Unique Color Combination: Orange and Blue
I was watching Project Runway recently when one of the designers was chastised for making the mistake of putting blue and orange together in a single outfit. The judges felt like these colors just were not complimentary. While I understand their point of view, I have to confess that there was something wildly appealing to me about this odd color combination.
Would I go out on the town wearing blue and orange together? I'm not sure that I could pull it off without looking ridiculous. However, I do think I could easily combine these colors in my home to make a really unique feeling for the house.
The thing about using such bold colors is that you have to take some time to get it right. Play around with it. Figure out which other colors should be introduced into the mix to tone down the brashness or highlight the potential softness in this color combination.

Orange and blue combined together alone can be a bit too bold for many people. Add in black and you get a little bit of a Halloween feeling. However, add in white as well and you get a really modern interesting feeling. The unique headboard is an added bonus to the great color selection on this bed!
If it's too much to think about painting a whole room in these colors then definitely think about the power of the accent wall. Use the other color to decorate the rest of the room.
