Burnt orange is trending as the perfect high summer shade – here are 12 home decor pieces that prove it
Can't get enough of burnt orange decor right now? Neither can we! Our shopping editor rounds up the very best home decor in the perfectly seasonal shade
If there’s one color that perfectly encapsulates the end of summer, it’s burnt orange. I can’t help but envision the shade whenever I think of elongated sunsets, golden hour, and slowly drying sunflower fields (not to mention the fallen leaves and seasonal spices ahead to look forward to).
It seems that interiors experts and homeware brands alike can’t get enough of the color either! When browsing the best home decor stores, every other new-in piece seems to feature some variation of the earthy shade. And I can’t blame them really - whether you’re into neutral tones or brighter shades, it’s the perfect color to compliment any scheme, and to top it all off it symbolizes the turn of the season too! I’ve rounded up the best burnt orange home decor to see your space seamlessly through the end of summer to early fall.

WHICH COLORS SUIT BURNT ORANGE DECOR?
When it comes to colorschemes that best compliment burnt orange home accessories, neutral shades would be the natural choice. From beiges and creams to off white tones, they allow the rustic charm of terracotta-toned pieces to really stand out and come to life. Golden tones – whether a flat matte warm shade or metallic gold and brass accents – also pair well with deep orange shades. This pairing reminds me of the shift between golden hour and sunset, so it’ll make a beautiful addition to your decor.
Earthy tones also compliment burnt orange beautifully. Olive green and chocolate brown make a particularly effective pairing, keeping in tone with the warm, rustic feel of burnt orange. And if you prefer more statement color combinations you can juxtapose the orange shades of your chosen home accessories with bright blue accents – this will offer a striking contrast against the muted, earthy tone of the orange.
