Orange sofa: warm color accent in the interior (29 photos)
Content
Warm and vibrant orange - a life-affirming and optimistic color accent. Chromotherapy is the science of treating the human psyche with the help of color. It states that orange in moderate amounts promotes a speedy recovery from ailments such as apathy, depression, spleen, and sudden loss of energy. Orange is the national color of the cheerful Dutch.
The orange sofa is not tied to any particular interior style. It looks like a warm color spot against the background of pastel wallpaper, ceiling and curtains, supports the general sunny atmosphere of the room. The accessory is appropriate in the free guest room, in the reception of the office, in the kitchen and in the nursery.
Living room
The living room is a meeting place for the whole family for a warm friendly conversation. It is on this stretch of space that I want to experiment with orange.
The living room, in which the interior is dominated by peach pastel colors, and the orange color is represented in many details, can be complemented by a figured sofa with fabric upholstery. It should be noted that an abundance of orange is undesirable for the rest room.
In order not to overdo it with orange, it is better to use muted shades. A corner brick sofa with a dozen pillows or pouffes will perfectly fit into a living room with light orange walls.
An orange sofa accordion, combined with clean white space, will add richness and freshness to the white living room. A corner sofa of saturated, bright orange color is appropriate in a bright room with terracotta curtains and walls.
Office
The terracotta color of massive leather sofas is a necessary moderate severity if the office is decorated in an Art Deco style.
It is not recommended to overload the interior in orange. In excess, it will imbalance the nervous system, increase irritability and fatigue. Orange is used to design office rooms, the windows of which are facing north, which is why the room looks rather dull for most of the day. In a small office, an orange sofa will not be appropriate - it will visually reduce the size of the room.
Children
An orange sofa in the interior of a children's playroom will create a cheerful, emotional atmosphere. If the children's room is poorly lit, a bright sunspot in the middle will come in handy on cloudy days. A bright sofa should not be used in a room where the child is relaxing, it is better to give preference to calm, cold, soothing shades. An angular figured sofa with soft pillows of various shapes in sunny colors rhymes well with elements of decor in the color of sea wave.
A cheerful sofa is a good addition to the interior of a children's room with illustrated wallpapers.
Bedroom
In the bedroom, orange is inappropriate except for its light, pastel shades. Energetic, sunny, invigorating orange color excites the human nervous system, which does not contribute to a full night's rest.
A wooden bed with natural upholstery in a fresh peach hue, covered with a bedspread with an ethnic ornament, will remind you of a gentle and romantic oriental style.
The peach-colored sofa bed goes well with airy light tulle and green pillows. When choosing bedding, it is better to give preference to calm, monophonic colors.
The bedroom with an orange sofa should have monochrome cold white lighting. Give preference to ethnic-style wooden accessories. Coziness and tranquility will bring indoor plants into the interior.
Kitchen
Orange color has a positive effect on taste buds and the digestive system. The proportion of orange in the interior of the kitchen can be increased up to 25%, which is strongly recommended not to be done in other rooms. With gray autumn days and endless winter nights of our latitudes, a kitchen full of juicy colors will help to cheer up and maintain internal energy at the proper level. A small corner sofa made of eco-leather or any other material that is well cleaned is suitable for the kitchen.
The dining room, combined with the living room, will be divided into two separate zones by an orange sofa with soft upholstery and decorative pillows. The corner kitchen sofa in a rich orange hue, combined with an orange worktop, will enliven and decorate the kitchen.
How to choose a sofa shape?
Before buying a sofa, you should take into account its direct purpose and the place that it will occupy in the room.
The main varieties of sofas:
- Small size sofa for sleeping with a transformation mechanism (sofa accordion). Suitable for small rooms of block houses; functional, affordable.
- Corner sofa for large rooms, studios and guest rooms. Some models are equipped with drawers for linen.
- A modular sofa is a type of corner, consists of several sections, designed for a spacious room. Sectional sofa fills a space in the corners of a large studio or hall.
- An island sofa is a good find for a large hall, reception or guest room. Refers to premium class furniture.
Upholstery for sofas
When choosing a cover for upholstered furniture, the following factors are important:
- location;
- the presence of pets;
- exposure to furniture in direct sunlight.
Fabric fibers tend to fade over time if the coating most of the time is exposed to direct sunlight. In this case, preference is given to a shade that does not fade too much in the sun.
Coatings made from coarse fibers will minimize furniture damage from pet claws.
