Any color is oscillations of waves of a certain length with a certain frequency, and these fluctuations affect our body even if we close our eyes and do not see the colors of the objects surrounding us.
Orange helps to normalize blood circulation, stabilizes the nervous and reproductive systems. In addition, it has a positive effect on the organs of the respiratory system and has a general warming effect. Orange will not only give a positive mood, but also make the bedroom lighter, sunny, warmer, although at the same time visually reduce its size a little.
Features of color application
Orange is an active color related to warm tones. These properties impose some restrictions on the application. Use color with extreme caution if the bedroom windows face south. This refers primarily to the design of the bedroom, which uses saturated colors over a large area. In this case, there is a risk of excitation of the nervous system, which is undesirable for a room such as a bedroom.
However, bright orange in small quantities, for example, in accessories, will add the right dose of positive to the design, without undue excitement. The color has many soft shades, such as peach, terracotta, apricot and others. They may vary in saturation.
Tip: If light orange is chosen as the main tone when decorating the bedroom, choose orange, but brighter colors as accents. For example, peach and tangerine are perfectly combined: against the background of light peach walls, furniture with a juicy tangerine shade will stand out beautifully.
Interior Use Options
There are two equal approaches to bedroom design: it can be made using orange tones as the main ones, or this color will be present as an accent. Both options look very impressive, which one to prefer - depends only on personal taste. Consider the different options for using an orange tone as an accent when designing a bedroom.
- Wall. One of the walls is chosen accent - usually a wall at the head of the bed. It is stained with paint, or pasted over with wallpaper containing orange as the main one. On the same wall, you can place lamps, paintings or other elements of the decor, making sure that in tone they harmonize with the main background.
- Furniture. On a white, beige, gray background, furniture in orange shades looks especially impressive. It can be either upholstered furniture for a bedroom, for example, armchairs with orange upholstery, or a cabinet - cabinets and shelves painted in bright orange can serve as decorative accents.
- Textile. The easiest way to revive the boring monotonous interior of the bedroom is to add orange textile elements to it. It can be curtains that create the effect of a sunny day, bedspreads, rugs, pillows, carpets both on the floor and on the walls, as well as furniture covers - the most budgetary way to radically change the situation.
- Accessories Table lamps, vases, photo frames and other accessories in orange tones will allow you to change the impression of the bedroom in a matter of minutes, add lightness and good mood to the design.
Combination with other colors
It is almost impossible to meet the bedroom interior, made in one color of one shade. Usually use either a combination of different shades of the same color, or a combination of different colors. Consider the various options for combinations.
- Shades. The option is possible when almost everything is done in the bedroom in orange - from wall decoration to bedspreads on the bed. Depending on the shade, it can look very bright and aggressive, or, conversely, gently and soothingly.
- White. White perfectly combines with all colors, including any shade of orange. He dims the brightness of this cheerful tone and slightly “cools” it. The interior of the bedroom acquires lightness and airiness. On a white background of the walls, separate orange elements look especially impressive - furniture, curtains, bedspreads.
- Gray. Gray is considered to be cold, paired with orange, it will “cool” it, adding calm and measuredness to the riot of colorful fire. Usually gray is used in the design as the main, placing orange accents on its background.
- Beige. It is considered neutral, and is great for softening orange. Unlike white, it does not create a sharp contrast, so in the bedroom this combination looks optimal. The interior is quite calm, but at the same time not without brightness. In the photo, beige tones muffle the brightness of the orange, creating a calm atmosphere for relaxation.
- Brown. The design of the bedroom in orange tones looks very stylish and respectable in combination with brown shades of wood. In the photo, brown furniture stands out against an orange background.
- The black. As a rule, orange-black is added to the combination of white - it helps to achieve harmony and avoid gloom in the bedroom. This combination is very popular in modern styles and looks really impressive. The main thing is not to overdo it with the amount of black and choose the right shade of orange.
- Blue. The design of the orange bedroom with the addition of blue acquires special expressiveness and depth. At the same time, it is important that the blue is deep and calm enough, too bright shades will create unnecessary contrast and negatively affect psychological comfort. In the photo, the deep blue in the textile contrasts gently with warm orange, cooling it.
- Turquoise. Azure, sky blue - all possible variations of this shade are perfectly combined with orange, especially when used in pairs as accents. Without disturbing the calm atmosphere of the bedroom, they bring a joyful note and enliven the interior. The combination of orange-turquoise colors in the interior can be successfully used in many interior styles, in particular, the Italian version of the Mediterranean style, as well as in the marine.
- Green. The orange bedroom interior is harmoniously complemented by warm tones of young grass and green foliage. Together they create a joyful atmosphere and are especially suitable for decorating bedrooms in ecological interior styles.
Tip: You should not combine bright orange with red and yellow tones, since they are all warm and mutually reinforcing each other.
