Coral can be quite a tricky colour to match to your interior as it really stands on its own. However it is not impossible. If you have a piece of furniture in coral you might be looking to highlight it in someway, and why not?! So how to go about this. Placing a white or off-white wall behind the coral allows the colour to shine and be the center piece in the room. It frames the colour beautifully and supports its vibrant nature. It keeps the look fresh, new and crisp. Off-whites with a hint of grey or blue make sure the edges don’t blend and frame the furniture just right. While off-whites with a hint of yellow or pink blend in with the coral thus fading the edges between wall and furniture. Pairing the coral with a darker back ground also gives an amazing effect. Rather that bringing the crispness out it surrounds the coral lovely. The dark walls hug the coral, highlighting the warmth of the colour, bringing out the coziness. Think of dark blues, greens and greys. Again, these colours frame the coral without blending with the furniture, keeping the outlines clean. The same goes for accent walls. Using coral as an accent or feature And pairing it with pastels, especially on walls, create a beautiful and versatile background. All images from Pinterest.com
Grey is very much a neutral colour, which is great as it opens up pretty much endless possibilities for accents colours, textures, patterns and other furnishings. When starting with grey as your base colour think of where you would like the final look to go as this will influence the further colour choices you make. For a calming, neutral finished look add colours of the same value yet different tones. Sticking to other neutrals will create a cohesive, relaxing environment. Think of other greys, browns, off-whites, beiges, etc. Adding some natural elements like a wooden coffee table of shelves will look amazing in a space like this. Though mixing different colours would be advisable as keeping all elements in the room grey can make the space look quite bland, adding other neutrals bring life and depth to the space. That said. Grey as a base also allows you to go bold and choose vibrant, popping colours to add a funky, interesting and playful edge to an interior. Think of dark grey walls with a big neon art piece. Grey walls and floors with a bright orange accent chair. Neon signage, lime green rugs, pink velvet sofas. The possibilities are endless and so fun when taking a little leap and going for that unexpected item. Grey can give a very sophisticated look, which makes it all the more fun to break that up with something unexpected. Keep that sophisticated look but add funk, add fun, add that unexpected edge and let it shine! Grey gives you an incredible chance to go bold, to try something new and unexpected. Go for it!
