The color, not the sea creatures

Whether you’re drawn to soft sorbets or dramatic bolds, coral and its many summery iterations provide a perfect palette for freshening up the home. Read on for 19 bright ideas.

Lamps

Wallpaper

Minibars

Give the minibar a vibrant makeover. All you need is a fresh coat of paint.

Flea Market Finds
