Orange is a fairly underused colour when it comes to interior design. However, if you're eager to create a modern space that's full of energy, an orange palette is the perfect pick.
Fresh, vibrant and full of life, an office decked out in orange paint will kick-start any working day in style. An orange palette will add warmth to your workspace, making it a good shout for those dreary winter days and rooms that aren't exposed to much sunlight.
Any contemporary home office is calling out for a splash of orange paint. However, even stripped-back spaces can benefit from this dynamic palette. Use orange hues to create an eye-catching accent wall or use several shades if you're eager to embrace tonal decorating.
Looking for inspiring orange paint colours to transform a spare room into a standout home office? Our range is stocked with some of the finest shades around.
Why Choose Orange Paint for Your Home Office?
If you're looking to breathe life into a home office, orange walls are the way to go. You can keep things muted with subtle hues or mix things up with bright tangerines.
Even the most vibrant orange paint can is easy to decorate with, with no shortage of colour pairing options for you to choose from. In a pinch, stick to white for a complementary colour that won't disappoint. Orange also works nicely with other zesty shades like yellow.
Just about every shade of orange can be used to create a stunning contrast in a home office. If you're using orange as your key shade, head on over to the opposite side of the colour wheel and use blue when adding accents to your space. Navy accessories and blue-infused office furniture will all look sensational against an orange backdrop.
