I love using orange but it is a tricky color. I used it in my great room - but I did add some cinnamon tones to it and I used a soft suede like plaster on the walls. The effect is so earthy and relaxed. I paired with with creamy antiques moldings/ mantle, paisley and leather fabrics, woven wood blinds, warm rich wood flooring and a seagrass rug - and a few green accents for a pop of color. It's my favorite room!Linda Leyblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345437844014740242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842244027880136050.post-81416833155557120352011-02-16T19:09:50.431-08:002011-02-16T19:09:50.431-08:00I live in Arizona, and the houses here are always ...I live in Arizona, and the houses here are always painted with the desert browns and tans here. Thankfully I don't live in a strict homeowner's association community. My house is a vibrant orange that is tinted red and I've been playing with the trimming colors. I've discovered that green is the best complimentary color.<br />Anyhow, my neighbors loved it so much that the other three corner houses at our intersection have painted with shades of orange and green. If you ever happen to meet and intersection in Arizona with four orange houses, :) you've found me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842244027880136050.post-56975846752112529982011-01-31T19:34:09.929-08:002011-01-31T19:34:09.929-08:00I particularly like the kitchen.

I will consider using orange in the kitchen.<br /><br />I used a Terra-Cotta Orange in an office on a 40' wall. The wall already had a crow-foot texture. After applying the paint, I divided the wall into 3 areas and applied glaze as a Frotage. One section received Modern Master Copper Metallic in the Extender; the 2nd section received Copper Irridescent, and Gold Irridescent was used on the 3rd part. <br />I am pleased with the results. I like the Gold irridescent as it gives an Egyptian feel, however the Copper Metallic receives the most comments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842244027880136050.post-6945174821590440862010-11-18T09:50:17.715-08:002010-11-18T09:50:17.715-08:00This is great.

I'm planning to redesign my living room (I don't know when!). My living room looks lifeless. I want to try to use bright colors like orange or light blue for my walls.

Also did a ginger orange in my laundry and half bath because it was so cheerful. The only thing I find about orange is that it's easy to tire of quickly. So I repainted the dining room after 3 years and am in the process of repainting the laundry etc.Nancinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842244027880136050.post-34103849821610777642010-01-19T18:15:10.415-08:002010-01-19T18:15:10.415-08:00I love colour and orange has increasingly become a...I love colour and orange has increasingly become a favourite. I would like to use orange in my home but wasn't sure if I could since I have quite a bit of red. Still, it is a rust red or warm pink sort of red, definitely not a cool red. I like the husky and the kumquat. I love the top picture on this post. I really like the orange and cream combination. I have a cream and blue bedroom and am thinking of using some orange in there. Probably in textiles though not paint.
