Orange wallpaper makes a bold statement. Certain retro looks depend on the color orange to create an authentic look. When looking for orange retro wallpaper consider bold floral designs that can turn an ordinary room into a super seventies style in no time flat.

The possible colors to pair with orange wallpaper are numerous depending on the overall look you are going for. Choosing a color on the opposite side of the color wheel is common, such as blue. Bright orange paired with bright blue is a good contrast. An artsy and more modern look can be achieved with lime green and purple, or hot pink and yellow.

Orange may seem to be a limiting color, but choosing an orange wallpaper border shows your personality in a way that taupe most likely will not.

The orange wallpaper border could easily be placed over a bright blue painted wall in a little boys hot wheel room or over a pink wall in a little girls bedroom. Change the shade of pink to a dark raspberry and the design changes to a teenage girl’s room.

Orange striped wallpaper hung in a kitchen with mushroom accents is a perfect throwback to the seventies. Although there are several other ways to use the background. A modern chrome and black kitchen gets a punch of color with orange kitchen wallpaper.

Orange shows up in many school color schemes; orange and brown, orange and maroon, orange and green. These colors can be used to show team spirit in a basement or den full of sports paraphernalia and trophies.

Sherbet is another place that orange is typically seen, the light pastels colors of orange, lime and strawberry can be an inspiration when deciding upon what to pair with your orange wallpaper. The soft colors contrasted with white can make a very relaxing color scheme for a sunroom, or bathroom.

Orange and black are seen a lot in Halloween decorations and will make a fun theme room. Choosing black accents against orange is a bold choice, not for the faint of heart!

Overall, orange wallpaper is a very good choice for anyone who loves color. The opportunities to make a statement are numerous and the color promotes feelings of happiness and fun.

For a different look, pairing orange wallpaper with gold accents gives a rich and clean feel. If it is done right it can really make a room shine.
