Orange Sofa Room Ideas

Orange sofas are a surprisingly versatile and easy colour to decorate around. From bold, citrusy tones to deeper, burnt orange or warm ochre, there are plenty of different ways to bring orange into your colour scheme.

Whatever you choose, orange is a warm and inviting colour that catches the eye and enhances other colours around it. Given its association with happiness, sunshine and enjoyment, and the fact it is often considered a lucky colour, it’s no wonder orange sofas and other furniture are such a popular choice.

Orange Leather Sofas

Orange is a great choice for leather; just a step away from the traditional brown, but a bit more lively and interesting. Dark, burnt orange shades can work brilliantly in soft aniline leather on classic sofa styles like a chesterfield. Alternatively, treated leathers with their slightly shinier surface can look fantastic in bright, bold oranges. These are also less prone to damage or fading, so will continue to be an eye-catching centrepiece to your living room for years to come. Consider more modern, sleek 2 or 3 seat sofa designs for these shades.

Orange Fabric Sofas

For even more variety of colours, shades and tones, consider an orange fabric sofa. Soft and cosy, they are a great addition to any room and the perfect base for a lively and vibrant colour scheme. You could consider a deep, comfortable sofa with soft wool fabric in burnt orange, or a bright orange modern sofa, all sleek lines and square corners.

Alternatively, an orange velvet sofa is a fantastic choice. The comfortable, light-absorbing pile of velvet is a perfect medium for a rich, warm colour like orange, and has a kind of timeless sophistication that works in all sorts of homes.

Cushions for an Orange Sofa

The complementary colour for orange, and a classic accompaniment for orange furniture, is blue. Sky blue works well with bright orange, while teal or aqua can work better with darker or burnt orange. Either way this creates a pleasing visual effect that is bright and eye-catching without being overpowering.

Alternatively, for something a bit more jazzy, orange goes surprisingly well with pink, especially in small quantities like a couple of cushions or a discrete throw. A bright, citrusy orange can also go well with lemon-yellow and lime-green, for a fresh and vibrant effect.

Finally, for a more muted effect, especially with darker orange, try a mid-brown, or brown and cream patterned cushions.

Orange Throws and Cushions

Not everyone wants an orange sofa of course, but orange is still a fantastic colour to introduce into your living space for all of the reasons given above. If you just want splashes of it, try a few orange scatter cushions or a throw. As mentioned above, these will of course go especially well with light blue, teal or aqua sofas, but can also work on grey, black, white or even some shades of brown. That makes orange an enormously versatile and flexible way to add a bit of vibrancy to your interior decoration.
