Using marigold in your home

Use marigold in rooms that can take warmth: kitchens, entries, sunrooms, and play spaces. South light can make it feel very golden. North light helps balance the orange yellow. Pair with creamy white, deep teal, olive, walnut, or black iron. The watch point is existing brass and oak. Too many golden surfaces together can flatten the room, so add a cooler counterpoint. Amber and Goldenrod samples show the family range.
