Trendsetters all have their favorite color of the year. One of my favorites is Coral. This is a beautiful color to segway between summer and fall...it's vibrant , playful and warm. It also enhances every space in the home, whether the style is casual, traditional, or contemporary. Coral mixes well with any other color and is suitable for every surface and material in the home. In the two photos below,
one living room is unified by a bright coral color applied throughout the space, while the second
living room offers a muted version of the color to accent the neutral grays.

As a designer, I encourage my clients to be courageous in their color choices and often suggest
painting just one wall of a room rather than the whole space so the color doesn't overwhelm the interiors. The following photos feature a dining room, a kitchen and a study where color coral lends personality, warmth and sophistication and contrasts beautifully with both the lighter and darker furnishings.

Creative treatments using coral as a bold color include painting stripes, applying a contrast wallpaper, adding the color to the interiors of cabinets and bookshelves, and featuring one piece of painted furniture. I love the examples in the following photos of master bedroom, baby's room and living room below.

Using the color coral on furnishings adds the "wow" factor to rooms when used sparingly in neutral settings. The painted bar stools in the photo below instantly warm up the all white kitchen. In the bathroom following, coral towels and floor runner keep the soft green room from being boring.
The coral upholstered chairs in the third photo give great personality to the large open space and draw
the viewer into the room for convivial gatherings.

Coral has always been a favorite color to use in bedrooms. When paired with other colors, the mood
can be both cozy and sophisticated as seen in the next three photos where coral is partnered with brown, blue, black and turquoise.

Coral seems to be a color that never grows old. It's a wonderful choice to convey comfort and drama
throughout the home interiors and deserves it's rightful designation as a Color of the Year. It's not just for beach houses, anymore!
