Orange You Glad to See Me?
I have recently fallen in love with the color orange. Well anybody that knows me knows that I have no issues with color to begin with. I love color. I love variety. I love exploring the color wheel and finding new ways to play with the colors that I find there. My first rule with color is that if it works in nature it is going to work in my home. The second is if start with paint, I can always re-paint if I make a horrible mistake (which not surprisingly I have actually done before) Finally, there are no rules – color is supposed to be fun. So, with that in mind, I’ve recently decided to play with orange. I have a large poster in my house that has a lot of orange in it and that was my jumping off point. (you always need some type of inspiration and it can come from 
just about anything, anywhere) To really make the orange in the poster pop I painted the wall that it is on gray. Then I painted three other walls gray – really looked cool but I started noticing I was losing the punch of the orange – now here is where it gets fun. I painted an accent wall very bright orange – looks amazing! I added a rug to the floor (of course) that pulls the orange down off the walls. Then I started playing with pillows, candles, throws – you get the drift.
I spent quite a bit of time searching through the Rugs to My Door assortment looking for rugs that will incorporate the orange but leave me options for when I decide to change. Here are some of the area rugs that I found and will be adding to the hardwood floors of my apartment.
Two rugs from Nina Upson work just perfectly – the first is vibrant with organges, reds, tangerines, all sorts of great colors and my black leather chairs just bounce off this rug. The other rug brings the contrast of cool colors in with it and gives me a whole new palette colors to play with.
Finally, there’s this Andy Warhol rug from Oriental Weavers / Sphinx that I have coming. It pulls the orange very nicely, but gives me all sorts of other colors to play with in my accessories and ideas for future wall colors.
As you can see I am not afraid of color – it brightens my mood, my home and keeps things lively. Try it you might find that color in your home can do the same thing.
