The Pantone Colour of the Year is living coral – a warm blush orange that will add a pop of colour to any home.
Living coral is everywhere and thus colour works in any style of home – period, post war and even ultra modern. It pairs well with white, grey and black backdrops, and can be dressed up with flashes of gold or silver – think candle sticks and photos frames.
Retailers have really embraced the coral trend, with the colour appearing on everything from chairs and china and baths to window blinds. Don’t panic if you’re not bold enough to go 100% coral; there’s also great selection of accessories where coral is a highlight or complementary colour.
If you’re renting in South West London why not use cushions, rugs and throws to keep up with interior trends? These home accessory swaps are great as nothing is permanent and no redecoration is needed – a quick change and you’ve got a whole new look.
