How to Decorate With the Color Orange

When it comes to choosing a color theme for home decor, some people are afraid to try bright, vibrant colors such as yellow and orange. Orange is a mixture of yellow and red and can easily combine with both colors. These colors are stimulating and full of energy, excitement, and cheer. Fire orange is a good accent color in a home office, den, play area, and dining room. You can turn your living room or bedroom into a tropical getaway using orange.
