Pick a neutral complementary color and an accent to complete the burnt orange scheme; a nice combination would be burnt orange, espresso and cream. In the end, 60 percent of the room should be burnt orange, 30 percent should be the complementary color, and 10 percent of the room should contain the accent color.

Use window treatments that do not compete with the burnt orange color of the walls--this can make the room overstimulating. Use a solid, large stripe or simple geometric pattern for your window treatments as opposed to smaller, intricate designs. Make sure the window treatments are in your complementary or accent color, not burnt orange.

Buy bedding in a color other than burnt orange--since the walls are burnt orange, it is already established as the room's primary color. Use your complementary color for bedding to pull the room together, and add in throw pillows that contain burnt orange and your accent color.

Decorate with accessories in your accent color. If the accessories contain burnt orange or your complementary color that is fine, but the accent color should be the primary shade present. Vases, photo frames, lampshades, rugs, throws and clocks are all decorative items that would work well in a burnt orange guest bedroom.

Add a pop of orange color around the room with flowers--this will keep the burnt orange theme going without being overwhelming. Tulips, daisies and roses come in oranges that would work well. If you can't find orange flowers, red and yellow ones also look nice against burnt orange walls.
