    We love the way Living Coral can bring a pop of spring or summer color to a classic color palette. Sharon Brandt’s cottage style bedroom dons a lovely sky blue all year long, but coral accent pillow and a pop of artwork on the shelf above her bed bring a dose of sunny style that compliments her vibrant vintage-inspired feel.
