Navy and Burnt orange always makes for a bold colour scheme. They are complimentary colours and sit opposite each other on the colour wheel and as such lend themselves to dramatic scheme. A complementary scheme such as this is believed to provide the ideal balance in a room as it includes both a warm and cool hue. Although it would be a great starting point to any interior scheme these colours lend themselves very well to a mid century style scheme.
Max Brown Hotel, KuDam, Berlin
I had the privilege of visiting this hotel on a regular basis when I lived in Berlin, it appealed to me because of the relaxed retro vibe, from the mid century furniture against the exposed ducting and copper pipes all set against the tropical wallpaper.
Its a bold look and the use of the mustard colour throughout, the ‘red thread’ that helps link the spaces, helps create cohesion and brings all the elements of the scheme together.
Its a great example of using vintage pieces in a modern setting without it looking stuffy and contrived.
