Splashes of Coral!

Coral is one of our favorite colors! Yes, the coral plant (or animal?) itself has become a bit ubiquitous over the past few seasons, but our love for that perfect orangey pink is still strong. Whether a room features coral as the main color or just a splash here or there, it is such a warm and lively color that really works, regardless of your style.

We love coral and turquoise together. The gorgeous screen, upholstered ottoman, fabulous drapes, and requisite Cabinet of Natural Curiosities- this room is gorgeous!

Ruthie does it again! We have mixed feelings about accent walls in general, but we love this one! Once again, the coral and turquoise combo looks fab, and we love the perfectly mismatched art arrangements.

We fell in love with this room when we first saw it in a decor mag a few years ago. The coral upholstered ottoman-turned-coffee-table is fabulous, as is the pair of modern green slipper chairs.

Coral is such a versatile color. Check out this Miles Redd room for a more subversive side of coral. Coral makes that masked bandit (at least that is what we see in this painting) alot less scary.

From the Williams Sonoma Home spring catalog... The rug plus the chair plus the accent pillow plus the grasscloth walls plus the seashell prints is a bit much together. But any of these elements alone would be totally fab. And we think the walls are our favorite.

Turquoise and coral yet again! This room is amazing. The coral armchair provides the perfect warm accent for this room. And I bet no one else has an oil family portrait on a lacquered turquoise wall.

How gorgeous is this entryway in the home of a MoS family friend?! The coral Christopher Spitzmiller lamps, Cararra marble floors, the modern twist on traditional damask and bolster pillows, we absolutely love it!

And the dining room in that same house. This picture doesn't do it justice. The coral silk drapes have a mirrored cornice at the top, and the wallpaper is pink and green damask. The room is so fresh and modern.

The perfect beach house that isn't too obnoxiously beachy. And the art totally reminds us of the Rothko painting as seen on an episode of Season 3 Mad Men.

While a bit unexpected, coral can definitely be used for a more masculine look. We probably wouldn't have done a cheetah rug with a cheetah throw with a mink blanket, but we do like think he did a good job adding some masculine elements to this room without it being too obnoxiously "man."

This Kelly Wearstler room is absolutely amazing. She designed this room for a young girl, but I can think of an adult or two who would love this room! That coral lacquered armoire is to die for!

The varying shades of color really look pretty in this master bedroom. We love the tufted headboard, matching bedskirt, and coral walls. The faded cheetah rug sets such a gorgeous stage for this room.

Coral accents do such a great job warming up this cool blue living room. It is just gorgeous, and we love the idea of having two seating areas.

House Beautiful

This entryway is absolutely stunning. From the coral walls and accent chairs to the zebra rug to the gold chippendale mirror, it is perfect. And coral pairs so perfectly with the blue and white ginger jars.

We just love this Amanda Nisbet den. The built-in bookshelves create such a cozy feeling around the sofa, and the coral wall really stands out. It's perfect!

Do you share our love for coral the color? Do you prefer a pinker shade or a more orangey hue?
