Radiant Orchid Home Décor
Posted By:
Thursday, June 5, 2014
Summer is
approaching, and it’s a popular time for bright colors to be incorporated in
clothing. But bold colors aren’t just for wearing; they can also be a vibrant
part of your home. Radiant Orchid has been deemed Pantone’s Color of the Year
for 2014, and we’re head over heels for this color in home décor!
• KITCHEN
Purple is known as the color of royalty. There
is no better place to feature the color than where you dine. Adding orchid to
the kitchen can create a dining experience fit for a queen. You’ll be inviting
Queen Elizabeth for tea (and she’ll most likely accept) after reading these
tips.
Textured wallpaper or even orchid paint are great
places to start when redoing a kitchen. Having orchid walls has a high-impact
contrast against dark-colored appliances. Even taking a few chairs and painting
them purple adds a modern look to a kitchen. If you want to be extremely
daring, look for orchid cabinetry or countertops to take purple to the next
level.
If you do not want
to go full-on orchid just yet, try using accents of the color. Orchid is appealing
in both light and dark colors, so choosing the shade is simply a matter of
personal preference. A great way to start is by painting the drawers on an
island or getting light purple tiles for a kitchen backsplash.
• BATHROOM
In a room that’s meant for primping and relaxing, a good way to liven the mood is adding
orchid to the bathroom. Incorporating orchid into a bathroom may seem a bit
curious at first, but with these ideas, it’ll be the favorite room of the
house.
Purple is typically seen as feminine but not too
over-the-top feminine color. So if your husband is not a fan of the color,
using tile strategically in the bathroom may help sway him. Adding orchid tiles
in the shower may be just right for some people. But if it is too bold for your
taste, put some orchid tile on the wall just behind your sink. Are vast
makeovers not what you are wanting? Try adding an orchid shower curtain or even
a few towels in the mix to get the feel.
Adding neutral
colors along with orchid can create a calming mood. Beige and purple in the
bathroom can generate a tranquil effect, which is perfect for those who look at
the bathroom as a spa. Taking a darker neutral like gray or black and combining
it with purple may have a more dramatic effect to it. Add orchid tile or paint
to the bathroom along with gray fixtures and you’ll have a bathroom that any
royal will admire.
