Nature Scene

To copy this look, give a tired chair an instant facelift by recovering it in trendy, colorful fabric. A mix of earthy greens, warm reds and of course, marigold, utilizes the best hues nature has to offer.

Go All Out

Are you marigold crazy? Think outside the subtle accent color and give your bedroom a marigold makeover. Here, a lovely yellow wall and throw are kept in check by subtle patterns and coordinating neutrals.

Eclectic Extras

Feminine, fun and perfectly balanced between trendy and traditional, this colorful bedroom uses marigold to create a cheerful spot that is still calm and relaxing.

A More Mature Marigold

Super Quick Switch
