Orange: from Bright to Warm And Cozy

Alyssa Hawkins

The time for beach vacations and warm sunny weather has come and gone. Comfy sweaters have hit the racks and a bowl of hot, steamy soup is starting to look more and more appetizing. Fall is here and orange hues from rich auburn-colored leaves to whimsical carved pumpkins begin to steal the spotlight.

Why not take a cue from nature and infuse your home with wall and floor surfaces, accent pieces, and furniture shaded in this bright, yet cozy tone? Here are some fun and unexpected ways to add and pair the season’s most natural hue to/with your decor.

Home Accents:

Bright pillows with bold prints add style and comfort to any sitting area.

Finding orange accent pieces of the same hue can be challenging. Mix various shades of orange to create a more modern look.
