According to colour experts, decorating with colour to stimulate happiness at home can help to create positive immersive experiences in our home. The coral reefs and tropical holidays that spring to mind in the light of the golden undertones of Pantone's Colour of the Year for 2019 form a strong colour base to work from. Living Coral is more than just a colour trend - vibrant and playful, this year’s Pantone colour of the year packs loads of personality and answers our innate need for sunshine and happiness in the home.
