An Orange, Brown, & Tan Dining Room Mood Board
Fall is in the air, which is likely what inspired us to toss together this warm and texture-rich dining room mood board:
1. We enjoy this warm, spicy color scheme full of rich chocolate browns, chic oranges, soft olives, and a range of tan and creams tones along with hits of hammered gold. If you’d like to add another hue to the mix, moss or even lime green (like the color of the numbers in the mood board) can also be peppered in with a few accessories. And speaking of green, we’d enjoy to see the walls go a soft khaki olive color (Benjamin Moore’s Dune Grass) like the rectangle of hue behind the number 4 in the board above.
2. One of these sculptural orange lamps on either side of a buffet would add ambiance as well as a shot of interesting color and shape to the whole room- plus they are on clearance for simply $29.
3. This chunky and rich solid wood table from Ikea is a steal at simply $399 (it can seat 6-10 people thanks to two extension leaves).
4. This vivid hammered gold circle mirror is large (and on sale!). It will pair beautifully with the crisp hits of orange (gold and clementine look so strong together) so we picture it hanging above a buffet with those two orange lamps on either side of it.
5. These textured woven chairs will assist to create a pleasant layered look (as opposed to choosing chunky wood chairs that match the table). Plus we enjoy how the airy and delicate woven chairs play off of the hefty and solid table to create a pleasant unexpected but balanced effect.
6. These linen runners from World Market remind us of a cozy fall scarf, so we’d enjoy to see the orange one placed down the center of the table to break up all the wood and add a lively dose of color (which will tie into the lamps on the buffet and some plates and glasses that we will mention next).
7. Dinner with friends and family members would be lively served on mixed and matched plates and glasses in our color scheme. Like these patterned plates (on clearance for simply $1.95) and these Mad Men-ish modern glasses (for $3.95).
8. This olive toned zebra rug (nearly 50% off) is worldly and cool, plus at 8 x 10 it is easily big sufficient to be placed under a large table and still allow everyone to pull out their chairs without worrying about the back legs being off the carpet.
9. These cream curtains (on clearance) would add softness and even more texture- or anyone who loves a good Hands-on project could whip up some homemade curtains from drop cloths sold at Home Depot or Lowe’s to save some serious loot (simply google “drop cloth curtain” to find a bunch of online walkthroughs on the subject).
So there you have it. An orange spice dining room full of texture, shapes, materials, and layered and lovely interest. Anyone out there itching to add a little fall flavor to their dining room? Or use this palette in another room? Along with olive and lime green, do you have other accent colors that you enjoy to see with orange? Navy could be truly posh looking too. Oh the possibilities…
