Dark green and burnt Orange Living Room

Orange has a lively, playful vibe that energizes a room. Oranges range from soft and cheerful to boisterous and loud. Although not used as extensively as many other colors, orange works well with several decorating themes, especially Old-World influenced styles such as Tuscan, French Country and Southwestern. Never boring, orange plays well with many other colors, so add a bit of zip to your decorating palette with this vibrant hue.

All Orange

1. If you love all things orange, consider decorating your entire room in this happy color. By keeping the walls muted to a soft shade of peach and floors in a neutral tone of hardwood, tile or carpet, the color won't overwhelm the space. Keep the feeling casual with earthy tones of pumpkin, burnt orange or yellow-orange furnishings and rugs, or go vibrant and contemporary with bright shades of tangerine or reddish-orange. Avoid monotony by applying touches of metal trim, wood, leather or wicker for texture and interest.

Neutrals

1. Too much orange can monopolize your room, but if you counterbalance the space with neutrals, the look achieves harmony. Set off burnt orange walls with furnishings and flooring in a range of browns from light to dark. Bright orange furnishings and window coverings are exciting, but not overly stimulating against creamy white or sandy tan walls. Pair pure tones of bright orange with soft gray for a sophisticated look, or add zest to the traditional style of black and white decor with marigold.

Brights

1. Light your decorating palette on fire by mixing pure tones of orange with other brights. To prevent cacophony, keep one major element in the space a light neutral tone. White walls, tan carpet or light brown or gray furnishings keep the intensity in check. For a summery palette with the feel of a fiesta, pair orange with red and yellow. Mix orange with vibrant shades of green, blue or purple for the ultimate in high-contrast decorating. Orange and pink has retro flair that brings fun into a girl's room.

Rustic

1. If you love orange, but prefer a more casual, rustic style, look to the palettes of the Mediterranean decorating styles. Orange stays cheerful -- but controlled -- when burnt or pumpkin shades combine with mustard yellow, gold, olive green, brown or weathered gray. Wash the walls in a peachy shade of orange glazed with gold for a textured, aged look. Choose wood furniture with touches of metal trim or neutral, leather upholstery. Cover tile or wood floors with area rugs combining harvest hues of orange with other autumn tones like burnt red, golden yellow, straw and deep green.

   An inherently happy and uplifting color, orange is a hue that should be used more often in home decor. A shade that can be both contemporary and rustic, orange has a reputation for being a difficult color to decorate with, but that doesn't have to be the case. From burnt orange to bold tangerine, there are endless ways to put the color to use around your home, from the bedroom to the bathroom or kitchen. If you've shied away from orange in the past because you don't know what to pair it with, check out these inspiring ideas.
