Not for the faint-hearted, orange is definitely a bold choice of paint colour. But, if you get it right, you can transform a space into one that is warm and full of life. 

Experimenting with orange paint is a fun journey. There are so many tones and variations to capture your imagination, and so many ways to style it to suit each room in your home. 

In this article we will take a dive into different orange paint ideas for each room in your home - from orange living room paint to orange kitchen paint, and orange bathroom paint ideas too. Hopefully, we will leave you feeling inspired and ready to embrace the orange paint trend whole-heartedly! 

Orange Living Room Ideas

Bright orange is often linked to Mediterranean décor and is great for achieving a warm, holiday-inspired living space. If you love spending time abroad and exploring foreign climates, then introducing orange into your lounge area will mean you never feel far from adventure.  

Orange paint works well on a feature wall in a living room and is equally as effective in a smaller or larger space. Placing your feature wall close to a window or area with natural light will help to make the area feel bright and airy, and further enhance that Med vibe. 

You can scale back the brightness of an orange wall paint with fresh whites and natural textures of bamboo and wicker. Dark greys, browns and taupe also blend really well with varying shades of orange to complete a rustic, yet contemporary feel.

Orange Hallway Ideas

Playing around with orange in your hallway can be lots of fun if you are not afraid to step outside the box! 

Wall paint doesn’t always need to fill the whole space, and this is an especially useful concept to consider when using orange paints. You could experiment with wall colour patterns and shapes if you want to create some visual art, and even better, you could use this space to showcase a gallery of artworks or imagery to bring out your personality even further. 

Painting furniture and radiator protectors is another creative way to add colour to a hallway or entrance space. Don’t be afraid to test out clashing colours and brights in this area as a symbol of your more daring side.

Orange Bedroom Ideas

Orange doesn't have to be bright and garish. It can also be subtle and soft. And, in a bedroom setting, this is just what you need. 

Warmer orange shades that air on the edge of brown can look beautiful in a bedroom when paired with soft pinks, cream, and shades of white. As do very soft shades of apricot and peach. 

Orange bedroom paint can be experiential as well - you don’t have to be limited to full walls or ceilings. Why not paint yourself a dark orange headboard instead of a physical one? Or paint your bedside tables in a soft blush orange to compliment your cosy linen bedsheets.

Orange Kitchen Paint Ideas

Whether you are looking to achieve an ultra-modern kitchen, or one that’s more traditional and relaxed, there is always room for orange paint in your colour scheme. 

A pale, salmon shade would be a lovely addition to a country chic kitchen with lots of natural wood and floral pattern, where as a rainbow bright, such as this Sunset Bellini shade adds a totally tropical feel – especially in combination with these large leafy graphics! 

Orange is also a great colour to reflect nature and plant life. Autumnal leaves, ripe pumpkins, and juicy mandarins are all inspirations to use when planning your orange kitchen ideas and using alongside shades of green and brown will further accentuate this nod to nature.

Orange Feature Wall Ideas

Whether you are decorating a tiny alcove or larger surface area, an orange feature wall will certainly make a pop in your living space. A feature wall gives you the opportunity to try out a bolder shade than you would usually go for – confining it to a smaller space that isn’t too encroaching or vast. 

Shades of orange will make whatever you hang on your wall really stand out. You might want your feature wall to be home to a gallery of art, mirrors, photos, or stencils. Or perhaps it will be a place to hang your guitar, personal awards, or even your bike. Whatever you want your feature wall to be – just be sure to make it that – a real feature! 

Set your feature wall against neighbouring walls of fresh white for a crisp contrast or create more of a blend with warmer tones of cream or beige.

Orange Feature Wall Ideas

Orange paint can be combined with a number of different colours to create a whole range of different looks. 

It could form part of a warm, autumnal palette alongside cream, dark green, pinks and browns, or pop out in rainbow attitude next to bold yellows, blues, and purples. 

If you want to dilute the intensity of your orange paint, pair it with varying shades of white, and accessories with a mood board of natural materials such as wood, bamboo and stone.
