What Do You Think Of This Hot New Color?

Hi!

I'm an Interior Decorator & I end up working with around
4 clients a month, so I wanted a wider range of opinion.

I was wondering what you might think about this trend.

The hottest color for 2006 is ORANGE!

Here’s a nice picture:

What is your reaction to using this color in your home?

Have you jumped on this trend?

If so, what have you done that looks great and what has been a disaster?

I would love to know what you think.

Yours,

Orange is early 70s along w/shag carpet n avacado kitchens... *g*

Just my 2cents...

 

fuck trends
what a shitty idea
let's make a colour trendy for this year, and diss it next year.
*yawn*
orange has been 'in' since time began.

 

I agree trends suck.. but.. that room totally rocks.. I love that color on walls..

 

Yeah, I agree.

Paint a room a colour (or colours) that you know you'll enjoy for more than the colour's "trend-span."

 

I don't pay attention to trends, but that room is very nifty. I love bright colours, especially orange and reds. And the bed rocks. So, yeah, I dig it.

 

I've always loved orange, it's such a happy colour. But no, I'm not going to paint my wall a different colour because it's 'in', how fake.

 

I love that orange

 

we have some orange paint (a little less bright and more yellowish than in that picture) picked out for our master bedroom (bought the paint, haven't used it yet). Not because it's trendy, but because we like color on our walls and that color seems to enhance the natural pine furniture we have.

 

i personally love the color orange, but not because it's a trend. I would love my house to have some orangey colors, just not the entire house.

 

I've actually been into orange for a while, so I think it looks great... Last summer when my hubby and I redid our kitchen, I painted it this fantastic bright orange and everyone who's seen it ADORED it!

 

Ghehe my kitchen is like that kind of orange. And my bathroom 70'ties green.

 

I agree with just about everyone else that it's kind of stupid to go with trendy colors in a home unless you really like them.

That said, to brighten up my blah dorm room in the fall, I'm probably getting an orange duvet cover. This one to be exact: http://www.target.com/gp/detail.htm...3?_encoding=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B0006Q9CZM Orange definitely brightens up a room when you can't paint the walls.

 

I personally like more of a terra cotta/burnt sienna colour. It's bright, but subdued, so that when the sun comes into a room, it isn't TOO bright.

 

Yeah me too, I like a burnt orange better, it would be more 70's. My vw bus is orange and white and I love the way it looks.

 

Since when is orange a new color? I thought it'd always been part of the color spectrum.

 

Our room is about that color orange with grape purple trim. We painted it a few years ago and I love how it looks!

 

Orange is an "angry" color to me.

 

i love orange, but i would only go with it if it went with all my stuff or if i had an object in the room that brought the focus from the walls to match the object. i like how it looks in that room that is pictured though. i knew someone who painted there living room a darker orange, and it looked awesome but it also went well with who the owner was and his stuff. someday when i have my own place, i want to paint my kitchen counters like a sienna orange, not the counter surface, just the shelfs. And my walls will be light polyurthaned pine.
