Orange in the dining room My dining room is a celebration of l'orange, from the lacquered planters to the zigzag carpet and glass face sculptures on the mantel. Lots of white space gives ample breathing room. Other tricks for creating balance:- Blue is the main accent colour. A dab on either side wall balances things out and establishes symmetry.
- The repitition of circular motifs (the artwork, the globe lights, and the round chairs) softens the zigzag.
- Sunflowers provide a happy focal point.
- Perfect paint: Benjamin Moore white Marine Deck paint always looks amazing on floors.
