There’s something about burnt orange that’s having a serious moment right now. Maybe it’s the way it brings warmth without feeling stuffy, or how it pairs surprisingly well with everything from cool neutrals to rich jewel tones. Either way, it’s been showing up everywhere lately even in my own living room Pinterest board that’s spiraled way out of control.

If you've been circling the idea of adding burnt orange to your space but aren’t quite sure how far to go (full couch? just throw pillows?), I’ve rounded up 35 real-life living room ideas that can help you land on your style sweet spot. These aren’t just generic setups. They’re cozy, modern, thoughtful spaces that use burnt orange in all the right ways.

Honestly, the inspiration came after a friend of mine bought a burnt orange velvet chair on a whim and texted me, “I think I made a mistake.” She didn’t. It ended up being the best thing in her space. Sometimes all it takes is one bold piece to shift the whole mood of a room, and burnt orange does exactly that. So if you’re in the mood to warm things up, you're in the right place.
