The start of autumn tends to bring out an affection for one particularly underappreciated shade: orange. When it comes to interior design, this color can complement wood tones and contrast blue ones, or work in tandem with the likes of green and red. But orange is more than likely to be relegated to the background, only spotlighted seasonally in the form of pumpkins and falling leaves. Leave it to Kelly Clarkson to try to make orange a hit.
The singer and talk-show host’s Wayfair collaboration is dropping new furnishings today, and they’re inspired by Clarkson’s recent cross-country move to New York City. The clean lines, smooth textures, and overall sophisticated style of the collection hint at the type of Brooklyn brownstone daydreams someone coming from the West Coast might have about heading East. And since that fantasy is pretty universal, there seems to be something for everyone. An oval, two-tier metal bar cart can wheel right into a classic farmhouse or Art Deco apartment; a white “waterfall” bench can fit at the end of a modern bed frame; and a rattan five-drawer chest is ideal for anyone who loves coastal style.
But if there’s one item that has the attention of Domino’s editors, it’s this square-arm sofa upholstered in a warm orange bouclé fabric. At under $1,500, it encapsulates what makes orange worth the risk: In the right format, it looks unexpectedly cool.
Thanks to its continuous bench, matching back, and rounded edges, this sofa is inviting enough to sink into yet substantial enough to be the center of a room. Pair it with navy, brown, and hunter green accents to go all in on cozy, and don’t be surprised when this orange shade does just as well complementing brighter colors in the warmer months. Clarkson is famous for putting her spin on the classics, and when it comes to this sofa’s color, she’s hitting all the right notes.
