5 ways to use Living coral in interiors

Living coral has been announced as Pantone color of the year 2019, and it is very important to make sure that this color has a place in your palette if you think of redecorating or renovating your house.

The color is a beautiful, breezy and bright shade and is said to help your creative juice flow. Though many hesitate to have this as a dominant or main color in their design due to its extra vibrant nature, there are ways in which this color can be subtly incorporated in interiors to create beautiful spaces.

Fabrics

First and foremost, a vital element in any interiors are fabrics, and the coral is a perfect choice because the fabrics help in sustaining the free-flowing and breezy effect the hue has to offer. You can use it in curtains, cushion covers or even ditch those dark and shady rugs for this bright shade also table runners, but be careful of where you use it. Since it is a light color the maintenance can be a little tricky. 

Back splash

Kitchen area can be made a little interesting by using this color in the splash tiles also instead of going for a simple pattern try rather interesting patterns to opt for quirky charm in the kitchen. Also this tile can be used as splash tiles near your bathtub in the washroom to get in a coastal or shore effect into the interiors.

Sideboard

If you want to make a statement with this color in your interior, I would suggest the best way to go would be to look for a sideboard. They are a wonderful piece of furniture and not many are available in this color. Hence yours would be unique and not to forget beautiful. Also having it in the form of antique, crackled or distressed finish increase the charm of the piece.

Lighting

Coral sconces or pendant can be a huge hit in the interiors if used right. They have the ability to add a lot of color to an otherwise plain space. Also the color’s best is exhibited in the form of metallic texture. Hence using coral pendant or sconce should definitely be on your list. This way it brings a sophisticated yet a colorful approach in the interiors which is not a trait found many other colors.

Wallpaper/Paint

Any room will have an accent wall and to make the bold choice of choosing coral as the dominant color is a little risky but there are ways to make sure the choice doesn’t back fire. For example in case of wall paper instead of preferring a single color for the whole swatch you can balance its effect with a neutral color such as grey. And another way is use texture finishes which compromises the actual effect it would have as a block color.

This hue is gorgeous in its own way, don’t be afraid to get a little creative with this hue, the reward is one-of-a-kind beautiful interior for you to relish.
