There’s no better way to add a vibrant burst of energy and boldness with this sunny color, but decorating with orange isn’t always easy. If you are painting the room with orange, use simple furniture. Otherwise, using the color orange on fabrics, side chairs, window treatments or small upholstered pieces such a footstool can make a great focal point. You can add interest by using patterned fabrics such as stripes or geometric prints.
