Associated Press

In this undated publicity photo provided by Brian Patrick Flynn, the designer, Brian Patrick Flynn, has layered several deep shades of orange throughout this space and then accented with shades of blue to create a cozy, inviting room.

Orange hues gain favor with interior decorators By MELISSA RAYWORTH Associated Press Leaves are changing and pumpkins are appearing on doorsteps around the country. As vibrant shades of orange fill the outdoors, they’re also becoming increasingly popular inside. Upholstery fabrics, paint colors, furniture and accessories that range from neon orange to tangerine to terra cotta are getting attention this season. But orange isn’t for everyone. When interior designers suggest decorating with orange, clients can get nervous. Designer Kyle Schuneman often eases homeowners

into using orange by suggesting variations on it. “The idea of orange can sound juvenile and unsophisticated,” Schuneman says. “But if you go with umbers, burnt bricks or terra cottas, you can sell a client on the idea much easier.” The key, he says, is using orange creatively and carefully. Here, Schuneman and designers Brian Patrick Flynn and Betsy Burnham offer tips on decorating with the color orange, and avoiding the pitfalls of using it badly. HOW MUCH TO USE? Orange can be overpowering as the

main color in a room. But, like red, it works brilliantly as an accent color. “I don’t suggest painting your walls orange,” Burnham says. “But maybe there’s an orange in the print on your pillows.” It can be casual (“maybe you bring in a garden stool that’s bright orange”), or chic and sophisticated (”think of Hermes orange, those shopping boxes”), she says. In a bedroom with muted, gray-blue walls, Burnham opted to add lacquered end tables in a rich shade of orange. Orange paint can also be a great way to spruce up a dated piece of furniture.

A little outdoor work this fall can make a big difference next spring.

Take action in the fall for pristine outdoor spaces next year (ARA) - The cooling weather signals most homeowners to retire their lawn and garden equipment for the year. But before you stow away the rakes and hoes, remember that fall offers a unique opportunity for starting projects that can yield beautiful landscape results next year. You can save time and potentially money by doing a few simple projects now so when spring arrives, your yard reaches its full potential. Every year, a lot of time, money and effort is devoted to the pursuit of a beautiful and well-maintained home landscape. According to the 2011 American Time Use Survey conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans who dedicate time to lawn and garden care spend on average more than two hours a day maintaining their outdoor spaces. While a beautiful yard takes effort, there are ways you can better utilize the time, money and energy you spend on maintenance. Keep these tips in mind when tackling the landscape during the cooler months: 1. Rake and pick up leaves. If leaves are left scattered on the lawn, grass won’t grow as well in the spring. Don’t worry about removing leaves from plant beds, as they actually help insulate and feed plants during the winter months.

2. Take advantage of fall planting opportunities. Plant perennial flowers, ground covers, spring bulbs, trees and shrubs in early so they have time to establish strong and healthy roots. Some of the best sales on perennials are in the fall when greenhouses are trying to close out their inventories. 3. Mulch plant beds. It’s important to add a layer of organic mulch to plant beds, which helps roots get established before the ground freezes solid. Mulch also helps to retain soil moisture and prevent future weed growth. Don’t add mulch where iris rhizomes are planted because they are prone to rotting. 4. Maximize your equipment with accessories. Find accessories or attachments that enhance the equipment you already own, such as your all-terrain vehicle. For example, the SnowSport ATV Plow manufactured by Agri-Cover can be used year round for landscaping projects as well as snow removal. With this versatile snow plow, a homeowner can easily level, spread or push dirt, gravel and snow anytime of the year. This turf-friendly, all-terrain plow is available in six different blade lengths, so you can find the best one for your ATV or utility terrain vehicle. Each blade is 14.5-inches high and has a 1-inch thick rubber cutting edge for efficient scraping no matter what project you’re taking on.

ARA

A little money can go a long way when remodeling a bathroom.

A million-dollar bathroom at a fraction of the cost (ARA) - The average cost of a bathroom remodel tops $16,500, according to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value report. But you don’t have to spend the average to achieve above-average results when it comes to updating a bathroom. Generally, people renovate or remodel bathrooms for two main reasons: to boost their home’s resale value, and to enhance their own enjoyment of the room. A bathroom renovation yields a 62 percent return on investment at the time of resale, Remodeling Magazine’s report indicates. How much more will you enjoy that ROI - and the improved livability of your bath - if your initial investment was just $1,000, rather than tens of thousands? Fortunately, the bathroom is one room in the house where you can accomplish a lot with $1,000. Here are four updates and upgrades that cost less than 10 Ben Franklins, but can leave you feeling like a million bucks when you step into your new bath. 1. Redo walls and floors

