“The color of the sun”
“Radiates warmth and happiness”
“Optimistic and uplifting”
These are some of the phrases that I found while doing some research on decorating with the orange. I was definitely sold when I found “Rejuvenates the spirit”.
Like with all good decorating I think a restrained hand is the key. I love the pop of orange in these metal stools. I love everything about this kitchen.
