Orange is a great color both cause of its bold and cheerful look and cause it calls to mind feelings of excitement, enthusiasm, and warmth. It’s energetic, it’s the color of bright sunsets and fruits such as oranges and tangerines, so many people might associate the color with the beauty of a setting sun or the refreshing taste of citrus. Considering all this, I can’t name a better color for making an accent wall!
Styles And Color Schemes
Let’s start from the main point: what style can embrace an orange accent wall? Modern, which loves bold shades, contemporary that sometimes lacks such bright shades, rustic, which becomes even warmer and cozier with a bold touch of color, even Scandinavian, which is usually restraint but a bold touch of color refreshes it very well. Of course, you can experiment with orange shades to find a perfect one for your space, and I’m sure that many other styles can welcome an orange accent wall.
As for color schemes, these can be literally any! A neutral or moody color palette will play out in new shades with a fresh and juicy orange accent wall, while a bright space will look even brighter and more cheerful with an orange accent wall as an addition.

Orange Accent Walls
Though an orange accent wall is a very non-typical idea, you can make it even better with various materials to create it. Depending on the room, choose tiles (for a bathroom or a kitchen), wallpaper or wall panels (for any room including a kid’s space) or wood. Keep in mind that orange is a very bright color, so you should keep it away from those spaces where you want focus and concentration: home offices, kids’ study spaces and so on.
