-brown are yellow-orange tones with a drop of blue, which makes the color darker, more restrained, but remains in this temperature category.

Warm yellow color combination
Sweet, juicy, sunny combinations with warm yellow are mostly built on contrast: warm-cold, bright and restrained. Yellow-green tones, brown, red, orange, purple support the riot of truly lemon colors. Blue, cyan, white, gray, black to varying degrees enter into thermal contrast, enhancing the luminous qualities of the main color.
Cold will be different in combination:
Cool yellow color goes well
The cold shades of dawn-yellow winter mornings do not like to argue with the yellow-orange palette, although sometimes you can see such a combination. And yet, next to cool colors such as gray, blue and even green, they look warmer. Subtle contrast is the main concern of this spectrum. This range is not irritating; it is moderately rich and inspires a feeling of roundness and harmony.
