How to Decorate an Orange Kitchen

Rosallee Scott
Orange decorating themes for kitchens should reflect the vibrancy of the color itself. Whether used on its own, or paired with other hues, decorate an orange kitchen with items that match the boldness of the color. It is versatile enough to be used in traditional spaces as well as modern rooms.

Oranges
Place a few in your favorite fruit bowl on the counter for inspiration. Pair it with other citrus elements, such as limes or lemons for a bright pallet in the space. For an ultra modern feel, keep the background completely neutral by painting the walls and cabinets a crisp white. Add only small touches of the bright contrasting hues such as dish towels and one piece of still-life artwork.

Celestial
Sunsets as well as sunrises can both be incorporated in orange decorating themes for kitchens. Take a photograph from your own backyard for a truly personal piece of art for the space.

Tigers
For a fun look, pair the color with black and use stripes as an accent on walls or your wallpaper border to represent tigers. This can be done in a minimalist interior design fashion, only adding touches that express the idea, rather than actual tigers themselves. It can also be done whimsically, with cute tiger statues and other accessories that have the jungle cat on them.

Tiger Lily
For an elegant space, this orange decorating theme for kitchens can be done in a traditional floral way or with a modern twist.

What ever interior design style you choose, place bouquets or single stems around the room for focal points.

Orioles
