Pantone has chosen their color of the year for 2019 … drum roll, please … it’s Living Coral!  

Admittedly, my initial reaction was HUH?! However, the more I look at this color, the more I realize just how FUN it is!!! So fun, in fact, that this issue of Caroline’s Five Finds is ALL about Living Coral (right down to the collage font color)!

Even if you love neutral decor (which I do), it’s always fun to liven things up with pops of color here and there! Why not get ahead of the decorating trends and add pops of color with this gorgeous color of the year?!

I got so excited finding coral home decor that I could NOT narrow down to five favorites! My top picks are rounded up in the collage, but there are more great ideas in Shop the Post below!

1. A coral Kitchenaid mixeryes, please! I’m a firm believer in simple, neutral kitchen designs (i.e. white kitchens are my fav) that are decorated with colorful accents! Thanks to Kitchenaid, we can mix (no pun intended) practical and beautiful together!

2.  I LOVE these white and coral towels! These are a perfect way to add a subtle pop of (trending) color to your bathroom! The band of coral around the edges takes this basic white towel up several style notches! p.s. these towels come with several color band options! See all options HERE!

3.  This adorable 8″ x 10″ floral print would look so cute framed in a little girl’s bedroom or bathroom! It also could add an adorable burst of color in a laundry room! If you like this botanical style, there are many other cute botanical print options HERE!

4.  This Dash and Albert lattice coral rug would look FAB in a white kitchen! It could also spruce up a drab back deck or screened porch!

5.  An accent pillow is one of the easiest ways to add a punch of color into your neutral decor! This coral fringed pillow is no exception!

I designed my own custom home from the ground up, inside and out. A home that is cozy, comfy, laid out perfectly for the way my family lives, and makes us happy every single day. Oh, and did I mention I did this all without blowing the budget?! 

Yep, it’s true. I’ve been there, done that, and actually lived through it … and you will too. Pinkie promise!
