Left to my own devices I would choose orange as either an accent or a main colour in decorating a home. I am happy to see bits of orange in artwork, but that's as exciting as I can get about it. To give orange a chance I decided to explore how others have used it to create stimulating decors. Of course, no matter what you do with orange it will be vibrant and commanding. It is not a sit back colour! I find that people who love orange have personalities very like the colour.
An orange sofa begs to be noticed. For most people furniture is a big ticket item, and cautiousness is often the ruling factor when purchasing because you don't want to tire of it quickly. I love the freshness of this room because it reminds me of eating melon on a tropical island.
Is the wallpaper the accent wall or is it the orange wall? Circles and orange is about as energetic as you can get. I love circular motifs. How many circles are too many for you?
I like the way orange looks with gray. But then again, I love gray with anything. You better love orange if you decide to put it on your cabinets.

This is a funky colour on a very traditional piece of furniture but it works for me. Accent pieces should have some energy to them.

Purple and orange make a striking combination which works very well especially for a child's room.
