It was Pantone’s color of the year in 2019, and it’s still on-trend today. Coral comes in everything from furniture to decorative items to wall color. Here are some must-have items.

1. Sit in Style
A fresh take on traditional style, Interior Define designed this sofa in conjunction with Apartment Therapy’s founder Maxwell Ryan. You can customize color, of course, and also height, depth, length and leg style. The options are nearly endless.

2. Colorful Curves
Reminiscent of a genie bottle, this table lamp has a curvy, eye-catching shape upon a gold-leaf base. The body is ceramic with a lovely linen shade, and it features a three-way switch. Whitney 28” Table Lamp, $499, wayfair.com
3. Retro Cool
Love this iconic midcentury dining chair design! Made from high-quality molded, UV-resistant polypropylene, these chairs are perfect for outdoor use, but they look fab indoors, too. They’re sold in pairs, but the price is per chair. They come in a variety of colors, including this groovy coral. Svelti Dining Chair, $69 per chair, article.com

4. Coral … and Coral
This beautiful area rug features a coral design with a vivid coral background color. The 100 percent wool construction feels divine underfoot. It’s hand-tufted by artisans in India, and it naturally resists stains and is easy to care for. Sullivan Handmade Abstract Area Rug 5’ x 8’, $370, overstock.com

5. Feast on These
Although the color name is “blush,” this beautiful hand-applied glaze has a decidedly coral hue. The nature of the finish is for color to pool and crackle when the stoneware is fired. This gorgeous dinnerware, made in Portugal, is perfect for a late lunch on the patio or a formal dinner party. It’s also dishwasher-, microwave- and oven-safe to 250°F. Each place setting includes a dinner plate, salad plate, cereal bowl and mug. Ora Blush 4-Piece Place Setting, $49, crateandbarrel.com

6. Paint with Passion
Warm and brighten any room in your home with this perfect coral color. Named “Bisque” after the ruddy clay, it perfectly complements Southwestern designed homes. Farrow & Ball paints are water-based and come in a range of finishes. They are low-odor and low-VOC. Farrow & Ball Archive Collection: Bisque No.9811, starting at $115/gallon, farrow-ball.com

7. Stylish Storage
Add some panache to your countertops with this 3-piece canister set in a delicate coral shade. The ceramic pieces feature an embossed texture that’s both traditional and fresh at once. Each one includes a ceramic lid with a silicone gasket seal, so they are perfect for storing your countertop staples like flour, sugar, coffee or tea.
