Pantone Color Insitute named Living Coral (16-1546) as the 2019 color of the year, defining it as “An animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge.”
As it is life-affirming, the welcoming color is a perfect addition to your home, particularly your kitchen. Experts say that its addition can be done as a statement piece or an accent decoration and won’t only look great but will set the mood you are going for – warm, engaging, encouraging, and inviting.
We have rounded up ways to include this life-affirming color to your kitchen area below.
5 Ways to Incorporate Pantone’s Color of the Year into Your Kitchen
1. Have it on your appliances
Take a look at this limited edition KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer. It’s a perfect example of a way to infuse the coral hue into your kitchen. Not only a visual delight, it serves its function and can be a great conversation starter as well.
Going all the way? Why don’t you do the next tip as well.
2. Have select towels, dishes and other decor accents to reflect the Pantone color.
If you have a trendy coral hue as the color of a statement piece, you can let this inspire you to have an entire kitchen facelift, without going as far as the whole renovation. Swap your hand towels, dishes and other small kitchen appliances all to match your new colors.
3. Paint an accent wall.
Nothing beats converting a wall into a coral hue to make a statement. Do this and notice an instant energy lift to your kitchen space.
4. If you’re not ready, paint a piece of furniture.
A wall might be too much for starters. So try using decorative chalk paint on a piece of furniture like a bar stool or a dining table. Who knows? You might like it!
5. Incorporate it into your kitchen countertop.
Is your kitchen countertop due for an upgrade or replacement? If you are into the color as much as you love seeing it everyday, you can incorporate it into a more permanent place – your countertops! Terrazzo countertops, a composite consisting of chips of natural materials, is making a comeback in 2019. Terrazzo comes in a multitude of colors and can really add a bold punch of color!
