Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2019 is Living Coral, a fresh and vibrant hue that can be used just about anywhere in your home. According to the experts, this colour reflects our desire for authenticity, connection, and intimacy in a society where digital technology and social media are becoming increasingly embedded in our daily lives.
One way of incorporating this ‘not-quite-pink’ and ‘not-quite-orange’ hue into your decor is to paint one feature wall whilst keeping the furniture and soft finishes in neutral tones. Another way is by including a statement piece of furniture upholstered in this vibrant shade. According to Pantone, Living Coral can be used as a striking focal point or as part of a palette inspired by the sunset.
