Orange is an energetic colour with the warmth of red and the liveliness of yellow. Because of its reputation of being a dominant colour, it is underutilised in bedrooms. We’ll give you some inspiration for orange bedroom decor ideas.
But, if used properly with the right tones, it can really fit seamlessly with other colours. It can be the dominating colour or be a complement shade to other colours like white or cream.

Grey will balance out the orange while white will prevent the bedroom from looking too dull and dark. Contemporary or modern bedrooms can make excellent use of this combination.

Minimalist orange bedrooms
A minimalist bedroom can use soft orange tones to add a graceful and elegant aspect to it. As the English father of minimalism John Pawson said, “it is not so much empty as calm”. Pastel shades of orange can also be combined with beige and off whites for a serene environment.

Will orange and blue complement each other in bedroom decor?
Blue is the complement of orange. You can use vibrant orange with a dark blue upholstered bed for a bold look. Use elements like pillows, picture frames, accessories, beddings, curtains etc. to add them with neutrals or white.

Coral is another shade of orange which reduces stress. It has a feminine quality to it and a soothing feel. A wooden bed will amplify its tranquil nature.

Halloween themed bedroom ideas
We just can’t forget the spooky season when we are talking about orange & black. A cobweb pattern wallpaper with an orange iron bed is a great option.
A moodboard with halloween pieces can take the place of an art piece on the focus wall. For the true halloween spirit, use appropriately themed bedding!
Some candle and pumkin decor will round off the look.
