Orange pairs well in ethic décor supporting the warmth and texture of rich woods and luxe fabrics. Use the pop of orange in contemporay décor for high energy and contrast. Orange, in any flavor, strikes perfect harmony as an accent color in decorative pillows and fabrics. It also evokes a power play when featured as a wall or ceiling color.

I love orange & turqoise together; what a beautiful combination. The orange “front door” is so fresh as well–an update of the red front doors of yesteryear!
