How to Decorate With Orange

Accent Wall

• 1

  Choose one wall in your room to paint orange and serve as an accent wall. For instance, in a bedroom, you can choose the wall behind your bed to function as the accent wall.

• 2

  Paint the other three walls a pale, neutral shade that looks good next to the color orange you have chosen. Be cautious with bright white because it could look stark next to the orange.

• 3

  Decorate the room mostly in neutral shades with a pop of orange color here and there, such as in throw pillows, lampshades, rugs or artwork.

Mix It Up

• 4

  Choose a color combo that pairs well with orange, such as bright orange and royal blue, purple or red.

• 5

  Decorate the room with different items that incorporate the colors you have chosen, such as an orange-and-royal-blue bedspread with a royal blue rug. Or do the same with a red and orange scheme.

• 6

  Add a third color, such as yellow to a red-and-orange combo or a deep green to a blue-and-orange scheme. Incorporate the third color via artwork, towels, throw pillows or side tables.
