Why it works: Vivid, vivacious cyclamen teamed with zesty tangerine brings an exuberant, youthful zing to just about any room (though it's especially fun in a kitschy kitchen or a girlie bedroom). Alone or together, these color-wheel neighbors just say "happy." (For more on color theory and tips on combining colors, read "Picking Can't-Miss Color Pairs.")

Variation: Orange and red.

Easy idea: Wrap a plain white lampshade with striped or patterned pink-and-orange fabric, or top an orange ceramic lamp with a swath of deep pink Dupioni silk. "It's incredibly easy and inexpensive," Eckstut says. "Simply cut a piece of material to fit and adhere it to the lampshade with fabric glue." Finish the seam and edges with a band of ribbon, and voila!
