Orange and Grey is the new Red and Black. Haha.....A statement color-combo born to be a classic. Check out the pictures below to inspire you this Holloween.
This picture is masculine, but adaptable to a femine side also. I orginally cliped out this picture for inspiration for a Man-Cave that I am working on. It is really non-descript except the punches of orange.
I LOVE this orange headboard. I am really drawn to upolstered headboards lately. This is so lovely. But, you better love the fabric because it is yours. The lattice type pillows and the small double stools at the end of the bed--instead of a bench--area all fun. With the scale of this headbaord so high, it needs balanced with like heighth objects like the lamp and the small stools.
This is where a darker peach paint comes alive. I love the tailered bed covers and the stripe-roll pillow at the foot of the bed pulls the room together in my opinion. Once a peach, always a peach
Love this orange-door and grey siding. Most likely, because I have an orange door and just painted 5 colors of grey paint on the backside of the house to see which would look best on our colonial. When the weather is nicer, I will take pics and get you all to help me decide.
Now this picture I also love, because I have that exact rug in my living room and a chair almost identical. What I like the most is that its eclectic in style and easily a way to pull together things you have in other rooms to "style" your own living room. I may practice what I preach.
This orange kitchen is a bit modern for my taste, but I do love the cabinents. I was looking a green ones very similar over at IKEA for the Man Cave as well. These cabinets would look great in a bar area or garage.
Who couldn't be creative in this office? The soothing grey walls and pattern orange curtains. The rug would work in any room and help ground the space. I love the shabby desk and that abacus?? Wonder where they got that?
Here, wallpaper is king. Similar orange and white pattern to the run above, but smaller scale and on the wall. The head-board is super fun. Painted and upolstered in Grey textured fabric. The boloster stripe pillow brings it on down and keeps the pillows from competing with the wallpaper.
This wallpaper is more of an orange-yellow and it shines in an all-white bedroom with splahses of blue and grey. I don't know if even I am brave enough to pair zebra print curtains with ginko wallpaper. But, after looking at this pic, why not?
Here you take a non-descript vanilla room and add in splashes of orange and grey. Objects that can be switched out to other colors whenever you feel like it. Start with curtains. Notice how the grey solid bottom piece grounds the space. Next add pillows to the couch and a lovely print for the wall. Instant room
I admit this is one of my favorites. I am in love with Bold curtain prints right now. Especially stripes like the ones above and chevron. I recently bought some great vanilla plain groment top curtains from IKEA for $24.00...yes, $24.00. I am going to attempt to create my own stripe curtains at a fraction of the cost......I will let you in on it, when I start.
