Orange is a wonderfully happy and inviting color! It is associated with meanings of warmth, vibrancy, joy, creativity, fun, freedom, and sunshine. This fresh color can also be a wonderful enhancement to home interiors. However, in order for the hue to work, it is important to create balance with the color in your interior spaces. I discovered many clever inspirations that I know you will love and maybe encourage you to put a little warmth and joy in your space with the color orange.
