It's pumpkin season! I do love the time of year when a quick trip to the pumpkin patch (or Trader Joe's) provides all you need for an easy centerpiece or perfect porch decor.

This chandelier is actually as bright and sunny as it gets, but when paired with chalkboard paint, it's got a distinctly Halloween feel.

Orange and chocolate brown are classic fall and I especially like the way this white headboard lightens up the color combination.

A roaring fire is the perfect way to emphasize a great orange chair.

The warmth of this wall color and chair work beautifully with wood furniture.
I love this bright door. On a different house, say something white or pale blue it would look sunny, but it warms right up next to brick.

An orange fireplace - what could be more appropriate for fall?

Though this room's white keeps it bright overall, there's something distinctly autumnal about the modern orange rocker.

Like the room above, this space's bright white walls and natural light make it appropriate for all seasons. But I love the warm orange glow of the pendant and the rich color of the low-lying chair.

I love this sofa overall and I think it's accessorized nicely with the pillows and rug.

This is one of my all-time favorite Houzz photos. I love the chair, but I especially love the moody light and the way the orange works with the cloudy blue of the piece in the background.

I really like orange but rarely find ways to use in decor that I also like. I really like the fourth(?) picture with the white stucco and orange accents and the warm burnt orange wall, I may have to figure out which room in my house would be lovely in that orange.

My guest room is orange (the color is called yam) and it used to be my dining room. It works nicely as a guest room with wood furniture and white linens and a couple of green accents, but I really loved it as a dining room.
The low light of the chandelier made it glow and the color provided a surprisingly good backdrop for different linens. Because it did glow, it was almost a neutral. Not quite, but almost.

Too funny kit, I just started an orange ideabook today and then realized you had done one as well. It's just an orange kind of week!

Thanks to both of you for your ideabooks. Orange has long been one of my favorite colors too, and it shows up all over my house, though nowhere does it look as great as in any of the photos in your ideabooks!

Oh how I love the color orange and how it can be paired with just about any other color. Particularly like it with fuschia or navy blue.

very funny the orange door!

Love orange, since I chose this color for my room when I was a teenager and I have loved it ever since! Thanks for doing a post on this color. We've posted an orange faux linen on Casart coverings' Houzz but here it is again. Since this is self-adhesive, removable and reusable wallpaper, it can be used seasonally like slipcovers for your walls. So, when pumpkin time is over, you can change it out for another seasonal color if you wish or leave it all year round.

Orange is in my kitchen/great room -- I love it!

I just painted my craft/sewing room a bright reddish orange because of some past posts of yours. Stimulates the creative juices! I tacked on a pic of my fabrics I plan to put on chairs, pillows etc. Sorry the pics aren't better.

I love orange so much! I just did my little girl's room (age 2) with an orange wall (photo below). Our bedroom also has an orange accent wall. It's such a cheerful color and coordinates well with so many other colors. Great post!
Nyla Pinter says:
I prefer orange over red as an accent color and have it in my living room! My favorite is combining orange and gray as they play off each other extremely well!
Kit Pollard says:
Debbv - I'm so glad I was an inspiration! That's a great shade, too.
It's funny how many people can bond over a color!
