We’re also using this picture as inspiration for a furniture makeover in the space:

I love the fresh feel of aqua paired with orange.  Although it can be a really playful color palette, it can also work in more sophisticated spaces.  Here’s a few great examples that I found:

  5. I'm enjoying the different patterns together, always have loved aqua. Only like light touches of orange in my spaces, like a bowl of oranges or copper in an accessory. Your photos highlight its fun and fresh potential.

  7. I automatically think of Toby Fairley's design when I see your color scheme. I know the room will come out beautifully. Looking forward to see the finished room.

    By the way, I am hosting an exciting giveaway and the lucky winner will get to receive a $75 gift card from Arcadian Lighting. Don't miss it. :)

  14. I love this colour combo and have been thinking quite a bit about it lately. I also think that throwing in a charcoal grey would be really elegant. Kind of pulling it away from the "I live at the beach" look it might take on sometimes.

  15. Love this color combo! I was just on kathysue's blog telling her that I'm using turquoise and green with pops of coral or orange!

    Happy that I'm seeing it pop up everywhere now! I guess I should get a move on it, huh?!

    Love your work!

  22. Emily I am sure your client will be delighted with your combination of colors and fabrics. I just did a post on the color mint and orange yesterday. I am seeing more and more of this combination being used. Beautiful complimentary color scheme. I am not an orange gal, but I can appreciate it when it is done well like this, Kathysue

  27. Marvelous mixture of aqua and orange colour, it is best for attraction. Well, any two colors opposite the color wheel always make each other look better. I like your arrangement and planing to do at my new home.
