Mandy Moore's Unusual Bedroom Color Palette is a Masterclass in Cozy Fall Interiors – Her Cocooning Design Might Even Aid Sleep

Blue and orange are color opposites, so when paired, they make each other look brighter and more intriguing. Though the combination sounds overwhelming, it works every time.

Take, for example, Mandy Moore's bedroom. It anchors on a warm orange bed with a tonal terracotta duvet. Blue accents cover the rest of the room, from the chainmail artwork behind the bed to the round cushions against the headboard, to the geometric carpet and chair. Designed by Sarah Sherman Samuel, it's a cozy masterclass in using color opposites.

Furthermore, the deep texturality of the room makes it the perfect inspiration for fall interiors. The rich colors intermingle beautifully with soft, welcoming materials.

As we move into the next season, warm terracottas like we see on Mandy's bed are a top pick for a cozy bedroom.

Carlin van Noppen, interior designer and founder of Fig Linens and Home explains: 'Orange color palettes are always popular at this time of year because of their association with the changing colors of fall leaves. They also look gorgeous with natural wood, making them the ideal choice for a warm, organic space. Adding pops of lighter blue helps keep this palette from feeling too heavy.'

Recreate Mandy's Look at Home

If you're hoping to recreate Mandy Moore's orange and blue bedroom, these are our editors' top picks. Bringing together a mix of textures and pattern helps bring the look alive.

So, how do you recreate the ambiance of Mandy's look at home? Part of what feels so cozy about this room is the heavy weight of the textiles in the room.

Josh Branigan, a Furniture and Home Interiors Expert at home furniture retailer bedkingdom states: 'One of the easiest ways to sleep better as the seasons change is to match your duvet to the weather. A lightweight duvet that felt ideal in summer can leave you shivering once the nights turn cold, while a heavy winter duvet quickly becomes stifling in warmer months. Keeping a thicker option to hand and switching over as the temperature drops helps your body stay at a comfortable sleeping temperature all night. It's worth refreshing your bedding as the season turns, too, so everything feels fresh and cozy.'

Mixing different materials also helps to emphasize this cocooning feeling. Josh explains: 'Layering is one of the smartest ways to stay comfortable when the weather can't quite decide what it's doing. Rather than committing to one heavy duvet, adding a throw or blanket over the top gives you the flexibility to adjust through the night as the temperature changes. It's an easy, budget-friendly update, and a well-chosen throw or blanket adds warmth and a bit of seasonal coziness to the whole room at the same time.'

It's also important not to neglect the bedroom floor. As Mandy's blue rug demonstrates, these underfoot pieces hugely uplift the ambiance of a space. Josh states: 'Cold floors are one of the small things that make a bedroom feel far less inviting as autumn and winter set in, especially first thing in the morning. Adding a soft rug beside or under the bed gives you something warm to step onto and helps the whole room feel cozier and more insulated. A rug is a quick, low-effort update that instantly makes a bedroom feel more suited to the colder months.'

This season, cocooning colors and materials will be more important than ever.
