This just in: the experts at Pantone have just announced their colour of the year for 2019 – Living Coral.

Coral accents

As tempting as it can be to let loose and paint one of your walls coral, that’s a quick route to falling out with your landlord forever (and losing your deposit). Instead, try adding some clever colourful pops – new cushions for the sofa, coasters, blankets, trays and other vibrant trinkets will all work well.

Get the look:

Velvet cushion cover – H&M, £6.99

Pom pom throw – Dunelm, £10

Geometric coasters – Etsy, £11.63

Round tray – Trouva, £36.52

Vibrant wall art

Investing in art is one of the best ways to brighten your walls up, and add a subtle Living Coral influence to a room. Frame simply with a white frame, and don’t forget to use Command strips to avoid any damage.

Marble print picture – Fy, £14

Abstract polka dot print – Fy, £14
