“Living Coral” Design Ideas: Working with Pantone’s 2019 Color of the Year



Pantone, the company known for color, has been selecting a Color of the Year since 2000. For 2019, a lively yet warm color was chosen to take the throne of 2018’s “Ultra Violet.”

Meet Pantone’s Color of the Year

Pantone 16-1546, more popularly known as “Living Coral,” gives the perfect balance between vibrancy and warmth. When incorporated in home design, it can give a living space a lively and welcoming vibe.

How to Best Apply Living Coral to Your Interior

If you are planning a kitchen or living room remodeling project this year, here are some ways to add hints of Living Coral to your indoor spaces.

  • Walls & curtains – If you’re up for a permanent update, you can paint your living room, bedroom or kitchen walls coral to give those areas vibrant appeal. As an alternative, you could update curtains and drapes.

  • Seating accents – One of the easy ways to get the Color of the Year to work for your home is to simply get seat covers, bed sheets and pillow cases in coral. These offer a pop of color without permanent commitment.

  • Area rugs & linens – Adding coral rugs in the living room and coral linens, such as table cloths or runners, in the kitchen is also another easy way to incorporate the Color of the Year.

  • Accessories – Adding accents as simple as coral flower vases and abstract wall paintings that have a touch of coral can instantly get your home up-to-date with this year’s color scheme trend.
