Colour Trend - Blood Orange

Sunset tones don’t have to be reserved for the summer season as they can work equally well in creating a warm autumn atmosphere in your home interior. A rich BLOOD ORANGE colours scheme embodies the changing colour of the autumn foliage. This rich orange hue will look great with a neutral, earthen or co-ordinating fruity backdrop to create a splash of colour within your home.

Blood orange works extremely well with soft cream, beige and biscuit tones to create a light yet cosy feel within your chosen room. For a more rich and autumnal feel then why not team blood orange with seasonal mustard, terracotta and taupe hues or tonal greys that will provide a stylish designer feel in your home. If you prefer a more sleek and modern feel then add a pop of blood orange to a minimal monochrome interior and add bold striped or geometric print wallpaper for a crisp and sophisticated finish. Missing that tropical summer sunshine? Well keep it going all year round by partnering blood orange with peach, melon and mint hues and add some palm print wallpaper for a bit of retro fun.

If you are not looking to overhaul the entire decor of the room you can use your soft furnishings to introduce an accent colour into your chosen room. This can be more cost effective and also allows you to change your colour scheme as and when you please. A bold set of blood orange curtains are a great way of updating an otherwise neutral space and make a great alternative to a painted feature wall. Update a leather or upholstered sofa will an array of blood orange cushions to create a focal point in your living room interior. Simple geometric patterns will suit a modern room or if you prefer an eastern style design, add some Moroccan style cushions with beads, embroidery and tassels that will add warmth and luxury to the room.  Opt for a bold blood orange rug for a central area of colour within your room or compliment your cushions or curtains with a chocolate or cream shag pile rug that is set to be another of this season’s hottest trends.

This versatile colour scheme can be paired with a wide variety of furniture options depending on the look and style of your chosen room. Solid oak furniture will complement the autumnal feel of this colour scheme and will create a cosy and welcoming ambiance in any interior space. Cream painted furniture will create a sense of space and light in smaller rooms of the home but also retains a cosy and inviting feel that counteracts the boldness of the orange backdrop. If you wish to create a more sleek and contemporary look in your home then opt for some white high gloss furniture that will provide your room with a crisp designer feel with a statement pop of colour.
