Color Crush: Coral Touches in the Home


Color Crush: Coral Accents for the Home

In this weekly column, I'm bringing you chic home décor products and ideas that won't break the bank. This week, I’m crushing on coral accents.

Radiant Orchard has made a name for herself as Pantone’s color of the year, but I think coral is the hue for the season at home. Coral touches in the home add a fresh perspective especially in the springtime and throughout summer, and will contribute to a happy blend of his-and-her décor choices. Remember last week’s grey bedroom? You can brighten up the space by adding a coral pillow and lamp without worrying your other half that the master suite will turn into the color of sherbet! If you want to change up your nautical inspired den, a striped throw will bring lots of new into your space for under $20.

I have been lusting after the Saarinen tulip table for as long as I can remember and always thought it would make such a sophisticated, yet fun office work desk. The price tag forever haunted me until I came across an almost exact replica at IKEA for 10% of the cost. Oh, IKEA, what would we do without you?!
