1. Wall decals are fast and inexpensive. Stick them on the wall and peel them off once the new redecorating bug bites you.
Orange Polka Dot Wall Decals ($8.99 for 25) will make a nice color splash for your white walls.
2. Get some inexpensive black frames and change the picture when you change the decorating theme. Use post cards, photos or even wallpaper, gift wrap or decorative papers from craft stores to get your unique look. I like photos, and this bike photo with orange background by
ScarletBeautiful2 ($9) really caught my eye.
3. Kitchen is one of the easiest places to decorate by season. Just change towels, get some new pot holders or get the daily utensils or dinnerware in the color of the season and swap them when the next one comes along. I like having colorful everyday items, and this orange
Calypso Colander (sale price $15.99) looks awesome & gives a nice splash of color on the top of your counter.
4. Get some orange candles, some orange napkins, and fill a glass bowl full of oranges and you have a dinner table decorations in the trendy orange. The
Ember candles ($0.79-$14) are from Pier 1.
5. The same ideas work for your trendy orange bathroom too. Use wall decals, framed pictures and candles to get some orange in your bathroom and finish it with plush new
Tommy Hilfiger Towels (sale price $7.99).
