Orange has a young charm in home decoration
A colour expert with a focus on residential and commercial design called orange, Amy Wax is a universally pleasant shade that evokes youth in the interior space.

Swift’s stage design featured an orange touch, including a mysterious orange door projection, which was confirmed in the podcast as a clue that Swift is heading for a new era.
Orange also works in transition spaces like hallways. “The light orange colour in the hallway makes it feel so fun and energetic,” Wax said.
