This year’s color has a little bit of the pink of last year’s Honeysuckle, but is slightly better suited to more masculine applications.
Here are my Tangerine Tango picks for your modern baby:
1- Lights Up! Weegee Pendant Lamp in burnish chintz- $348
2- Alexander Girard PLYprint- Sun- $95
3- Caravan Crib in Red- $895
4- The Bertie Toy Box- $370
5- DwellStudio Draper Stripe 5×7.6 Rug in Persimmon- $250
6- Aristo Katt Pillow from Ferm Living- $50
7- Oxo Tot Sprout Chair in Orange and Birch- $250
Nice picks, love Alexander Girard! I definitely prefer this color to last year’s — this is such an approachable shade of orange.
Bright and cheery — very cute!
My favorite color is also orange (and gray). Both colors seem really popular these days. Great color pick! I love this shade. I have always wanted to design a boy’s room in pink(I am not usually a fan of pink in a girl’s room) and I think I have found the perfect shade.
Since my favorite color is orange and because I love the modern design I think this stuff is fab! The crib, the rug and the high chair are the items I like the best.
