Tangerine-Orange Makeover

Looking for color to spice things up? Then go with citrus hues. This room's display of warm tones makes it feel as festive as a fruit basket. Shades of tangerine, lemon, lime, and coconut brown are pulled in from the focal point of the room -- the painting.

Old furniture pieces take on renewed looks when paired with this tropical palette. Interesting textures -- from silk and kilim to sea grass and bamboo insert their own flair into this fun makeover.

Color Tip:

Without a doubt, the showstopper for a tangerine-orange room is the vibrant wall color. When walls command so much attention, a room's other elements -- pillows, slipcovers, lamps, flooring, and accessories -- should be simple and uncluttered.
