Complementary hues of tangerine and aqua merge in this bright coastal living room. A soft blue area rug grounds the space, and a beige sofa provides relaxed seating.

Orange and aqua drapery was the starting point in this eye-catching transitional living space. The client requested a room in her “happy colors,” and her favorites of soft aqua and bold tangerine proved perfect when paired with sandy neutrals.

The homeowner's favorite hues inspired this living room, expressly designed to make people smile. Pale aqua walls encourage relaxation while bold orange accents are energizing, resulting in a yin and yang that's ideal for the creative, color-loving homeowner. The beige sectional offers ample seating for guests.
