Colour themes – Orange

Pull a pop of energy into your interior

Using the colour orange in today’s commercial interiors, injects a feeling of energy: bright, positive and exhilarating! Orange, like the colour yellow, is known as the colour of teamwork and is used in creative environments to raise feelings of positivity and stimulate mental activity.

This on-trend colour is represented in Shaw Contract’s new carpet tile collections Colour Construct, Living Systems and Auxiliary too, all made in the UK. Our Design Manager EMEA, Kerry Deffley, has curated this special colour palette themed around the colour orange using our UK manufactured and stocked products.


Orange, pink and yellow tones combine beautifully with soft greys and wood tones.

Inspiration from natural dyes

Irregular beauty

When we revisited our iconic Dye Lab collection with newly curated colourways, colour Sandalwood was introduced. A native tree to India and Indonesia, sandalwood yields dyes ranging from pink and salmon to orange and brown shades.

Dye Lab tile draws inspiration from natural dyes and mimics the colour shifts rendered in naturally dyed textiles, creating an elegant and unpredictable visual. With colour Sandalwood, shades like rosewood, blush colours and greys work well in combination.

Dye Lab brings lush intimacy or expansive boldness to the spaces where we work, rest, collaborate and meet.
