We are poised and ready in this mid-decade year to add some vibrancy and color to our surroundings and uplift our spirits.

I chose this color because it reflects our buoyant mindset.

It's spirited, it's floral, it's joyful, it's vibrant.

This color is a beautiful mix of pink, orange and red.

It has botanical notes to it.

It also has a vintage spirit.

Something that we are truly craving today.

This color celebrates so many different design sensibilities from traditional, to modern, vintage, to cottage.

You can energize it by pairing it with violets and beautiful natural greens.

You can also relax it with soft grays off whites and buttery yellows.

I'm so excited about this color because I think it has such amazing potential.

Warm metals such as aged brass and bronze bring a vintage spirit to this vibrant color.

I also love driftwoods and natural materials like woven baskets to really give it an earthy feel.

I love it with white linens and crisp white trim.

No matter how you use coral reef it'll bring joy to your space.
