Orange You Glad I Changed my Mind?

 My friend Rachel is going to love this post. While it has always been her favourite colour, I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I have never been a huge fan of orange. BUT THEN Pantone named Tangerine Tango as the 'it' color of 2012 and suddenly I was seeing orange everywhere...and surprisingly, I didn't hate it. In fact...I was kind of loving it. I was particularly head over heels in the June issue of Style at Home magazine when I came across Marlie Waks's condo. Her living room and bedroom, splashed with fun orange accents, is invigorating, girly, fun and fresh.

Isn't it gorgeous? The hot pink with the bright orange is the ultimate combo. It reminds me of grapefruit and summer and fancy drinks and all things bright and happy.

So, orange you glad I changed my mind about this hue? I have interior design to thank for keeping my mind open, for inspiring me, and for introducing me to new looks and ideas everyday.

Are YOU a fan? How would you incorporate it into your house?

Accents of orange

Orange, what a wonderful colour!
Orange adds light and warmth into your house.
It is one of my favourite colours, so I try to bring it in my own as well as in my clients interiors.
You can easily combine orange with a lot of other colours : with black, white, brown, purple, green.
You can even use it in summer as in winterseason. It can be used in a classic, a modern or a contemporary interior.
An accent of orange can do enough to give your interior a warmer feeling!

Beautiful to me! The inside of the cabinet is painted in a shade of orange.
And notice the colours of the rug.

Even Axel Vervoordt seems to like the glow of orange in his venetian appartment.

Shades of orange in a painting from the Belgian Artist Scrivo.

My little bench was earlier covered in a brown fabric . The orange velvet contrasts much better with the dark coloured wood.

Everyone knows the famous Hermès-orange.

And this is a painting of a future artist : my niece Sarah Lefèvre.

She has made it for me 2 years ago when she was only 9 years old!

Gorgeous isn't it?

Thank you so much Sarah!

A nice weekend for everyone!
