Looking to spice up your home this fall? Orange is the perfect accent color! Orange comes in a variety of shades and tends to be a contemporary, fun and warm color. How to get started decorating with orange? Avoid lighter, less saturated tones, which may look chalky. When painting with orange, a matte or eggshell paint sheen works better for an interior.
Want a more dramatic look? Paint only one wall or an alcove in the bold color and repeat the orange color in the room with home accents, furniture pieces or accessories.
The color works beautifully with earth tones and neutrals such as taupes, beiges and grays. You can also pair it with blue for a sophisticated look. Want to be a bit more bold? Orange looks fabulous with pink, especially in a girl's room!

XO,
Most Sundays, once the house has gone quiet and it's edging towards nine, a letter goes out. It's the one I'd write to a friend with good taste and not nearly enough time: one thing worth reading, one thing worth buying, and one thing to skip. No noise, no pressure to spend, just the considered version of what I've actually been using, loving, or quietly sending back.
If you like the sort of recommendation that still holds up six months later, leave your email below and I'll write to you on Sunday.
