Slate & coral living room - IH

Decorating colour trends : Slate and coral

Be bold with fiery coral, cooled by slate grey and arctic white; this scheme is as modern as they come

Grey is the original neutral. Soft and calming, it's a practical choice for a relaxed, modern interior. Liven it up with bright coral and accents of white.

Layer tones of grey in the furniture, carpet and some accessories, then pick a punchy statement shade of coral for the walls.

Pick up on the coral from the walls with the cushions, accessories and curtains; chooser fabric which mixes in a touch of grey, too. Keep shapes and patterns simple.

Add bright white; a few quirky items in pure white, such as a clock and table, will stand out and lift the scheme.
