I never used to like orange. I had a real aversion to it until my late twenties. Friends used to joke about having to hide the oranges in the fruit bowl! But now I love it and use it frequently in my designs. As many have mentioned, it works brilliantly to give pops of colour to liven up a scheme. I'd also love to create a room that takes the Hermès carrier bag as the starting point for a design. I think that orange with a dark brown trim would look incredible. I just need to persuade a client to go with it! The orange tiled wall by van Ellen and Sheryn architects looks great. Well done!

Like the colour scheme and all your accessories , especially the chair . Duck egg is a lovely restful colour for bedrooms . The only minor thing I would change is the drawer knobs....a small change that could make a better impact .

Thanks for all your comments, I shall try to fill in a few gaps I'm aiming at a reclaimed oak floor throughout, but it will depend on the funds I can get together in the next couple of months (fingers crossed) The orange wall does look like a colour block on the picture but I've included a sample of how it looks close up I must admit that I did think it was a bit too much but it will be mainly covered with artwork with lighter frames ( I collect aboriginal bark art so that might have coloured my choice of paper ) The sofa is a really large ( 8 - 10 seat ) corner sofa, chocolate brown leather, cushioned in chocolate brown and lighter beige ( haven't got photos of it because it's still in storage ) as I've mentioned most of my furniture is mid to dark (20's / 30's ) oak bookcase, bureau and display cabinet ... pretty brown all round I took a couple of photos on the way past earlier but the light wasnt too good and the wide shot I took made the window wall look convex but it really isn't Thanks again for your input

Orange is a brilliant colour on the walls but getting the right shade was tricky. I used to have a living room with two walls a bright/burnt orange and the opposite two walls were pillar box red. It had two big sash windows and white above the picture rail and on the ceiling with a pale wood stripped floor. I loved that house!
