Tuesday Huesday: Decorating with Tangerine Tango

By now I am sure you have heard about the hottest color of the spring, Tangerine Tango. It is everywhere, especially when it comes to clothing and home fashions. For many it may seem easier to wear this hot color, than to decorate your home with it. This orange hue is a bright, vibrant color that can scare people to use in their home. Don’t be fearful of experimenting with bright non-traditional colors in your home. There are several ways you can add a color such as tangerine tango to any room, without going overboard. Take this bedroom pictured above; it uses tangerine tango in a chic way. I found this image on HGTV. They give several other ways to decorate with Tangerine Tango, which can be found here. The bedroom above pairs this hot color against a soft blue, and neutral white color. By adding tangerine tango to these less vibrant colors, it creates a nice balance. This is something that can easily be recreated in your home, by adding colorful accessories. The next time you’re concerned about playing with color, try adding a small accessory like a pillow or chair. Are you excited or nervous to decorate your home with vibrant colors?

This palette was created using FolkArt acrylic paint colors: # 2252 Blue Mist, # 628 Pure Orange, # 429 Winter White, and # 452 Raw Sienna

Tuesday Huesday: Warm Up Your Room With Plum & Sand

With the autumn months on the horizon, some of you maybe dreading the cooler temperatures coming your way. Just because the temperature outside is changing, does not mean you can’t add some warmth to a room inside your home. Warming up a room can be as simple as adding a few new accessories or embellishing those you already have. I love the colors used in this bedroom. There are neutral basics,  yet the plum accents add a nice vibe of coziness and richness to the room. Purple can represent either cool or warm parts of the color spectrum, depending on the hue. If you would like to use a purple shade to warm a room,  look for shades of purple that have a slightly red hue to pull out the warm tones in a room.

We created this color palette using FolkArt Acrylic colors, Buttercup #905, Plum Vineyard #523, Camel #953, Real Brown #231
