Pantone Colour Living Coral: Home Decor Inspirations

Earlier this year, Pantone announced that the Color of the Year will be Living Coral (16-1546).

The Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, Leatrice Eiseman, said: “Color is an equalizing lens through which we experience our natural and digital realities and this is particularly true for Living Coral. With consumers, craving human interacting and social connection, the humanizing and heartening qualities displayed by the convivial PANTONE Living Coral hit a responsive cord.”

This vibrant colour presents peach and soft orange tones that we expect to see across not only in the fashion industry but also in interior designing. So to celebrate it, here’s how you can incorporate this fun and poppy colour into your home. We’ve rounded up some of the Living Coral-coloured furniture and decors you can buy.

Velvet Eloven Chair

Give your home some personality with this accent chair. This velvet coral-coloured stunner gives your simple wall a pop. The Velvet Eloven Chair features a blossom velvet upholstery; polished brass legs; and vintage Italian look which is crafted to accommodate your guests and start a conversation.

Seasoned Laurel Ogee Lattice Rug

Create vibrancy to your simple wooden floor with this area rug. The Laurel Ogee Lattice Rug is a great way to add colour as it speaks coral, pink and orange with small blue and purple accent. The rug blends well with neutral and plain coloured furniture too. It imitates the vintage rug but lighter and easier to clean than the old ones.

Plain Russett Wallpaper

If you want to go big, why not paint your old boring wall with a cheerful tone of Living Coral to create a wow factor. Mix the wall with neutral-coloured accents and furniture to build moments of calm in a sea of colour. Neutral colours such as navy blue and grey work with this hue.
You can also opt to choose coral wall papers to give your room some extra kick. Your bedroom or living room would look better with this Victorian-inspired Plain Russett Matt Wallpaper. Match it with blush, organic earthy tone to create a tranquil ambience.

Coral accents

If painting your wall or changing your wallpaper is too big of a step, you can start by choosing coral accents for your home. This shade works well with earth tones commonly found on traditional stone or earthware. In and Out Pots are great accents to take your decorating scheme a notch higher. You can add some contemporary flowers of the same tone, too. Add this as a centrepiece on your dining table or living room to create an artisan vibe.

For the last 20 years, Pantone has widely influenced the colour trends in different industries, particularly in home decorations. For experts, Living Coral is not only a hue but also a symbol that expresses the current changes in the world. People are now becoming more conscious of the environment, so a whip of this vibrant colour add more natural tone to your humble abode.