The key to bringing this job in under $1,000 is to do the work yourself. The actual materials - paint for the walls and tile, stone or vinyl for the floor - can be purchased for a relatively low cost. By doing the work yourself, you avoid high labor charges. Most bathrooms require only a gallon or two of paint, so you can easily stay on budget even if you purchase a high-end brand. It’s also possible to find plenty of cost-effective flooring options, from luxury materials like marble to more economical ones such as ceramic tile or vinyl. After the materials, your second biggest investment for this project will be the time it takes to learn how to do the job right. Fortunately, you’ll find plenty of educational material online and many home improvement stores even offer free classes in how to lay new floors. 2. Switch out the shower door After the walls and floor, the shower door is probably the third largest surface - and design element - in your bathroom. Unless your home was custom-built, chances are

your shower door is bland and basic, albeit functional. Replacing a plain shower door with one that features a design, pattern or frosting can add personal flair to a bathroom. Manufacturers like Sterling offer a variety of shower doors that are both beautiful and functional, including patterned shower doors. In addition, Sterling’s frameless doors feature the company’s trademarked ClearCoat technology, which creates a barrier between the water and glass to keep the door looking pristine and new. Prices vary depending on the style of door you choose, but you’ll find many budget-friendly options. 3. Swap out the shower enclosure Cracked, chipped ceramic tile or an old, stained shower enclosure can make your bathroom look tired, dated and dirty. Replacing the shower enclosure can give the room a whole new look. Plus, if you only have a tub and would like to add a shower, an enclosure is a fast, easy and cost-effective way to achieve your goal.

Orange Continued from Page 18 “Think about painting a great old chest of drawers a beautiful shade in a high gloss,” Schuneman says, “and changing out the knobs to really special crystal knobs to make a statement piece in a room.” WHICH SHADES ARE BEST? All three designers like earthy burnt orange tones that are almost as brown as they are orange. “With a burnt orange, you’d be surprised what the paint chip looks like,” Burnham says. “It looks more like a brown. But you paint a piece of furniture that color, and it reads orange. It does what it’s supposed to do — it brings some whimsy.” Flynn also likes using red-orange, “ideal for more youthful or edgy rooms.” The style of your home may help determine which shades you choose, says Schuneman. “Terra cotta is a beautiful backdrop for a traditional or retro feeling space, while pops of a more neon orange could be really fun for a modern space.” Whatever tone you choose, Schuneman suggests testing a sample if you’ve decided to take the plunge and paint with orange.

“Try three or four different shades,” he says, and view them in various types of daylight and artificial light. Also, he says, “orange is a lot like red when you’re painting, so you’re going to need three or four coats to get an even finish. But the end product will be a beautiful cozy space.” Just one word of warning: “Don’t go with a true shade of orange,” Schuneman says. “It will feel like ‘Pee-Wee’s Playhouse.”’ WHERE DOES IT WORK? Orange can look good anywhere in your home, but these designers say it’s especially beautiful for bedrooms. “Orange is my favorite choice for kids’ rooms, because it’s totally gender-neutral,” Flynn says. “My favorite combo for a kids’ space is tangerine and white. It’s clean and classic.” Schuneman agrees: “I love a warm shade of orange for a bedroom. My last bedroom was a burnt brick. It felt so warm and cozy,” he says. “It really works well with dim lighting at night, but also can invigorate you to wake up in the morning.” WHAT GOES WITH ORANGE? “I love pairing gray with orange,” Schuneman says. “It immediately amps up the hip factor and brings it into a contemporary setting. It works well because gray has a cool base, where orange is warm. So the balance really creates harmony in a room.”

Along with pale grays and deep charcoals, orange also goes well with dark and light blues and also browns, taupe, cream or white. Burnham cautions against pairing orange with other tropical colors or other harvest colors, like red and yellow. The room can easily begin to feel as though you’ve taken those themes too far. Rather than piling on all the fall colors at once, Schuneman suggests pairing orange only with brown: “I think you can create a really beautiful monotone room of creams, off whites and browns,” he says, “and pop it with orange to create a cozy feel. Use different textures in these similar color tones ... jutes, velvets and linens for that cozy fall feel.” WHAT TO AVOID? “I find yellow-orange the hardest to work with,” Flynn says, “because it’s very limited in accent color choices.” Burnham agrees, saying it’s best to avoid “that school-bus orange.” If you’re going with a bright orange, just be sure you’ll enjoy it long-term. Edgy, bright shades are “really going to pop and give your room some personality,” Burnham says. But “a little goes a long way,” and what’s hot today may quickly go out of style. “Like any trend,” she says, “use it sparingly.”
