Orange Color Trend 2008 - 2009

One of my favorite things about decorating is color, and I'm excited that one of my favorites, the color orange, will still be a hot color for 2009. Orange has been a favored color in home decor for over five years. I remember teaching a Color Theory class in May 2003, and three of the industry magazines I use for class all had orange colored products on their covers. This spring I was flipping through industry magazines, and there was Orange, front and center for yet another year.

For those who are interested, here's a bit of color trivia about Orange:

It's a Happy Color.
It's the color most often picked by creative people (artists, actors, writers).
Represents curiosity, creativity and fascination.

When using Orange in your decor, use it sparingly as it has high visibility. I like to add Orange to a room setting via accessories like pillows, vases, throws and smal objects.
