there’s something so lovely about the combination of orange and grey. and since today is all about the kitchen and cooking (ok, well, the main post is) i thought it would be fun to oggle this beautiful dark orange/ed faucet. designed in 1961 by arne jacobsen, the vola kv1 was used in this beautiful kitchen remodel by DAP stockholm, seen via remodelista. i love the contrast between the neutral wallpaper (cole and son‘s “woods”) and that rich color. makes me want to rip out all that white in the kitchen and install a glossy turquoise colored sink.

oh la la orange + arne jacobsen + a kitchen faucet!
oops i spelled his name wrong.
now i want to get an arne jacobsen “inspired” faucet at ikea + paint it!
orange and gray is fantastic! so fantastic in fact that i’m using the colours in my wedding! the whole spectrum really–from marigold through to orange and pale dove gray through to pewter. it’s going to be beautiful! (i hope)
I think the orange and grey complement each other, they would look good on corporate livery too.
I am just about to fit a new kitchen, so I will seriously consider red and grey.
Grey background with red fittings is nice, but the other way around I think doesn’t work, as I don’t think you want too much red.
I think this is nice if the grey is not too dark. Going for a medium or light grey is the way forward.
Orange and grey is super modern and I have used in a few of my properties.. Very chic IMO.
Grey goes with anything, but orange or red are both nice.
I recently re-did our kitchen, and we went for a black granite top with cream and red tiles. The red tiles were mozaic tiles about 6 inchs high from the black granite, and the black and red looks really good together. Not quite orange and grey, but similar colours and I’m really happy with it.
I love grey and orange, I did one of my bathrooms using these colours (apart from the fittings – toilet etc) which are ceramic white.
Grey and orange Rules
I think grey and lilac are the next thing.
Yes, grey and slightly off white purple.
Nice funky looking red tap in the image above.
