Keep reading below for a few of our favorite styling ideas that give the marigold color the spotlight.
How to Decorate With Marigold
Bring this brilliant shade of yellow-orange into your home with these marigold decoration ideas, tips, and tricks.
Play With Warm & Cool Tones
A neutral living room leaves room for editing your accent color choices whenever you like. Keep your color palette simple and clean with an accent color or two. We love how the pale blue and marigold pillows pop amongst the grays and beiges of this living room. Never underestimate the power of a colorful throw pillow or blanket in a neutral space. Choose a warm marigold shade that leans more orange in the summer months and swap it out with a more yellow shade in the chillier seasons for a cooler, moodier aesthetic.
Bedding and decor are great places for adding a pop of marigold color – they create a refreshing break from the rest of your bedroom while adding energy and warmth. Consider decorating your bedroom with marigold shams. We love the contrast created when the warm hued throws and lumbar pillow are styled with the blue printed headboard. Add in an extra pop of marigold with decor like the faux plant styled on the nightstand or with a marigold coverlet or curtains.
Marigold is a versatile shade that complements a range of hues – its yellow-orange composition gives you room to play as you look for colors that go well with marigold. Pair this sunlit shade with its complementary colors: blue, green, and purple. If your marigold pieces lean more yellow, consider pairing them with green or purple. Orange shades of marigolds look rich and saturated when styled with blue or blue-green. Embrace a complementary color scheme like this living room that styles a burnt orange sofa, blue area rug, and blue-and-marigold throw pillows. Balance the space with a few neutral colored items like a wooden coffee table or end table, or a pair of beige accent chairs.
Use muted shades to create a toned down marigold color palette. Paler marigold colors pair well with lighter, natural materials for an airy and bright space. Style your muted marigolds with rattan or blonde wood to keep the room light and inviting. We love how the muted marigold throw pillows in this bedroom look when styled with the rattan pendant lighting, light wood nightstands, and bench – it's just the right mix of cozy and calming.
Shades to Pair With Marigold
We love the versatility of this yellow-orange shade. Be inspired to create a marigold color palette that works with the tones in your space.
Marigold & Warm Tones
If you have a warm space in need of a bright pop of color, marigold is your go-to. We love how effortlessly a deep marigold shade fits in with rich browns, medium toned woods, and soft beiges. Create a cozy rustic feel with pieces that are slightly distressed or textured instead of one solid color. These marigold throw pillows have a velvet finish that adds dimension and a warm duo-toned finish. They pair perfectly with the dark taupe lumbar pillow and mocha coverlet.
Style a vibrant shade of marigold with cool shades for an accent color that pops. We love the juxtaposition between a warm yellow-orange and a cool gray, navy, or blue – this unexpected pairing creates balance and makes a playful statement. Use this color scheme and striped pattern on your patio like the one styled above, or take it into your living room or bedroom. Achieve a casual and comfy finish with a chenille or microfiber sofa or go moodier with velvet or leather.
Earth tones cover a range of shades seen in nature. Think: dark browns, forest greens, and sandy taupes. An earthy palette and marigold color combination makes for a comfy and energetic space. While an organic earth tone palette works to create an air of sophistication and calmness, we can't help but love a fully saturated palette to make a bold statement. Style golden marigold bedding with a rich brown, moss green, or burnt orange coverlet for a bright and eclectic look.
