How to use ‘Living Coral’ in your home

With summer here, the time of year is just right for decorating with Pantone’s color of the year, Living Coral. This pink-orange hue is bold, vivacious and perfectly suited to the season’s most festive occasions. Here are a few ideas for using it in your home.

• As an accent. A little Living Coral goes a long way. Add one or two throw pillows for a pop of color that screams summer. For a bolder look, paint a dresser or upholster a chair.

• On your walls. A splash of this color can brighten up a windowless room or create an energizing environment for a nursery or playroom. If you’re reluctant to use it for an entire room, consider painting just one wall.

• Outside. Does your front door need a makeover? Then give it a fresh coat of paint. Living Coral makes a big impact and will increase your home’s curb appeal.

No matter how you use it, this lively shade is sure to brighten your home.
