Colour Trend Alert - CORAL -

One of my favourite colours for both fashion and home wares/ decor would be Coral, it comes in tints and shades of tangerine to ruby-esque. And is fresh, striking as well as traditional & contemporary all at the same time. As a high chroma value hue -it an exceptional accent colour for a room or space, and in fashion it particularly works well on olive toned skin (which is maybe why I love it so much!).

Coral as a shape - It would also be one of my favourite natural shapes / design - Coral or also can be known as Sea Ferns - instantly adding an organic, sometimes coastal and occasionally graphic feel to a piece or room, and as a shape-graphic style can lend itself to be coloured-up in other hues as equally as well - creating very diverse atmospheres within a space.
