Living Coral is the colour of 2019, according to Pantone. Here's a look at five contemporary interiors that have already put the striking shade to good use.
Waterfront Nikis Apartment, Greece, by Stamatios Giannikis
Architect Stamatios Giannikis used three colours to define different living areas of this Grecian home, but coral pink was the one he chose for spaces boasting views of the Mediterranean Sea. The colour is applied generously across walls, doors and wind frames.
"The use of bold colour is done in an effort to complement and strengthen the power of the sea view, not to suppress it," he explained.
