Tired of winter? Dreaming of "charging" your living room with the energy of the sun? How about orange? We talked to an interior designer and learned all the intricacies of working with this complex color

The color of sun, oranges and sand.Once called the "new pink", now it is simply good as an accent and in our opinion will look great in the living room. In order not to be unfounded, we found 15 examples of successful use of this shade in the interior and even asked interior designer Varvara Zelenetskaya to tell us how best to decorate the living room with orange.

Blue sky and orange sun - a completely natural composition. Note that the owners even selected cups to match the interior.

A neutral background is a great opportunity to play with accents.

It is better to frame a large shape with a calmer version of the orange shade.

Intense, therefore contrasting and very effective. If this is your goal, get inspired.

A great way to get used to a color is to try it out on your window treatments.

Everything here is very simple, minimalistic (in the palette) and at the same time quite intricate.

Orange goes well with gold.

By the way, it’s a very good idea to sew several pillowcases from the same fabric as the curtains.

With its calm surroundings and powdery orange hue, this interior is energizing but not at all irritating.

Exceptionally clean and fresh interior.

There is a lot of orange here, but thanks to the different shades and presentation, the interior looks very organic.

In this living room, orange balances out the abundance of blue.

Bronze can also be considered an orange accent, especially when paired with gladioli.

Despite the obvious abundance of color, this living room makes a complete impression - and all thanks to the compliance with the declared Moroccan style.

— Orange is a more than complex color at firstfirst of all, because there is a huge number of its most varied shades. It can be orange, ocher, honey, brick. When choosing orange, first of all you need to understand what style you are going to go with this color. So let's start with the main thing.

  • We define the style.If the living room is designed in the pop art style and we want to effectively “shout out”, then we can safely opt for a bright, rich orange. If the design is rather calm, and we just want to add a feeling of warmth, then in this case a complex mix of orange with the right dirty ochre shades will do.
  • We restrict the functional. Orange even in its most tranquil hypostasis is still intrusive and too energetic. Therefore, choosing it for the living room, it is worthwhile to understand that in this room it will be impossible to sleep. I would not recommend viewing the shade of orange, even for a dotted design studio apartment.
  • Choose a pair. If we look at the color circle, then, as pairs of shades facing the orange, we find purple and lilac. Shades, frankly, are not topical. Therefore, I recommend mixing orange with gray-blue shades.
  • We leave in a shallow form. Orange as the color of fire, a home is quite appropriate in the living room, but "set fire" the entire interior is not worth it. Our goal is to create an energetic atmosphere for the presence of the place where they often and for a long time communicate. You can achieve this by highlighting, for example, an orange ornament on cushions, lenses on a chandelier, small details in the design of accessories.
  • Revision of the environment.Orange is a stimulant, even an igniter, if you will. It is not suitable for people whose lives, like mine, have a lot of color as such. If you are engaged in design, printing or any other bright creativity, orange in the interior will most likely very soon begin to irritate you and even suppress you. But for those of us who are forced to spend most of the day surrounded by white office walls, orange can become a best friend and give completely new sensations in long-familiar realities.
