Interesting Color Combo

wilma — Sat, 26 Sep 2020 19:26:01 GMT

Do you like this color combo?

I wouldn’t think of combining blue, orange, and shades of brown & tan, but I think it looks good together. I like the furnishings & accessories too. Perhaps a few too many pillows? A bit picky, but the clock on the blue wall is hung a bit high and isn’t centered on that wall. That's the kind of thing that would bother me day after day. 🥴

Yes, I would definitely do this color scheme. Agree, too many pillows and don't care for the artwork but otherwise, I could live there!

@wilma I agree with the clock. Too high and off center. I think there is too much orange in the room...but that's just me.

Blue and orange do complement each other, but orange is not one of my favorites, so I tend to avoid. I don't really care for the blue and beige wall meeting each other.

But I could see that those who like the combo of colors could find it a cozy room.

What would bother me mightily, is the fact that the area rug is too small for the space. For an area rug to work with upholstered furniture, it is so much more pleasing if at least the front legs of the couch and chairs can rest on the rug. If the rug is too small, it looks forever 'skimpy' and not luxe.

I very much like the clean, unfussy lines of the furniture, though.

No. I'm not a fan of blue and orange. Reminds me of my high school's colors. Lol

I painted the accent wall in my bedroom turquoise, the color shown in your picture. The rest of the room I painted oat or sailcloth, an offwhite with a tint of beige, including the ceiling. I like ceilings to blend in with the walls.

Anyways, got a coverlet from Garnet Hill with those colors and pinky red, green, etc. My bedroom furniture is a pecan color. So it's sort of like your room sans the orange.

Not a fan. @wilma Not only would the clock drive me nuts but the art on the other wall would too. One picture is almost to the ceiling.

The clock should be removed --- and the wall left bare. Too many orange and small blue pillows. Remove the orange from the side chair. Replace the orange pillows on the couch with large tan pillows. I like the color scheme.

Less pillows and no rug for me.

I like the room and colors very much (surprisingly). I could do without the blue wall and would prefer them to all be the same color. And I agree about the clock. I couldn't stand that it's not centered!

I like it very much and could easily slide in and live there. Without the orange, it would be dull and ordinary. The orange brings life to the room. It reminds me of one of my favorite combos...turquoise and coral (a match made in heaven).

Oh brother... The color palette is the least of this room's problems... Looks like somebody cleaned out the attic and the garage to come up with this look... I don't have a problem with mixing these colors, had it been done competently, but this space is a mash-up... That 'art', the side chair, rug, and table decor are all just awful... In fact, other than maybe a few of the pillows, all of these elements should have been left curbside... No guarantees, but the sofa and tables might be salvageable along with a few of the pillows...

I don't mind the blue, orange and shades of tan together, looks of southwestern ...everything else in the room is a mismatch to me.

While I have certain taste I always enjoy seeing all designs because sometimes I do like what I normally wouldn't consider!!!! I do like the warmth of this area, it looks comfortable. I would put different art work on the walls and also a different couch. The color scheme seems to make it work!

I bought my orange rug online 4 years ago and made my accent colors the blue. The first pic is I just bought the rug and hadn't started decorating yet.

I have a different couch now but for some reason I wanted a light orange rug. I love the 2 colors together.

Last pic is starting to decorate for fall this week.
