Decorating with Orange adds Zest

The color orange is everywhere this year and personally, I love it.  It really looks great with just about every other color.  Orange and yellow set a happy tone.  Orange and blue provide a classic nautical look.  Orange and black have a retro feel.  So if you are looking to spice up your room with some throw pillows, art or an accent rug, give this succulent shade a try.

Choosing accessories in contrasting colors adds much-needed depth and interest to a room.  Arrange them on your coffee table, on top of your armoire or on your bare fireplace mantel.  Vivid place mats welcome your family to the dining room table.  A beautiful bowl on your foyer table makes a statement to guests as they enter your front door.  Some color experts say that those who choose orange are fun-loving, talkative, and trendy.  That sounds good to me!
