Blue And Orange Rug
When it comes to selecting a colour palette for your home's decor, one of the more daring options is orange. That's why decorating around a blue and orange rug can seem so difficult. Whether you chose the carpet to make a statement or are stuck with it by default, there are numerous ways to make its orange hues work in your room. The key is to decide whether you want to emphasize or detract from the bold colour.
When you want to balance the look of a bright blue and orange rug, surround it with neutral tones. A wall colour that is similar in depth to the orange shade of the carpet softens the look of the blue and orange rug. If your rug is a bright tangerine or rich terra cotta, choose a deeper neutral like tan or grey for the walls. Dark neutrals like brown, charcoal, or black can be used for furniture and accessories to add depth while keeping the overall look of the room low-key.
A blue and orange rug is the perfect centrepiece for a striking room design. To really add drama to the space, create a strong contrast with the warm tones of the rug. Blue is the colour opposite orange on the colour wheel, so it's an obvious choice for the walls. When decorating a small space, choose a light blue such as sky or robin's egg. In a larger room, a deeper colour like blue grey, cobalt, or navy may be preferred. Use a cool-toned green, such as sage, to contrast with your blue and orange rug. If you want a warm, bold look, pair your living room rug with a warm shade that is not in the orange family and varies in depth. Pair a light pink rug with wine-coloured walls, or a terracotta carpet with butter-coloured walls. If your room is too busy, neutrals like white, tan, and brown can help tone it down.
Use your orange rug as the foundation for a monochromatic look for a simple, striking look. Surround it with other orange hues to create a warm but contemporary look for your room. Create a contrast between the walls and carpet to add depth to the design by pairing a light and a dark orange shade. Incorporate soft orange shades like peach, muted shades like terra cotta or burnt orange, and vibrant options like tangerine to add dimension to the design. If a room full of only orange is too much, add neutrals like white and brown to balance the look. To make a colourful statement, add a few small accents such as blue throw pillows or lemon candlesticks.
When your blue and orange rug appears to be nothing more than an eyesore and you don't have the funds to replace it, an area rug could be your best friend. Blue and orange rugs are available in a variety of sizes, so depending on the size of your room, you may be able to find one that covers the majority of the carpet. Furniture such as bookcases and cabinets can help cover some of the exposed areas and tone down the orange. When looking for an orange and blue rug, look for one with no more than two colours, one of which is neutral. When your orange rug has a busier design, it may appear that you're ignoring the orange rather than toning it down. An orange rug, a brown and cream rug, or a gold and tan rug are all appealing choices. So get your hands on these now and spruce up your decor.
