Copying coral in interior design

The shapes and colours of coral are inspiring designers to create statement pieces for the home.

Under-the-sea themes are a constant of coastal design. But one marine motif especially transcends styles, as a rich boost to almost any kind of decor, and that is motifs inspired by coral. We love its connection to the sea as well as its organic feel – all branchy, tangled tentacles, tubes and plumes extending. And, of course, its namesake hue, which is a brilliant accent in neutral interiors.
