As part of my very cool job, I have the arduous task of pouring over countless catalogs, websites, blogs and magazines all about design. One thread I have seen appearing in numerous publications is the naturally occurring, succulent color of CORAL! And I am LOVING it!
When I say coral, I am including colors ranging from a shade that just toes the line of orange to a color just a wee bit lighter than terracotta- what a glorious range of deliciousness!
You can catch coral showing up in the most unexpected places- even this regal formal dining room.
In fact, if you are afraid to commit to coral- consider pairing some of these enticing coral accessories with an already neutral room. Coral plays beautifully off navy blue, yellow, brown and even a light green. Here are a few of my favorite coral picks! (see links and credits below!)
