Opposite each other on the color wheel, orange and blue are naturally complementary. But this fall I'm loving the freshness of inky navy paired with peppy orange. From deep and bright to soft and muted, check out some inspiring rooms and products to create the look!

Oh my! Wish I could afford that Branches rug. Who wants to buy me a present? ;-)
This is why I'm using so much blue in my knotty pine den. looks great with the orangey tones of the wood (and NO I won't paint it white!)
Go Broncos! This combo is hard to pull off in Colorado, because everyone will assume you're a Bronco fan.
Love it. I did my bedroom in slate and burnt orange about 5 years ago and I'm still not tired of the color combo. And I never like anything for that long.
Love blue & orange together...great pics!
My daughter's room is painted navy with lots of white and hot pink -- another great combination (especially, I guess, for a teenaged girl!). She and her friends love it!
Those are some very lovely oranges.
