Effortless Colour Pairings That Work Every Autumn

The official start of autumn is just around the corner (22nd of September), and with it comes the perfect excuse to bring a little more warmth into our homes. One colour that never fails to capture the season? Burnt orange. Rich, earthy and full of character, it’s a shade that instantly makes a space feel cosy and inviting.

But what works well alongside it? The answer is plenty.

Pair burnt orange with soft neutrals like cream, taupe or warm beige for a calm and balanced look. If you prefer to layer, try adding other warm tones such as mustard, rust or terracotta perfect for creating depth and texture. For contrast, burnt orange also shines next to cooler shades like navy and forest green - you can achieve every one of these combinations within our fabric range.

Our favourite burnt oranges? Brushed cotton in Hippie Shake, Pure linen in Rusty bucket and Sussex Sunset. 

We love using burnt orange as an accent. It’s a shade that instantly warms up a room and, because it’s so versatile, it’s easy to switch out as the seasons change. Think cushions, lamps, throws, or even books - the options are endless.

One space where burnt orange really shines is in the bathroom. A splash of this rich, warm tone can transform an often-overlooked room into one of your favourites. Try colour drenching the walls with paint from Lick, adding a statement blind from Pleat, or playing with bold tiles from the Baked Tile Co to create a space that feels both fun and inviting

Whether you lean into earthy tones or play with contrasts, burnt orange is the perfect anchor for a palette that feels both stylish and seasonal.
