Fabulous flooring

Nothing ties a room together or defines a living space like an oversized rug. Bring a bit of colour underfoot with an orange rug, opting for a muted version for a traditional space and a bright and boldly patterned rug  for a more modern home.

Easy accents

If you’re not ready to commit to orange as a main colourway in your space, introduce it into your decorating scheme with a few small accessories that can easily be traded out. Whether it’s a throw blanket, a framed illustration or a faux flower, orange decorating accessories are easy-to-add accents that won’t break the bank if you change your mind on the colour.
