Sarasota's Design Trends

By staff November 1, 2006

Warm, rich and mellow enough to work as an accent or a neutral, burnt orange is this season’s hot decorating hue. Both exotic and grounded in nature, burnt orange is reminiscent of desert sands at dusk, a lingering island sunset or a primitive tribal painting. It’s hip, eye-catching and laid-back all at the same time. Check out these ways to add a tint of burnt orange—or a related hue—to your home.
