Orange adds light and warmth into your house.
It is one of my favourite colours, so I try to bring it in my own as well as in my clients interiors.
You can easily combine orange with a lot of other colours : with black, white, brown, purple, green.
You can even use it in summer as in winterseason. It can be used in a classic, a modern or a contemporary interior.
An accent of orange can do enough to give your interior a warmer feeling!

Beautiful to me! The inside of the cabinet is painted in a shade of orange.And notice the colours of the rug.

Even Axel Vervoordt seems to like the glow of orange in his venetian appartment.

ReplyDeleteJulie,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for reading all my posts!
Yes I also like that image! It give such a good feeling if you can work with that orange colour around!
Hugs,
Greet
I too use orange in my home. I love your house, it is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletewow, you just made my day! I have often wondered if anyone else goes back to past post. I think my old ones are better, before I got so lazy... I would love to introduce you my friend...let me know. Thanks again.
ReplyDeletePrachtige styling en foto's. En ik ben het uiteraard geheel met je eens: warmte- volume - feest: immers ben ik Nederlandse "Van Oranje"...
ReplyDeleteFijn weekend

I am so glad you featured the orange glow of a fireplace! That's what an orange interior colour reminds me of. In fact, I just purchased a perfectly wonderful orange throw a couple of days ago!!
ReplyDeleteGreet, When I first hear orange in decor, all I can think of is when I used it back in the 70's. Somebody gave me an orange rug, tablecloth and curtains. I can't recall who. LOL! I liked it at the time because it was bright and cheery during some very dark years of my life. But I used them for ten years and I was sick of them by the time I threw them out. But, you prove your point very well. It is gorgeous in your home and very attractive used sparingly in the other homes. I loved your post and the peek into your own wonderful home. Hugs, Cindy
ReplyDeleteGreet,

Hello Greet,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post. Beautiful pictures and it is a great accent color. The pictures of your home were lovely as well.
If you get a chance, stop by my Blog for a visit and say hi! I JUST put up a New Post...
Have a great day,
Aimee
I just had a look around my home and I could not find anything that was orange. But after seeing your photos, I will be sure to change that.
ReplyDeleteDog cookies on your coffee table... you are my kind of gal. Thanks for coming by, loved hearing from you.
ReplyDeleteNice!!! Can't say that orange is my favorite coulor, but this was very butiful...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pictures, must take a trip til Nederland!!!!!
I'm sorry to say that it's seem like the summer is over and it's time to say goodbye to allof my patio furnisher for now....I love spring and summer, but I don't like the winter....
I'm totally in love with orange accents. I have them in my own house, too. They brighten up interiors in summer and warm them up in winter. My favorite combination is orange with dark chocolate brown and/or white.
ReplyDeleteYour entry hall is beautiful!
Dag Greet,
ReplyDeletevoor de wintermaanden hebben we soms puur linnen lakens in een gewassen oranje kleur op ons bed liggen. Die kleur zij me eigenlijk helemaal niets, maar toen ik dat linnengoed zag, was ik verkocht! In combinatie met oranje fluwelen ´Sanela´-kussens van Ikea staat het prachtig warm en gezellig. Dus ja, ook bij ons zijn enkele oranje items te vinden. Wij wonen echter in een heel eenvoudig huis, geen villa, geen chique manoir of kasteel :)
Hartelijke groeten,
Marjolijn
I LOVE these images. The photographs of Axel Vervoordt's home have been my #1 favorite design since they came out in Architectural Digest a few years ago. Its so soft and beautiful, relaxing and resemble simpler times. Have you seen the sun room? It is stunning. I am making a post on my blog soon on Axel Vervoordt, come see bleuepiece.wordpress.org
ReplyDeletethanks for the wonderful post on orange.
