Garnished Bar

We love using citrus to add flavor to our cocktails, why not use it to add flavor to the bar itself? Join us in obsessing over this modern libation station that celebrates citrus with colorful wallpaper.

Blood Orange Accents

Orange comes in a wide range of shades, and this living space proves that a deep, blood orange is as invigorating as its sprightly, bright-orange counterpart. Soft, neutral shades are used on the walls and sofa, while rich, royal blue and blood orange accents add excitement to the space.

Electric Entry Table

This striking, lime-green buffet table offers guests a high-impact "Hello!" in this eclectic foyer. The table is outfitted with a pair of inky black lamps, curated books and fresh flowers to create a chic and vivacious vignette.

Less is More

A single, orange painting proves that subtlety will always be en vogue in this contemporary, airy kitchen. Using the vibrant hue sparingly in this space allows for the bright white marble and sleek wood cabinets to take center stage. Result? Effortless and chic.

Better Together

We’re smitten with the way these bright citrus furnishings pair together and stand out against this white-on-white, transitional living room. It's apparent that teamwork makes the dream work in the case of these soft, lime armchairs and orange throw pillows.

Glam Grapefruit Sofa

Who wouldn’t want to take a load off on this smart, grapefruit-colored sofa? This seater is a total standout against the all-white walls, and it certainly gifts the space with a cheery, youthful energy.

Juicy Conversation Spot

Just think of the juicy gossip waiting to be swapped from the comfort of this contemporary sitting area! A pair of upholstered, orange arm chairs achieve balance and symmetry in the space. (And we must say, they look so good doing it.)

Light Up the Room

Bright, yellow lantern-style pendant lights work hand-in-hand with mint-colored chairs and watermelon place settings to create a swoon-worthy summer color scheme.

Sunny Spot

The bright, yellow armchair infuses this living room with cheery personality. Talk about a top-notch spot to read and relax throughout the day, eh?

Sophisticated Citrus

Vibrant and youthful though it may be, orange can be toned down to create truly timeless spaces. Case in point: this elegant and expansive family room with a rich, orange chaise and matching throw pillows. Sublime.

From: Amy Zolin

Lovely Lime

A proper mix of masculine and feminine elements never disappoints, and this eclectic living room more than lives up to our expectations. A pile of pretty, lime-green throw pillows breathes new life into this classic, black leather chesterfield sofa.

Shocking Seats

What’s black, white and yellow all over? Oh, you know, just the most shocking and stylish kitchen we’ve ever encountered! The lemon-lacquered chairs provide punchy contrast against the sleek, black-and-white kitchen for a design worth celebrating.

Health Benefits

What if we told you that simply standing in this home gym would automatically give you your daily, recommended dose of Vitamin C? Well, we’d be lying, but come on —how cool is this orange-and-white, striped wall?! All vitamins aside, this high-energy hue is sure to inspire a workout or two, and that must count for something.

Sprightly Space

A bright yellow front door welcomes guests in a playful way, sure to inspire joy. Another reason to adore this door? The yellow sets the tone for the whimsical colors and patterns throughout the entire home, highlighting the owners' personalities and style immediately as guests enter the home.
