Unexpected Shades of Orange Living Room Décor

If you want to tip your toe into the orange pool but you’re not sold on a true, sunshine-y orange, try something equally retro but slightly softer than traditional orange. A pink-toned coral is the perfect twist on a typical orange hue. Combine coral with other warm tones like yellow, cream, and ivory. 2022 is all about exploring monochromatic themes, so you don’t need to worry about balancing cool and warm colors in your living room if you don’t want to! While orange can also pair beautifully with cool neutrals, it can also complement similarly warm tones like gold and bronze.

Expert Décor Tips

ElephantStock's interior design expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz shares her tips for creating a contemporary living room with orange:

“The best way to incorporate a vibrant accent color is through elements that can be easily changed, so that you can start experimenting with color and get a sense of what you like. For example, play around with decorative textiles, cushions, blankets and rugs. Other pieces that could also be included would be an orange accent chair or an abstract painting with orange details.

Since the color orange is quite versatile, you can play with its different tones and create a palette that scales harmoniously without clashing with your existing décor. It especially blends well with a neutral color palette! Playing with texture is also important, so try fun fabrics like velvet or angora.

For a super trendy color combo, try orange and pink! Below are a few of my favorite shades to mix with orange:

Brown + Orange - For an elegant, timeless space

Blue + Orange - For a warm and playful interior.

Gray + Orange – For a sophisticated space.

White + Orange – For a fresh and energetic home.

Pink + Orange – For a trendy and modern aesthetic.

Purple + Orange – For a vibrant and stylish living room."
