Magnetic board

Display lists, reminders or photos on this cheerful orange magnetic board (Crate & Barrel, $11.50). We suggest hanging it in the entryway as an easy way to ensure important memos are noticed. The vibrant hue can't be beat, and it'll add a splash of color to whatever wall you hang it on.

Orange chair

Add a punch of energy to your space with this sleek chair in a citrusy pop of orange (Room & Board, $79). Perfect for placing against a wall as easy-access extra seating when people come over, or give it a more prominent placement to really make a bright style statement.

Biscuit tins

If your kitchen could use some brightening up, we suggest adding a few of these citrus-hued tins to your countertop (West Elm, $9-$16). Store everything from fresh-baked cookies to bread to candies, or keep frequently used cooking tools within arm's reach. Whatever you fill these pretty tins with, they're sure to make a sunny addition to your kitchen.

Lodestar lantern

Light up your garden or patio with this charming terracotta lantern (Anthropologie, $28) handpainted in a refreshing shade of orange. We love the glossy sheen and mellow glow this outdoor accent adds to the surroundings. Simply pop in a tea light or small candle of your choice, hang from a tree or display on a table.
