Left to my own devices I would choose orange as either an accent or a main colour in decorating a home. I am happy to see bits of orange in artwork, but that's as exciting as I can get about it. To give orange a chance I decided to explore how others have used it to create stimulating decors. Of course, no matter what you do with orange it will be vibrant and commanding. It is not a sit back colour! I find that people who love orange have personalities very like the colour.
Just a little does the trick to liven up this very neutral space.

This is a funky colour on a very traditional piece of furniture but it works for me. Accent pieces should have some energy to them.

Purple and orange make a striking combination which works very well especially for a child's room.

Take your cue from artwork when you want to add an accent colour in your decor.

if you love orange just a little bit, let it perform its magic in an artwork as it does in my dining room .
