My orange conversion

Posted in orange

I bought an orange vase last week. That might not amaze you but for me it was a big step, given that a couple of years ago if you had asked me my least favourite colour I would have said yellow or orange. I still can’t wear them, but I have grown to love them in decorating. btw I’m desperate to use these fabrics (above) together!

That’s a strong shade of orange for a bedroom (above)! But it’s relieved by all the white and the orange leopard print. Love the details: white trim on the bedskirt, orange detail on the bed linen.

I like these two shades of orange together (above); the red orange of Chiang Mai lacquer paired with a lighter more yellow orange. So much more interesting than matchy-matchy.

I think of this as a ‘Palm Beach’ look (above). That orange and blue topical wallpaper is fab!

Orange in a more classic setting (above).

I’m a sucker for the odd painted piece of old furniture for that pop of bright colour! Such an easy thing to do at home and swap it around if you get sick of it. Orange looks great here against a black and white backdrop.

    I love orange - both to wear and to use in my home. I agree we see it everywhere these days. Love it with turquoise but also love the orange paired with orange as in your chiang mai dragon pic! Thanks for sharing, inspirational once again xx

    Orange (& red) seem to be featuring more and more in our home………….. some fashions just sneak up on me and before I know it, I’m hooked. Though I’ve never really been an orange hater… :) Love the fabric on the bedhead top pick…….. I am so happy that I’ve found you as my source! :)
