Blue and orange: an explosive color combination
Adopt the color at home: here is an attractive idea, but which makes fear the lack of taste. The trick, for a harmonious color association, is to combine two complementary colors and in this, orange and blue have it all!
However, this very current duo has a particularity: the color orange is the warmest color of the chromatic circle. Energizing and burning, it must be handled with some precautions.
The safest option is to use blue as the dominant color: this helps create a soft and peaceful environment, just waiting to be woken up with a few orange accessories.
Faced with an imposing piece of furniture or an orange accent wall, the trick is to choose a blue that raises the tone: we therefore dare to use deep shades such as midnight blue.
Although dynamic colors are in the spotlight this season, pastels are not left out. Do not hesitate to move towards a softer palette: even in a soft version, the combination of orange and blue remains elegant!
If it is important to keep a peaceful interior, the layout of the balcony or the decoration of the terrace allows more pep. Outdoors, we therefore allow ourselves to reverse the trend, and to use orange as the dominant color.
Combining blue and orange: the Color Block spirit
The combination of blue and orange creates a powerful and daring color impact: enough to compose a decoration of character, especially if you adopt the Color Block trend.
We love the two-tone kitchen! In blue and orange version, we focus on minimalism. From furniture to lighting, we favor clean lines by eliminating everything superfluous – including furniture handles.
Faced with orange furniture, dark blue is not the only option: you can orient yourself towards aquatic shades such as duck blue.
Blue and orange form a tandem with a strong presence. This duo is however easily associated with other colors, such as green or powder pink, in particular. To adopt this type of decoration, we will however avoid white, which can create a contrast that is a little too violent. We prefer taupe, ecru or even beige.
One of the tips for an elegant blue and orange interior is to make the decor breathe. Shades of light green – mint or sage green – work perfectly.
A few hints of blue and orange color to spruce up the decor
