Punchy and bright, Pantone’s colour of the year, Living Coral, has certainly made an impact on all aspects of design throughout 2019. From fashion to lifestyle products, this bold and almost luminous shade, has been spotted everywhere! But, how can you work Living Coral into your interiors and inject both colour and fun? We’ve put together a mood board showing just how you can stylise and revamp your interiors and be brave with colour without making a space feel intimidating nor overpowering. A splash of Living Coral will make any space feel energising, uplifting and fresh whilst also maintaining a modern look.
Take inspiration and follow these Kirath Ghundoo interior styling tips…
C O L O U R
Use a fusion of coral, slate grey and beige tones. Create a feature wall with a paint shade which reflects Pantone’s Living coral (we think Flamboyant Flamingo from Valspar paint is a perfect match) and use complementary neutral tones which highlight and bring emphasis to this electric shade. Slate grey is contrasting and cool, whilst a beige tone is soft and brings both warmth and balance to the space.
P A T T E R N
Incorporating elements of pattern is the perfect way to tie all colours together and bring a quirky quality to an interior space. Use our KG Weave Coral Luxe velvet to do this (Our new velvet fabrics are eccentric in design and perfect for soft furnishing accessories). The small geometric repeat of this design is strikingly bold and super contemporary. Be creative with this coral, geometric fabric by making something totally unique. Upholster a luxury footstool or put your sewing skills to the test and create lavish, floor length curtains and matching velvet cushions.
A C C E S S O R I S E
Use a vast array of textured cushions and throws in both beige and slate grey tones to accessorise your space and incorporate softer elements. Add the finishing touches with a large scale, low-lying metallic pendent light, your favourite monochrome art prints and a large leafy green houseplant which will compliment the coral feature wall and enhance the fresh, energising feel.
