Orange paired with blue is everywhere these days. Although the combination of these two strong colors is not for everyone, there is no question that a little orange adds a lot of energy and zing to a room.
When orange is used with blue, a good bit of white should be part of the design plan, too. That makes it very fresh and appealing. Here's how George Smith does it:

ReplyDeleteI wanted to add that even though a strong turquoise and orange don't work in my home, I adore a softer version of salmon and ice blue or aqua.
