Gather This: Coral

March 17, 2015 by Brynne 15 Comments

Time for another round of “Gather This!” Last month I had so much fun with my roundup of all beautiful things yellow, my current favorite color, but I’m also pretty psyched to tackle this month’s inspiration color: coral.

Coral Gather This

Did you catch last week’s post on my new coral reading nook? I am so in love with the vibrant wall color (and the way it harmonizes with the yellow!) that I decided to round up my favorite finds for your home in various coral hues!

Check out these ideas for incorporating coral in your home!

Dine

While it might be overkill to use all of these elements together in one dining space (although if you manage to pull it off, more power to you!), I do love the way they complement each other! Those straws are just begging me to throw a fabulous coral-and-gold-themed party (don’t forget the coral balloons!) and serve a divinely fluffy coral ombre cake (what else?) on those perfectly mismatched boho plates!

Coral home decor: pillows

You know how I love colorful throw pillows! They are the perfect way to try out new colors in your décor – affordable and easily moved around the home. I am head over heals for the floral number on the top left, but also really digging the color combo (my new fave – coral + mustard) on that West Elm pillow!

3. Imprint Coral Indoor/Outdoor Pillow, Overstock.com
4. Chindi Colorblock Pillow Cover – Apricot,  West Elm
5. Je t’aime Throw Pillow, Society6
6. Coral Herringbone Oversized Throw, World Market

Coral home decor: art

Mmm, how fun is this coral collection? These little thumbnails don’t do these pieces justice by half!

Note that the black floral “print” is actually a sheet of printed wrapping paper from Paper Source – perfect to frame for a large and very inexpensive piece of art.

I love the colors in the “Pink Desert Skies” print and even though I don’t own a Boston Terrier (although I have a huge soft spot for them), this one is so adorably modern and graphic I’m tempted to bring him home anyway!

2. Lucy Darling Cup of Tea Print, Amazon

Coral home decor: accessories

Accessories, like throw pillows, are easy ways to incorporate a new favorite color. The rugs I picked are both pretty darn affordable and very high-impact for the investment!

Repeating your accent color throughout the room a few times, even in tiny amounts, will help tie everything together. The faceted wooden planter has only a small sliver of coral, but mixed with other coral elements, would perfectly echo the rest of the room’s design. Bold coral gives even simple and classic pieces like the clock, tray, and lamp a fresh new twist.

P.S. If you already have something similar, but it’s the wrong color, I’m sure you could take inspiration for your own DIY version!

Coral home decor: fabric by the yard

Time for my favorite section, the fabric roundup! If you follow my “Fabric Inspiration” board on Pinterest, then you know I have something of a fabric obsession. These are my eight favorite coral fabrics, from classic solid to crazy incredible geometric to blaring floral that I need in my life! So many pairing possibilities!

      I am drawn to coral, but I don't use it very much. Truthfully, I'm always challenged to make orange-toned corals play nicely with the pinks I like to use in my home!