Genuine Leather
Leather sofas are attributes of the Art Deco style. For the hall, guest room and study, preference is given to leather sofas in a classic terracotta hue.
Orange eco-leather sofa
Ecoskin - upholstery for upholstered furniture. In appearance, the product is similar to genuine leather, but practical characteristics have their advantages: durability and ease of care.
The price of such a product is much lower than leather. The eco-leather orange sofa is easy to clean - just wipe the surface with a damp sponge, and then wipe it dry. Suitable for offices, receptions, guest rooms.
The coating looks stylish, but it also has disadvantages:
- in winter and summer, it is unpleasant to touch the eco-leather cover with open areas of the body - you will have to cover the sofa with a soft coating;
- not recommended for homes where pets live;
- stains from children's markers and paints will be difficult to remove from a bright light surface.
Upholstery
A sofa designed for daily rest needs a strong fabric upholstery. Of the synthetic coatings, polyester and polyamide are wear-resistant. Among natural fabrics, cotton and linen should be preferred.
The sophisticated design of the sofa requires beautiful and aesthetically pleasing upholstery materials such as jacquard and chenille. A cozy sofa bed with velor or chenille coating is a godsend for a children's room.
A bed upholstered in cotton printed fabric is also suitable for a children's room. The coating will not cause allergic reactions in the child and will not require special care if the fabric is protected by a special coating on top. If there is any doubt about the durability of the material, then for a children's room it is better to choose a sofa bed with a removable cover, which can be easily washed in case of contamination. In addition, simply changing the cotton cover to a product of a different color, you can significantly change the design of the children's room.
The living room makes no less stringent rules for the use of sofa cover than a children's bedroom. The fabrics, in which synthetic fibers predominate, include flock, chenille, velor.
For fabric upholstery of the sofa, the following shades of orange are preferred: coral, peach, brick, saffron, provided that the room itself is designed in a calm pastel color. A corner sofa with a warm shade can smooth out the flaws and asymmetry of the room. With the right selection of furniture, even the dimensions of the room can significantly change.
If the design of the room is made in bright colors, they select the fabric coating of muted shades so that the colors "do not clog each other." Terracotta and peach shades of orange are suitable.
The combination of orange with shades of other colors
The orange sofa is organic in an atmosphere of cream, sand, caramel, walnut and golden decoration. The gray finish visually changes the orange color, it acquires a bluish tint.
Orange and white
White background should be maintained in the design of the entire room, including the floor. If the color of the floor is dark, it is better to cover it with a white carpet with a long pile.
Orange and Caramel Shades
Shades of orange - warm sunspots, memories of the past summer. You can fill in the lack of sunlight and positive energy with the help of an orange sofa and cute little things of red and yellow shades, placed throughout the room. Room accessories should be associated with home comfort. It can be impressionist canvases on the walls or herbarium in a decorative vase, pillows and puffs in rich brown, chocolate or brick shades. Textured fabrics will help to warm with their heat: checkered plaids, large-pile floor carpets.
Orange, pink and purple
In rooms of a large area and studios, there will be enough space immediately for three saturated colors: warm orange and cold pink and purple shades. In the case of color saturation, restraint in the form and variety of furniture and accessories should be observed. The rectangular shape of the orange sofa should not be combined with crystal chandeliers.
Orange and brown
To create an ethnic style interior, just two shades are enough: fiery orange and brown. Accessories and details in the national style or prefabricated eclectic mosaic - it all depends on individual preferences.
Orange and blue
Blue color is a natural antagonist of orange, their proportions in the interior should be different. If an orange sofa is located in the guest room, the blue color is appropriate in the form of a color accent on several accessories.
Orange and pink
Warm orange and cool pink are a wonderful romantic duet. This color combination is typical for the Arab countries, it should be supplemented with embroidered pillows, gilded candlesticks and rugs with ornaments.
Burst of color
The modern interior design in the youth style of pop art resembles an explosion of colorful bombs. A sign of style - rich, vibrant colors, which together contradict each other.The brightness of a plain orange sofa should correspond to the brightness of other interior details: colored pillows, carpet, accessories.
Orange - the color of a juicy orange can inspire, stimulate the brain, but at the same time, excessive use of shades of orange in the interior of the room has the exact opposite effect: it inhibits and causes irritation. Follow the advice of designers and leave the orange color only a role of emphasis on the plain pastel background of the room.
