You might think that orange was a poor choice for a kitchen as it has so much warmth about it but it can also be a brilliant and unusual choice giving your home an exclusive and unique look in a sea of bland colored kitchens. Orange, as you are no doubt aware, is an intense color, and it is impossible to ignore it but it is also both stimulating and welcoming, two qualities which are valuable in a kitchen. But how can you incorporate orange without creating a color scheme which seems over the top?
1. In a Pure White Kitchen
Kitchen Aid Mixers
If your kitchen units are shiny white, your work tops dark and your flooring neutral (for example wood effect laminate or granite tiles) then you need to inject some color on your walls otherwise your kitchen will be pretty cold and bland. The thing with a kitchen is that there is often very little wall space on show after everything is installed so orange is ideal to fill in the gaps and add interest.
2. In a Country Kitchen
Burnt orange gives a wonderful rustic touch to a country kitchen filled with solid wooden units. It works well if you have hardwood or terracotta flooring whether that is terracotta tiles or terracotta colored vinyl or laminate. It also lends itself well to a Mediterranean style and adding blue accessories and putting Mediterranean hand painted pottery on display will accentuate that look.
3. On One Wall
If you think all-over orange will be overpowering, you can add a contrast wall in a larger kitchen where other surfaces are a plain color such as white or cream. This works well to mark a separate dining area in your kitchen and make that more inviting than the cooler tones of the kitchen area. Be sure to tie the two areas together by taking some orange over into the kitchen area in the form of accessories or even in a pattern in the kitchen curtains.
4. As Accessories
Any room needs a focal point or two to lift it from the bland and boring and even if you are not ready for solid orange walls, you can have fun with orange accessories. An orange roller blind or kitchen curtains would look good at the window and would contrast nicely with any plants you have growing on the sill. Look for orange storage jars and prints for your walls too. You could use an orange patterned fabric to make kitchen seat cushions. Or display a bowl of oranges (Edible accessories!) There is even a Kitchenaid mixer in orange too that you can proudly put on display.

Black Friday KitchenAid K45SS Classic 250-Watt 4-1/2-Quart Stand Mixer, White Overview
Perfect for kitchens of all sizes, the classic series stand mixer delivers the power and durability to mix large batches. 8 cup flour power. Powerful 250-watt motor. Versatile 10 speed control. Durable, direct drive transmission. Multipurpose attachment hub wBlack Friday KitchenAid K45SS Classic 250-Watt 4-1/2-Quart Stand Mixer, White Specifications
KitchenAid's stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 250 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough; the 4-1/2-quart bowl can hold up to 8 cups of flour, which translates into as many as 192 sweet treats.This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solid in construction and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist; untwisting them is a bit trickier because the attachment stems are short and can be hard to grasp, especially if they get the least bit greasy. The bowl itself locks tight to the base.
Standing 14 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off.
To complete the package, KitchenAid includes a spiral-bound guide with instructions, mixing tips, and 67 recipes, from crispy waffles to a caramel walnut banana torte. --Betsy Danheim
