It recalls a memory of \u201cEighties\u201d lipstick and \u201cNineties\u201d parachute pants. Coral is a hue that you can\u2019t help but smile when the political, ecological and social climate all seem uncertain. This bright, uplifting color provides a welcome reprieve.<\/p>\n<p>Each winter, on the second Friday of December, the design world eagerly awaits the unveiling of Pantone\u2019s Color of The Year. This year, Pantone curated \u201cLiving Coral,\u201d a nurturing yet playful color reminiscent of another era. This vibrant yet mellow hue \u201cembraces us with warmth and nourishment to provide comfort and buoyancy in our continually shifting environment. It\u2019s not too heavy. We want to play. We want to be uplifted.\u201d As a color, coral falls between the fiery energy of red and the joyous warmth of orange. Often used in energy healing, Living Coral represents the global consciousness of community and the strength of coming together as a collective whole.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14385\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14385\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14385 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ImageA.jpeg\" alt=\"Source: China 7\" width=\"600\" height=\"490\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.china-7.net\/localimg\/uploads\/Ly81YjA5ODhlNTk1MjI1LmNkbi5zb2h1Y3MuY29tL2ltYWdlcy8yMDE4MTIxMy81NTdlYzA1ZTRhYWU0OThmODA0MzgyYjFiZTAyMjBlMi5qcGVn \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">China 7<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As I designer, I find the usage of color to be very important in a space. This Color of the Year is a particular favorite of mine, which is perfect for accenting touches or bold statements. Read on for a few inspiring ways to embrace Living Coral.<\/p>\n<h4>Accent Away<\/h4>\n<p>I love a pop of color. It\u2019s like pieces of eye candy dappled throughout a room. Coral is beautiful alone in a neutral toned space, serving as the only source of color for a contemporary modern statement. It also plays well with others, pairing perfectly with mint and seafoam tones or a layered kaleidoscope of colors and prints to really amp up the fun factor. If sophisticated is your style, coral teamed up with white, ivory, copper and gold makes for a decadent space that is sure to satisfy a posh palette.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14385\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14385\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14385 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/AccentAway.jpg\" alt=\"Source: KitchenAid, ArDoc, Yandex, Daninoce\" width=\"600\" height=\"490\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/http2.mlstatic.com\/batidora-kitchenaid-de-pedestal-ultra-power-45qt-D_NQ_NP_982754-MLM28258308973_092018-O.webp \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">KitchenAid<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/61.56.222.21\/ArDoc\/A000\/A0000235\/Content\/A0000235-AI0020\/5q9000752o662os95oq.jpg \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ArDoc<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/avatars.mds.yandex.net\/get-pdb\/34158\/279107388-interer-spalni-1465475835.97\/s600 \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Yandex<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daninoce.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/x6living-coral-a-cor-de-2019-dani-noce-5.jpg.pagespeed.ic.M_zpCaeUSo.webp \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Daninoce<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The options to accent a room are virtually endless, dependent only on your scale and saturation needs.

Having greenery and blooms to look at and smell is just one of the many benefits of bringing nature indoors. Plants help reduce stress and create a feeling of well-being. They improve air quality, lower background noise and increase humidity in the home. The coral blooms of &#8220;Aloe Striata&#8221; arrive seasonally and play a striking contrast to the muted greens of this desert treasure. In fact, succulents in general have spectacular blooms, many of them in the coral family. &#8220;Mother of Millions&#8221; is another lovely desert plant that blooms in coral and can be an indoor plant with the proper light. If you are looking for cut stems to provide a pop of coral color, there are numerous floral options such as dahlias, ranunculus and calla lilies.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14385\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14385\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14385 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/BreatheColor.jpg\" alt=\"Source: Yandex, Brisbane, MyCDN\" width=\"600\" height=\"490\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/m.yandex.ru\/collections\/user\/neilina-lukyanenko\/georgina-v-landshaftnom-dizaine\/ \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Yandex<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/weeds.brisbane.qld.gov.au\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/weed-thumb\/public\/images\/bryophyllum_delagoense10.jpg?itok=1GmQG5g5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Brisbane<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/i.mycdn.me\/image?id=855015252353&amp;t=3&amp;plc=WEB&amp;tkn=*sgTMuOVgxGPz90aQcpPTugRgz6A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MyCDN<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Window Wrapping<\/h4>\n<p>Living Coral is great for paint, furniture and accents, but when you put it on a window, it really comes alive.
