PERFECT PAIRING: Designer Paul Feiten had the board and frame shown here custom made for this Circle of Life wall sculpture. Painted in an avocado color, the background allows the sculpture to pop from the orange wall and gives it presence.

“Orange creates excitement and energizes me — when used correctly, it’s a winner.” — Paul Feiten

OH, ORANGE! These orange walls, in a room by Paul Feiten, left, of Paul Feiten Design, Bloomfield Hills, feature super-wide stripes painted in two tones from Benjamin Moore. “Orange is tricky,” he says, “but with a lot of study and research, I find the perfect companions.” Portrait by Hayden Stinebaugh.
