How do I decorate an orange room?

[cujiine]

About two years ago I went ahead and painted two of my bedroom walls orange. It's a light pumpkin orange. When I decided to do it I didn't think about the fact that the only holiday it goes well with is Halloween and possibly Thanksgiving.

I really want to decorate my room for Christmas but Orange isn't traditionally a Christmas color. What can I do to make my room a tad bit more Christmasy?

All I can think of is a glass bowl of Christmas oranges on your dresser. I'll keep thinking.

How about greens, copper, cream and golds - Michaels has some absolutely beautiful poinsettias in those colors as I am sure other stores do - infact I got a garland from Family Dollar just the other day that would be beautiful in a room with orange walls - a wreath for the wall and then a clear dish with balls in those colors would be very pretty. I would stay away from the traditional Christmas red and green - hope this helps .....

Agreed that Gold would go great with Orange, here are a few humble suggestions from me.

If it's a Christmas decoration, it'll go with anything!! :)

I have orange and teal in my living room so that is what I used for a few years. Last year I used many different colors along with orange.

I think baubles and copper tones would go well. Have one 'feature object' on the wall that is large and striking.

I think evergreens and gold ornaments and ribbon would look good. Also, there are lots of shiny brown ornaments now. If you don't want it to be so elegant, use a woodland theme with lots of real or fake pinecones, walnuts, deer or moose, etc.

Thank you. None of those ornaments are mine. I was just posting ideas for an orange room.

They'll do fine for my house too even though I don't have an orange room :elf1:

Thank you everyone for the advice. I'm still working on decorating my room but I've got a small (fake) poinsettia. It's red with a gold shimmer on it and some other copper and gold colored stuff. I'm wondering if I should paint my room back to a more neutral color but that won't happen for a while.:santa1:

[cujiine]

So I put up the little fake tree in my room and used some old ornaments to decorate. It looks better with the lights off but it's still day time. When the sun goes down, I'll take another picture of it all lit up.

Well, see, your treetop star ties it all in! You don't have to paint your walls another color. :christmastree:

[blackdove]

Gold and silver trimmings on a white or even a black tree would look great!
