The color orange has always been associated with oranges and the sunny mood of summer. That is why its use in the decoration and arrangement of the kitchen is an opportunity to create a surprisingly cheerful and positive interior.
But since the shade can be quite saturated, they choose either only the finishing or only orange furniture. And then another question arises: what wallpaper will suit orange work furniture if the walls are painted orange? Harmonious solutions will suggest optimal combinations.
Organic color combinations
- A classic option is a duet of white and pumpkin shades. Everything here is quite clear: if the furniture is orange, then the walls are white, if the wallpaper is orange, then the kitchen set is snow-white. This combination is used in different styles.
- Shades of beige are combined with sunny tones in a similar way. They often act as a backdrop for orange accents. But cream tones can be used both in furniture and in the decoration of both the working wall and the rest of the room, which can be seen in the next photo.
- A more contrasting but elegant combination is orange and black. This color will emphasize the rich depth of orange tone, highlighting the shapes and lines of the design. But such a solution is applicable only in spacious rooms. You can choose only some black details - matching façade edging household appliances, tabletop or pattern on. White wallpaper is usually chosen as a background for a black and orange work area. And, of course, it is never used like that contrasting combination in wall decoration.
- A harmonious solution would be to complement an orange kitchen with natural wood surfaces in their natural tones. A darker chocolate shade or wenge with its golden threads will add nobility to the interior, and light wooden surfaces will make the atmosphere warm and airy.
- The duo of orange and blue looks life-affirming. The photo shows that even in saturated versions these colors are harmonious. Their combination makes the interior energetic, so this environment is suitable for active people.
- A natural option is the green-pumpkin combination. When using a bright grass color, the design looks quite cheerful and cheerful. And muted olive or pistachio shades calm the rich sunny tone, calming the atmosphere in the kitchen.
- The gray-orange duet can also be called common. Gray is usually used in modern interiors, since it is the natural color of steel - facades of household appliances, functional structures.
If the walls are orange
Orange wallpaper in the kitchen requires careful selection of kitchen furniture, because the rich orange color requires a harmonious composition. As a rule, one of the walls or an area around the perimeter is painted in such bright colors. Pumpkin shade can act as a background for open shelves working area. Then the furniture should be less bright:
- white;
- cream or beige;
- pastel green;
- pale blue;
- light woody.
When choosing wall decoration in peach tones, you can give preference to a more saturated set. It is appropriate here to use chocolate or black surfaces, bright green and blue solutions. Still harmonious White color, which can be noted in the photo.
Orange set
Most often, of course, furniture is chosen first. Therefore, when talking about an orange kitchen, as a rule, they mean a set of this orange color. Accordingly, the question of what the decoration of the room should be remains relevant.
It is obvious that the walls are combined with pumpkin work area cannot be too dark even in a spacious room. Therefore, shades such as black, wenge, chocolate and slate remain in the details. Preference is given to light finishes, and then the choice is based on the preferences of the owners and the style of the interior.
- In any of the design directions you can easily choose light wallpaper neutral shade. On the following photos it is clear that cream, milk, white are appropriate both in country and in. Such walls can be plain or textured, with or without a pattern.
- Pastel green wallpaper will be organic. This duet is often used in eco-design, country and modern functional spaces, as in the photo below.
- A pumpkin set will look harmonious against the background of light lilac or gray walls. But it is better to dilute such wallpaper with accents or patterns, since such shades are quite cold and can make the room uncomfortable. Of course, when arranging a high-tech kitchen, fairly rich tones of gray and even slate are also applicable, but only in spacious rooms.
- A duet of an orange set with light wood tones will be light and comfortable. Typically, such wallpaper repeats the texture and natural pattern of a tree cut, as in the following photo.
- An interesting solution, regardless of the companion color, would be to repeat patterns in contrast. To do this, part of the facades of the set is decorated with an ornament that is repeated by the wallpaper. For example, a white pattern on pumpkin furniture and a similar orange pattern on white walls would be organic.
When choosing color combinations, it is important to adhere to the golden rule: the brighter the main orange, the more muted the companion should be. Along with pumpkin shade, any shade can be used harmonious color only in a very spacious and well-lit room. But the background should still be fairly light – neutral and calm walls, only then the kitchen will be comfortable.

- room area;
- cluttered kitchen furniture;
- orientation of the room to the cardinal points;
- location of windows and doors;
- kitchen ceiling height;
- selected design style.

- yellow color goes well with beige, blue, green, brown;
- orange can be safely combined with gray, black, brown and sand;
- The red tint can be advantageously designed in any combination; bold designers use a mix of red and green, for example. More standard combinations - with white, cream, black, gray;
- green tones look great with beige shade, gold, brown and yellow;
