Pretty much any home today has become an extension of the inhabitant's personal tastes, aesthetic, and interests. At Discern, we're design obsessed and love how color has the power to transform and uplift even the most dreary spaces. Here, we show you how to tastefully incorporate blood orange - the Discern Living brand color - into your homes.

While red is associated with bold fashion, orange is a color that exudes warmth, thereby naturally lending itself to interiors and decor. Here, the Discern design team shows you how you can bring Blood Orange into your home, through a carefully curated mix of the right products. Blood Orange is a combination of orange and crimson, lending itself beautifully to a variety of color palettes and moods. You can go bright and cheery, neo-pop, or warm and earthy to suit many interior styles. Blood Orange is a very versatile color, since it is not too bright nor too dull. To complement Blood Orange, the color scheme of your interiors could include some bright lime greens or blues, some dark orange-browns softened with pale golds, creams, and linens.

"This quickens the pulse and excites the eye. It brings back the hue and the scent of blood oranges piled high in the market stalls of Tuscany" - Marcy Masterson

To help you understand our brand color further, and visualize the hue in your own home, our team has designed a modern contemporary living room (above); classic dining room with neutral tones; a trendy modern transitional space with bold graphics and vibrant hues; and a Scandinavian bedroom with softer tones.





Discern Look: Classic Colonial Dining Room

This elegant Classic colonial dining room which uses Discern’s flagship colour is ideal for someone with a flair for nostalgia. The bright, bold Blood Orange wall has been balanced with softer neutral tones and textures to soften the look of the room. Use wooden flooring in light pine and oak tones to build a gorgeous warm base for the Blood Orange wall. Layer it with a jute rug which brings in an airy, tropical, and colonial element, all at once. Once the base of your space is light enough, you can add heavier pieces of furniture like the Gold Metal Console Table or Arabia Extendable Dining Table. Don’t forget to add that little element of sophisticated sparkle and shine with the Flora Brass Pendant Chandelier which will make your space come alive. It is the must-have piece in this dining room, as it ties the entire space together while adding a delicate touch of glamour. The eye-catching design and pattern of the chandelier with multiple shades make it a gorgeous addition, worth every paisa.



Discern Look: Trendy Modern transitional space

L-R: Discern Blood Orange, Gingerbread, Dusk Blue, Starlight, Charcoal



Do you prefer vibrant, sporty, and bold spaces? We have just the look for you. Try our Blood Orange brand shade on a wall in a passage or staircase area to create focal points and interesting transitional spaces. Instead of going the traditional route and cluttering your staircase wall with art, frames and mirrors, try painting it Blood Orange, and treat the surrounding walls to a contrasting, geometric black and white graphic wallpaper. This is a great, minimal approach to livening up spaces that could otherwise look boring. With this vibrant colour palette, we suggest you use a darker and deeper base for your floor. We recommend choosing black granite or deep grey tiles to anchor and tie together the bold graphics and colours.
