Do blue and orange go together?

Blue and orange are complementary colors, meaning they are opposite on the color wheel. This contrast creates a vibrant and visually appealing combination that can add a lot of energy and interest to any space.

Here’s how they work well together:

• Balance: The coolness of blue balances the warmth of orange, making the combination lively but not overwhelming.
• Versatility: Different shades of blue (like navy blue, royal blue, or sky blue) and orange (like burnt orange, peach, or coral) can be mixed and matched for various effects.
• Contrast: The high contrast between these colors can make design elements stand out and give a dynamic feel to the room.
• Accents: Use one color as the dominant hue and the other as an accent to avoid clashing and maintain harmony.

11 Ways to Decorate an Orange and Blue Living Room

Decorating with orange and blue can create a vibrant and dynamic living room. Here are some ideas to help you get started:

1

Balance the Colors

Use one color as the dominant shade and the other as an accent. For example, have an orange couch or a set of armchairs, and blue as a background color on walls or other large furniture.

2

Mix Textures

Incorporate different textures like velvet, linen, and leather accents in cushions, throws, and decor items to add depth and interest to your color scheme.

3

Neutral Base

Start with a neutral base, such as grey or white walls and flooring, to make the orange and blue pop without overwhelming the space.

4

Artwork

Use artwork that incorporates both orange and blue to tie the room together. Abstract prints or modern art can be particularly striking.

5

Pattern Play

Mix patterns like stripes, geometrics, or florals that feature both colors. This can be done through rugs, pillows, or upholstery.
