Yesterday as I was sitting in my garden I was thinking about how lovely my orange tiger lilies are. They’re mixed in with red and pink roses, purple coneflower, and a few weeds because I’m lazy. But the orange stands out so much it made me think about how in a room, one color can be used as an accent that really makes the whole room light up. So, in honor of tiger lilies, we’re posting some great pictures of rooms with orange as an accent color.
While some of you may not even like the color orange, I bet you’ll be surprised at how great it looks when used correctly. Enjoy!
This room from Apartment Therapy uses a pastel orange and it really works great with the pale lavender. The puppy approved:
Another great room by Apartment Therapy uses an orange art deco chair to add color:
Ohdeedoh knows that orange and blue (and green) are huge trends in baby rooms right now. This room looks fun and clean…until you place a baby in the room, then it’s just fun:
I would have never thought to paint a front door orange but with the deep gray bricks and the bright white trim, it really works:
Here’s a great idea from The Kitchen Designer. The orange seat cushions blend nicely with the blinds and the wood tones in the room:
In this kitchen by Patricia Gray, orange paint is used beneath a glass backsplash for a bright and clean look. It really brings out the wood tones in the cabinets:
Using darker shades in a bedroom makes it feel cozy. Check out those high ceilings! Thanks to Habitually Chic for this great find:
Another cute baby room, another happy baby. We found this one at Ohdeedoh (they know baby rooms) and again we have the orange, green, and blue together:
These next two pictures are from Material Girls. What a great combination of colors! I love that they used zebra print with orange:
And while this color looks great in this entryway, what I like best about this room is how they’ve painted the angles black as well…it looks like one giant picture frame. Very cool:
This cute room by Design Sponge would be a great idea for a teen or a child. I also like the way they’ve framed fabric over the bed. That can be changed out easily:
It looks like a little girl’s bathroom but I’d take it! Thanks to 6th Street Design School:
These two rooms from Apartment Therapy show how you can use pink and orange together:
The cut-out wall is just plain cool:
Another hip kitchen by Van Patterson Design. All you need is some cool chairs, a few antlers, and you’ve got a great room for entertaining:
