Craving Coral

Valentine's Day is behind us, and to me, this means Spring is just around the corner y'all.  And this season, I have fallen in love with the color coral, any shade--apricot, peach, sunset, or salmon, and I am quite obsessed. I have put together a couple of collages of some coral inspirations, for both the home and the wardrobe. Coral is a versatile color and it can add a unique vibe to your home and closet.


Coral is often associated with tropical or coastal interiors, it actually is one of the colors of coral reef as well as the inside of some sea shells, and for these reasons many people are hesitant to use it. But, don’t restrict this color to the beach--however, i love being reminded of the lowcountry coast and the gulf beaches.



When using coral, you can create a dramatic space by adding complementary colors such as green or teal.  In order to create a modern space, add white furnishings. For a more serene feel, create an analogous color scheme by adding colors such as a pink or lavender.You can also use neutrals such as  tans or greys. When adding this color to your wardrobe, the rosiness of this color is very flattering to all skin tones and it's been said it will add a flushed healthy and youthful glow to your complexion. And who wouldn't want a youthful glow?


{Be merry} & Crave coral too.
