Yellow and orange colors in the interior: ideas for decor
2018 will be held under the sign of the Earthy Yellow Dog, therefore, in order to appease the symbol of the year, you need to prepare in advance and add some bright juicy colors to your interior.
Although yellow and orange are sunny, energetic colors that can cheer you up, they should be used with care in the interior. Especially orange color, which has a wide palette of shades: from bright terracotta to delicate apricot. It is believed that these shades should be used rather as an accent. How to correctly introduce these rich tones into the interior – in the collection Woman’s Day.
Yellow and orange are very energetic colors in themselves, so they should be introduced with extreme caution. There is even an opinion among designers that these shades, especially orange, will harmoniously fit into the kitchen, dining room, nursery, office. But, for example, for a bedroom, living room, sunny or small rooms, it is better not to use such colors.
However, in the cool rooms that face north, all kinds of shades of orange will bring a touch of cheerfulness and warmth. And they will perfectly dilute the interior.
Also in combination, for example, with brown or terracotta, orange-yellow shades will help create an oriental design, especially if you add mahogany furniture to them. But in the children’s room it is best to use a warm tangerine shade, in the kitchen and dining room – apricot, and the honey color is suitable for almost any room.
For a spacious living room, it is better to combine colors, choosing pastel colors as the main one and using yellow and orange only to highlight accents.
It is worth remembering that yellow and orange shades are very warm on their own, so it is difficult to combine them with cold tones. But they look harmoniously with white, beige and gray.
For the kitchen dining room, you can use warm pumpkin or apricot shades. You can also choose an orange-peach color for wall decoration, which, according to the designers, gives a feeling of freshness and cheerfulness. In addition, such shades cheer up and improve digestion, which means that they can be safely used in the kitchen.
If you have not yet decided on bold experiments, then the walls in the kitchen-dining room can be left in light pastel shades and energetic bright colors can be introduced in the form of kitchen furniture, flooring or accessories.
It must be remembered that the combination of orange and yellow with such complex colors as brown, terracotta, marsala, mahogany, will give a touch of oriental style to any room.
If making an Arab palace out of an apartment is not included in your plans, then you should competently combine yellow and orange with white and beige colors to create an atmosphere of cheerfulness and enhance creative activity.
But to make the bathroom completely orange – please. This color will help restore vitality and invigorate.
In the children’s room, it is better to use warm mnadarin or yellow shades and opt for bright furniture or wall applications that will help create coziness and bring joy to the child.
If the desire to add bright elements to the interior does not leave you, then you can start with decorative elements. Dilute the boring design with accessories, textiles and other yellow and orange items, and you will see that the room has become warmer and more active.
And remember that bright shades tend to crowd out other colors, so how much orange is in your apartment will determine whether objects of other tones are noticeable.
In any case, if your dream is to color the space and add energy, yellow and orange colors are perfect for this.
