Go Warm

Working with orange shades that have an amber touch is perfect for warming up the kitchen. You do not need to do this in big doses instead you can add it in, with a subtle approach such as having a warm light fixture or deeper hues as part of your seating.

Having a neutral kitchen is fun and beautiful yet sometimes the space can feel “cold” and impersonal. To avoid this from happening, add a warm color with an orange undertone such as an orange based nude or a softer terracotta. Paint an accent wall this softer shade to bring a warming richness that makes sense.

Creamsicle Dreams

Creamsicle is a classic orange shade, it looks great when paired with neutrals or other similar hues. The shade works best when it is displayed as a pop of color or even as the main essential hue. It makes the room feel larger and more put together.

Nothing screams orange quite like the beautiful shade of creamsicle. This shade is not only dreamy, but it brings a classic touch of orange anywhere it is placed.

Touch of Masculine

Having orange appliances is the perfect way to continue having a more masculine space without completely rearranging your decor. Consider having a bright orange stove or even refrigerator.

When most of us think of the color orange the last thing that may come to mind is “masculine,” yet the color holds its own when it is displayed in a masculine manner. When paired with a darker wood it becomes daring and in charge allowing the rest of the room to feel bold and put together.

Eat-In Nook

If you already have orange touches in the room consider adding orange chairs to your eat-in nook. Whether it be in the corner of your kitchen space or front and center the richness of the chairs will give a brightening effect anywhere.

Orange Accents

Many are naturally not fond of the color orange due to its “loud” aspect. However, when it is added in with a light hand the color comes to life while helping expand the room as well. Add it into a kitchen that needs a little hint of something different.

If you are not a fan of the color orange yet want to have fun accents orange accents is a way to go. Having the bold orange accents brings a modern touch that brightens the area while still having the rest of your décor remain the same.

Orange Meets Minimal

We love the idea of minimal decor, it’s perfect for smaller spaces or even larger ones. The idea is to have only the appliances and furniture bits that you need, anything more and/or anything less is not necessary. This can be done by having smaller orange cabinets as the main focus.

Minimal décor has become the trend to follow even in the kitchen area. The main reason for this being the less décor you have the grander your space will appear. Add orange in minimal bits by having orange stools. The stools add color while still having a minimal approach.

Wallpaper Galore

When selecting your orange wallpaper you want to consider using a bold pattern. The bold pattern will draw attention towards that specific area of your kitchen making the space feel more modern and put together. Or consider an orange tile backsplash.

So, you have officially integrated orange into your kitchen and can’t figure out what accents will work well with it. The answer is simple, metal accents will bring a different twist to any shade of orange from the lightest to the most rustic.
