Features of the application of color
Orange is an active color related to warm tones. These properties impose some restrictions on the application. Use color with extreme caution if your bedroom windows face south. This applies primarily to the design of the bedroom, which uses rich colors over a large area. In this case, there is a risk of excitation of the nervous system, which is undesirable for a room such as a bedroom.
However, bright orange in small quantities, such as in accessories, will add the right dose of positivity to the design, without being overly aroused. The color has many soft shades such as peach, terracotta, apricot and others. They can vary in saturation.
Advice: If light orange is chosen as the main tone for decorating the bedroom, choose orange, but brighter tones as accent colors. For example, peach and tangerine are perfectly combined: juicy tangerine furniture will stand out beautifully against the background of light peach walls.
