Colours that combine tones of orange and brown are always popular in interior design, particularly during the fall. Evoking falling leaves and sunsets, these rich hues are nostalgic, romantic and exotic. To highlight furniture or accessories that feature such earthy shades, get inspired by these suggestions.

Cool hues

To give your decor a fun and dynamic effect, add touches of cool colours amid the warm, earthy tones. Green plants, turquoise pillows, a purple rug — have fun creating eye-catching contrast.

Neutral tones

To enhance architectural or decorative elements with burnt earth tones, you can also use shades of white (cream, ivory), beige (sand) or grey (stone, steel) on the walls, curtains, floors or bedding. This type of palette creates an elegant, refined look.

Metallic notes

Is there anything more chic and timeless than a noble metal? To complement an earth-toned decor, opt for decorative objects (mirrors, tables, vases, lights, etc.) with a metallic finish. The best choices are:

  • Gold
  • Silver
  • Bronze
  • Copper
  • Brass

Rust, sienna, paprika, brick, cinnamon, terracotta — brownish orange shades match almost anything!
