Stimulate your Interior – Add Orange

Written by faith on December 2nd, 2009

Recently in my Seattle interior design practice, new clients enjoy the color orange. And I love the burst and enthusiasm that orange brings to an interior. :-)  Here’s a definition of the symbolism of orange, “Orange is a mixture of yellow and red and shares some of their attributes. It signifies warmth, friendship, practicality and liveliness. Orange is a stimulating color, it stimulates emotions and stands for the change in seasons. It signifies autumn, lying  between the warmth of summer and the cool of winter. It is a color that demands attention without screaming for it. It’s found in nature in the leaves of autumn, in the setting sun and in the flesh of oranges. It is warm as red but more friendlier and less passionate, it defines friendship, warmth and goodwill just as red symbolises love and passion.”

Here are a few finds in orange to add some of the attributes to your home.
