Are you the kind of person who likes to keep up with decor trends? Maybe you are even a trendsetter.
Well some trends are easier to follow than others. You might think twice about your trendsetting ways when you hear that the current world favourite colour trend is Tangerine Tango. It is a reddish orange colour described as "a fun autumnal hue." This alone should set us thinking since we don't have a fall/ autumn to speak of.
There is nothing against using this colour in our country though. If you love to stay on top of trends you can still incorporate this powerful colour into your home by starting with accessories. The analogy here would be to fashion. When a new fashion hits town, you start with slippers and handbags rather than plunging into saris or Salwar suits. So, begin by buying a throw, cushions, or a lampshade in this trendy colour.
If you are comfortable with this colour, you can then consider something more major like painting one of the walls (called an accent wall.) If the colour is too bright for you, you can consider keeping all your walls neutral but hanging a large painting where the dominant colour is this tangerine tango.
Tangerine tango is a very bold colour but it works well with black so a picture as mentioned above with a wide black ornate frame or even a dark gold bronze coloured frame would work beautifully. Professionals advise keeping major items neutral. Thus you would not only not paint your walls but not change your sofa to the trendy colour - after all you have to live with the sofa long after trends have changed. By sticking to accessories for keeping up with the trends you can adopt the trends as they come and go.
For example if you invest in cushion covers in the trendy colour you can always keep the cushions and change just the covers when the trend changes.In any case, trends typically start with fashion and textile before moving into décor. In the case of oranges as Tangerine Tango is, the colour is a love hate relationship - you either love the colour or hate it. Never ever decorate in a colour that you hate no matter how trendy it is supposed to be.
If tangerine tango just doesn't do it for you, some other popular colours are, pink flambé, ultramarine green, honey gold, and rhapsody which is actually a grayish purple! It is clear that all these colours are bright.
