There’s a definite shift in the air at the moment. Maybe it’s all the new season press days that are going on, or even the fact that today we saw actual sunshine all day (unheard of after the gloom and doom of the last few weeks) but I’m feeling a tad on the summery side. Which is probably why I am coveting all things bright and fun right now! All I want is for summer to hurry up and get here so we can crack out the BBQ.
Until then, however, I’m satiating my need for all things bright and summery by checking out the latest trend to come our way this spring, namely splashes of juicy orange. Bhs released pics of their new Tangerine Collection of homewares and furnishings last week and since then I’m coveting the bold and bright pieces, especially this gorgeous pendant lamp.
This new collection from Bhs is gorgeou
For a slightly more muted take on this juicy trend, however, pairing dusky tangerine walls with matt white accessories is a guaranteed winner.
Gorgeous or what?
Can’t you imagine just curling up in this bed with a good book? I think it’s the simple range of textures in this room that really does it for me – not too many that it’s overloaded, but just enough to keep it interesting. That big flat expanse of colour could look a little boring if it weren’t for the rug, knitted throw and leather headboard. We popped this up on the housetohome Twitter page this week and it got an almost universal thumbs up from our followers.
If you’re not keen on teaming orange with white, though, you are a little limited in what colours you can pair it with. I’m a little wary of teaming orange and black together (reminds me too much of Halloween costumes!) but I love the way this kitchen-diner‘s used dark metallic teal cupboard doors to offset the tangerine seats and units. Lovely!
What do you think of these metallic kitchen units?
What do you think – are you a fan of orange or are you steering clear?
