How Do You Minimize 1980S Orangey Oak Cabinets And Floors?
Do you have the orangey oak of the 1980’s and can’t afford to replace it? Don’t fret! There are simple, low cost ways to minimize the orangeyness of the oak. Choose a wall color that visually minimizes orange. Reds and golden tones aggravate the problem and make your cabinets appear MORE orange. Its compliment, a silvery gray green will tame the orange so that it won’t visually POP out at you. Try new light bulbs. The common yellowy bulbs make your orange cabinets glow even more. Experiment with the cool-light bulbs and the other colors that are now available on the market. A different bulb may be able to take the edge off of the orange. When in doubt, employ the theatrical trick of misdirection. Divert the attention away from your cabinets by add a fabulous vase or awesome light fixture. It seems simplistic, but this can make your cabinets a non-story by giving people something else to remember.
