Treat Your Rooms to Pumpkin Pie Orange

I've got pumpkin on my mind. Ever notice how the grocery store has huge displays of canned pumpkin and condensed milk on every aisle starting in October? It's a good thing for me, because I've got a family favorite recipe (see below) for the best pumpkin pie on the planet! I start buying the ingredients around Halloween and make pies all the way through Thanksgiving dinner.

Also around this time of year, pumpkin-hued interiors start looking ripe for the holidays. Really a color that looks great all year round, pumpkin feels like the perfect pick-me-up. Here are a few tips for that perfect shade of pumpkin in your home.

Try pumpkin with sky blue. This tufted chaise longue has great vintage appeal against the soft pattern of the wallpaper.


A monochromatic pumpkin room looks great with touches of black. Notice how the lines of the curvy slipper chairs contrast the angular sofa.


A grouping of plush, pumpkin bar stools has me thinking about cooking for family and friends in this great transitional kitchen. I love the size of this large family-style island. This is a great way to make a large room feel cozy.


A vibrant shade of pumpkin makes a great accent wall. Pumpkin is a versatile hue with the ability to feel traditional or modern.


Pumpkin feels right at home in an eclectic mix. Be daring with pumpkin paint. It goes with every color, so have fun. Try Pumpkin Cream 2168-20 by Benjamin Moore for a similar shade to the one on this desk.


I love this daring use of pumpkin with a bold checkered floor. Pumpkin likes black, so any pairing of this orange shade with ebony accents is a winner.


This room got pumpkin right too. Try using different shades of the same base color for a layered look that's pleasing to the eye.


This great fall-inspired dining room has such wonderful light that pumpkin paint works on every wall. Notice the terrific center fixture that resembles pumpkins on a vine.


Pumpkin cabinets in the kitchen? Yes, please, I'll have a slice. Pumpkin is a cousin of red, which is known to stimulate the appetite. This particular shade of pumpkin pairs beautifully with one wall of gray cabinets.


Just for fun, please enjoy the pie recipe that inspired this ideabook:
