According to color psychology, orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation. Why, with such positive qualities, we must say that an outdoor space could always use splashes of orange. Some also say that orange is a power color and that it is one of the healing colors. It is also said to increase the craving for food and also stimulates enthusiasm and creativity! This summer, if you’re having family and friends over a lot, sharing food and ideas over orange furniture sounds like a fabulous idea!
