Each year, the Pantone Color Institute studies trends in fashion and design trends to predict the “color of the year”. This year’s choice: Living Coral.

This may not seem like that big of a deal. So a design company tells us what color is popular? That doesn’t mean you have to use it or even like it, right? True. If the color doesn’t evoke for you the “vibrant, yet mellow” feelings described on Pantone’s website, it still may do so for prospective buyers of your home! Adding trendy pops of color in the right dose for your home’s style gives it a fresh look. We’re not necessarily suggesting you buy a five-gallon pail of “Living Coral”. Maybe pick up some fresh towels for your bathroom or some throw pillows for the sofa!
