ORCHID: INTRODUCTION
According to Pantone, the 2014 color for fashion, design and furnishings is Radiant Orchid, which literally means luminous orchid.
A perfect color to add a touch of vivacity and liveliness to the home while still being a color capable of creating very suggestive atmospheres. Here are some ideas to inspire you to decorate your home with the radiant orchid!
CHARACTERISTICS
The radiant orchid color is a bright and luminous mix of fuchsia, pink and purple.
Perfect for individual objects and furnishing accessories to add a pop of color to a rather serious decor and context, or as the dominant color of a room, from the walls to the furnishings, for lovers of original and characterful colors.
In particular, those who love eccentric, youthful, and colorful settings can pair radiant orchid with equally vibrant colors like turquoise, yellow, green, or orange. For those who prefer more sober and elegant spaces, orchid looks best paired with white or gray for cushions, tablecloths, curtains, or other furnishing details.
Not only that: for those who love to experiment and dare, the radiant orchid can also be used to whitewash the walls of your home. In this case, however, it is better to reserve this color for the bedroom or bathroom or use it only for certain walls or architectural details.
FURNISHING IDEAS
Choose modern orchid-colored furnishings to liven up a rustic setting dominated by natural materials and colors: a truly pleasant and original contrast!
In fact, to have a fashionable and trendy home it really takes very little! Get yourself an orchid-colored tablecloth: without disrupting the rest of the decor and without spending a lot, you’ll create a romantic and trendy atmosphere!
The orchid color is perfect for those who love retro settings. To create suggestions that evoke times gone by, choose radiant orchid to paint objects or furnishings with shapes and materials with an antique feel.
Furthermore, for those who love the sumptuous atmospheres typical of period villas and castles, the orchid color can be an idea for furnishing a large bedroom. All you need is a precious wallpaper and a bed filled with cushions, with radiant orchid as the dominant color that acts as a common thread.
PAIRINGS
The orchid color combined with bright, contrasting colors, such as orange, is ideal for decorating an eccentric and extravagant kitchen. Bold color combinations for those who don’t like to go unnoticed.
Alternatively, for those who love a minimal but not anonymous style, the radiant orchid can be an idea to liven up a modern living area where sober, neutral and natural colors and materials predominate.
Furthermore, a kitchen with modern, clean and stylized lines, in which white and radiant orchid alternate: a cheerful and original mix, perfect for those who love a youthful home.
A bedroom that combines classic and modern, dominated by the color orchid in all its shades for an intriguing yet relaxing result. Furthermore, radiant orchid can be an excellent alternative to classic pink for a girl’s bedroom: an equally feminine but more calming color.
In conclusion, the orchid color can be an original idea for furnishing or adding a pop of color to a modern bathroom with white sanitary ware and sinks, with modern and stylized shapes.
