It’s almost December and soon the warm and lovely colors of Fall will give way to the reds, greens, golds, silvers and whites of the Holiday Season. So today I wanted to pay homage to orange, burnt orange and russet hues. They are among my favorites to use because they seem to go with just about every color and they can warm up a room instantly.

I love the colors in this bedroom! It’s giving me more ideas for my own Master Bedroom. The rich and vibrant wall color enlivens but doesn’t dominate the scene because of the gorgeous Chinoiserie panels, the white bedspread and tufted nailhead headboard and the light draperies and distressed door on the sides. Love those ikat pillows on the bed!

How appropriate is using orange in an “Orangerie?” From the toile fabrics to the orange drapery fabric and the accent wall color – I don’t think I could have thought about another color to use in this beautiful space. For those who don’t know what an “Orangerie” is.. it’s like a sunroom, conservatory, 4 season room – a space with a lot of windows/glass – originally named for a place that could be used to grow oranges and other fruits in colder climates.! We almost did one in our house – but decided that something with actual sheetrocked walls made better sense. I don’t know about that now – this room makes me yearn for my old decision to wall a room in glass!

If you are not quite ready for the boldness of an entirely orange room, use it in your artwork, decorative pillows and other accents in the room. Celerie Kemble did that beautifully in this living room.
Hope that you loved this little orange color visit! How have you used orange in your rooms? Let me know. I welcome all of your comments! You may also want to see other Color Roundups, featuring other hues. Check out my special Column on this!
