Pops Of Orange Are Set To Be A Major Home Trend In 2023
It's a new year which means there are a lot of home trends that are going to be coming and going. We've seen a few predictions from Shea McGee where we'll see maximalism, structured open floor plans, and many textural layers (via Realtor.com). Instead of sticking to designs that feel safe, such as neutral tones, it's time to go all out with bold, vibrant colors and funky patterns. In addition, maximalism includes combining antique pieces with modern décor. You'll be able to show off your personality with pieces that speak to you.
Pinterest predicts trends in different categories, such as interior design, creating a list of top trends searched by users. A few trends that made the top of the list are eclectic vintage interior design, maximalist decor vintage, antique room aesthetic, and mixing modern and antique furniture. You'll be able to play around with vivid colors through antique pieces. The goal is to create "soulful spaces that merge self-expression and historical nostalgia," per Pinterest.
A bold color we'll see this year is orange, whether using it as a primary color for a room or sporadically using it around the house. Benjamin Moore released the Color of the Year, Raspberry Blush, an energetic and charismatic red-orange. Benjamin Moore came up with the vibrant color as a means for homeowners and DIYers to make a statement. Here's how you'll be able to style the orange color throughout your home.
Include orange accessories
Decorating with orange can be intimidating since it's such a vibrant color. It can become the focal point in a room or be used as a background color mixed with complementary colors. Since there are different shades of orange, each shade can bring a different feel and look to a space. For example, a dark orange shade adds warmth and comfort to any area, while a brighter orange hue creates an exciting and happy environment. Don't let orange scare you; try pairing it with warm neutral tones such as beige, white, or black. If you prefer something bolder, brighter orange tones complement blues, yellows, and pinks, claims Fotor. To create a robust visual, you can use blue and orange for a retro living room.
There are different ways to use pops of orange throughout your space. Focus on the smaller items, such as furniture pieces, prints, trinkets, and throws. For example, style a living room with orange cushions on the couch for a pop of color, or create an art gallery that displays artworks with orange tones. On the other hand, find an antique orange chair and place it at a desk or next to the couch to stand out in the seating area. If you prefer something more subtle, lay an orange throw on the back of the sofa for contrast. The furniture items will make lavish maximalist décor in your living room.
Add a pop of orange to the kitchen
Sometimes it can feel like the living room should be the best-looking room in the house since it's the one that is used the most. However, spruce up other areas, such as the kitchen, by adding a touch of orange. Blogger Hadley Court suggests breaking up the kitchen into parts to add orange in multiple places, like a backsplash, while still creating a cohesive look. Another example is if your kitchen has an island, upgrade the base with an orange shade to add interest to the space. Match a pair of vintage brown leather stools to complement the island's new color.
For homeowners without a kitchen island, renovate the cabinet doors with a red-orange, like the new Color of the Year, Raspberry Blush, for a touch of warmth. Guests will be complimenting them throughout their entire visit. On the other hand, if you prefer to keep the kitchen as it is, you can add orange appliances and display a few on the counters. You'll be able to mix antique pieces in your modern kitchen if you find orange antique kitchenware, such as a toaster, an electric mixer, or a coffee pot. The pops of orange will be bold enough in the kitchen to catch your attention without overwhelming the room.
