fall into orange.

Orange has always been a tough color for me. I love the vibrant shades and contrast the color brings when paired with the right shades and tones. But when I think of orange and brown together, I immediately revert to the days of Halloween; pumpkins and scarecrows and candy corn [oh my!].

So is it possible to pair brown and orange together without making the palette so... Hallow?

Sarah Dennis, author of Toast and Tables, shows us how:

"For a warm and cozy look, pair rich orange elements and accessories with textiles
in varying shades of chocolate and espresso... A subtle range of nature infuses this scene with tranquility. Accent with elements from nature, such as pumpkins, to enhance the organic theme."

And she's so right. Judging by these pictures, I'd say orange and brown go swimmingly together. I think I've found my new favorite fall palette!

Thanks, Sarah!

Erin, thanks for sharing this color combination with your readers. When deciding on a color scheme for a fall table setting I love orange and brown. The two together are so warm and welcoming, which is feeling that I want to evoke when family and friends sit at my table during the Holidays.

I hope I've shed some light on how you can use orange on the table (even after Halloween)!

Cheers,
Sarah
