Yes, orange is a good colour for the bedroom. The colour stimulates the brain and effuses warmth, making it a great choice for the bedroom. While large doses of bright orange can mess with your circadian cycle, using it in small doses or lighter shades or in a two-colour contrast can work really well for a bedroom.
The combination of beige with orange is one of the best neutral two-colour combinations for bedroom walls, followed closely by orange and white bedroom designs. Beige has a very warm undertone that pairs perfectly well with orange and it works well as a background colour, allowing the orange to shine.

Since orange is a colour that is naturally occurring, a lot of nature-inspired motifs can be worked onto an orange wall. Motifs of fruit, flowers, trees and even the sun can be created on the wall. If you do not want to opt for a nature-inspired look, stripes and paisley patterns can be used too.

Orange is a bright colour by itself so it is best to pair it with neutral or “dull” shades for maximum impact. This is why orange walls should not be paired with bright colours such as hot pink, lime green, orchid purple and bright cherry red to name a few.
