Living coral and crisp white make a great partnership for a basic colour palette as they create a light and bright atmosphere that is perfect for smaller or more compact rooms of the home. This will look perfect teamed with a white, living coral and rose gold geometric wallpaper that will create a focal point on a main feature wall. For a more modern and feminine interior design then why not partner living coral with soft and tonal grey that will create a relaxed and cosy feel in your chosen room and works well with a grey and rose gold striped wallpaper for a striking visual feature. If you prefer a more traditional and elegant interior design then opt for a spring time colour palette featuring living coral, lilac, turquoise and fuchsia and team with a bold floral wallpaper for a sophisticated botanical look.
When selecting soft furnishings and upholstery for your home interior then you can either opt for a classic and natural style or a more luxurious and opulent finish. If simple and natural finishes are more to your taste then opt for some living coral, grey and white curtains, cushions and bedding in simple cotton and linen. Stick to classic patterns such as florals and stripes or upholster a statement sofa or armchair for a centrepiece within the room. If you’re looking for luxury and glamour within your home then opt for satin fabrics in living coral and rose gold and include a selection of cushions in metallic finishes that can be teamed with embroidered, sequined or tasselled designs that will look great scattered along a sofa or sleeping area. Pair with a deep pile, living coral rug to create a focal point within the room.
White painted furniture will create a simple and classic finish against a living coral backdrop and will create a sense of space and light within the room. More modern homes can be given a sleek and sophisticated finish with some white high gloss furniture items for a minimal and streamline look. If you wish to create a more traditional and homely feel within your chosen room then why not select some solid oak furniture items that will create a welcoming ambiance against the bright and cheerful backdrop. Accentuate the room with a selection of rose gold lighting and accessories for a hint of metallic glamour or opt for simple crisp white or floral-patterned items for a more traditional finish to your interior design.
