Orange You Glad

An Orange Dining Room from Making it Lovely

This post is in partnership with Glidden.

I’ve used orange a lot in my home (like in August’s nursery and the original dining/living room setup), and I thought I’d revisit the color by putting together a dining room featuring the color. The plan below uses strong hits of orange in the chairs and other details, and I chose a pretty coral for the paint. I love the addition of the pink bowls too, and I imagine big fluffy pink flowers in those vases.

I write for My Colortopia, which is part of Glidden. Right now, they’re taking submissions for their Glidden #MyColorfulLife Project. You can upload colorful photos to their Facebook page or tag your photos on Pinterest with the hashtag #mycolorfullife, and they’ll then compile the images they receive into a large mosaic. You can learn more about it at Glidden.com.

I have partnered with Glidden/ Akzo Nobel Paints to participate in the My Colortopia program but the thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

    The orange radar sconce has been on my wishlist since I first saw it. Love.

    Love this! Also, would you mind sharing how you make your paint sample for mood boards?

      I created a custom brush in Photoshop for paint blobs.

    Great post! I almost spit out my tea when I read your title “Orange you Glad”, as I just did a post with the same title. Great minds think alike! Although, my post was more about using orange to make my super, duper out-dated bath so,so and kind of livable. I do like the ‘Boho Scales’ napkin. It would make a great wallpaper pattern.

    I love orange! Thank you for sharing! I painted my daughter’s nursery tangerine, the color sort of glowed into the hall, it may have been a little too much :-) I loved it anyway. The pop rocks glass is particularly lovely!

      Ah, I did that with hot pink once. It glowed into the kitchen of our apartment!
