An Orange Bedroom?

Would you ever think of painting a bedroom orange? Orange is associated with excitement and affection. It is warm, friendly, and inviting and denotes a sense of home. Deep oranges are associated with rich beauty; lighter shades represent comfort and relieve stress. Orange increases appetite, induces relaxation, slows down rates of blood flow and increases sleep. Therefore, lighter shades of orange such as peach would be calming for a bedroom. Use orange in the dining room, family room, formal living room, guest bedroom and bath and foyer.
