The color of corals is warm and cheerful. This is an excellent choice for those who want to bring brightness to the interior, but are wary of using an aggressive red. However, as the main color in the bedroom it will look too intrusive, and therefore the best option is to choose coral curtains.
Which bedrooms are coral curtains suitable for?
When deciding to choose coral curtains for your apartment, you should consider some features:
- The color of coral is bright, and therefore visually reduces the space. Accordingly, curtains of this shade are suitable only for spacious rooms;
- You should choose a coral color for curtains if the windows face the northwest side. Then, due to the warm shade, the room will become more comfortable.
A bedroom is a room intended for relaxation, and therefore even bright textiles should not look too flashy. It should be understood that it is not suitable for all interior styles. So, if coral curtains are appropriate in a classic-style living room, then in a classic bedroom they will look pompous. The room, although it will be beautiful, is not particularly suitable for relaxation. Such textiles will look more harmonious in modern interiors.
What to combine coral curtains with in the bedroom?
The color of corals is quite capricious. If you want to give preference to these curtains, you will need to try to ensure that they fit into the interior of the house. You can go in different ways:
- Match the color of the walls. This is a classic solution. Coral curtains will look appropriate with any light wallpaper (white, beige, sand, etc.). This color also goes well with brown and different shades of blue;
- Match the color of the furniture. Many designers consider this solution to be more practical, since the furniture in the apartment changes less often than the wall decoration. When selecting, you can go the traditional route (choose furniture whose color will match the shade of coral) or you can prefer a more unusual solution - combine curtains and furniture according to texture (this option will be appropriate if the bedroom has a lot of upholstered furniture, the texture of the upholstery of which will match with the texture of curtains);
- Match the color and texture of other textiles. A bedroom is a room where a lot of textiles are often used (bedspreads, pillows, rugs, etc.). By choosing all textiles in the same coral color scheme (or different colors, but with the same pattern), you can create a complete, cozy interior.
The bravest decision is to play in contrast. In this case, coral curtains should contrast with the color of the walls, furniture, and decor. However, this solution is suitable only for the most non-standard interiors, for example, pop art, postmodern, kitsch, boho, avant-garde.
What coral color curtains can be?
How harmoniously coral-colored curtains will look in the interior of a bedroom depends most of all on their variety. Today there are many types of curtains. Which type is best for the bedroom?
Curtains
The simplest decor for a window opening. Curtains are made from translucent lightweight fabrics, and therefore are only suitable for bedrooms with windows facing north. Then even a light fabric can cope with shading the room. Coral-colored curtains look good because, due to their light texture, they are not conspicuous, but at the same time add warmth to the interior.
A type of curtain is thread curtains. They consist of many threads or even beads. This is one of the most optimal solutions if you want to create an ethno-interior or love the Art Deco style. Curtains can be combined with thicker curtains, creating very interesting interior accents.
Curtains
They are made from dense fabrics, and therefore prevent sunlight from entering the bedroom well. Curtains are decorated with various tiebacks, for example, ribbons or ropes. Due to this, they become a bright accent, and therefore require that the interior be made in a calm, neutral color scheme. Curtains will be most appropriate if the bedroom is made in the English style.
Classic
They are a combination of thick curtains and light tulle. Despite the fact that the solution is classic, it will be appropriate when decorating a bedroom in a variety of styles. The main thing is to take into account the length of the curtains. They must certainly reach the floor.
Italian
They are one of the varieties of curtains. They are attached to the cornice, as a result of which they cannot move along it. The curtains open with a cord. These curtains look quite lush. They are usually used in classic interiors. However, as already mentioned, coral curtains in a classic bedroom look too pretentious. However, Italian coral-colored curtains may well be suitable for a boho style.
Roman
One of the most popular options at the moment, if a modern or ethno style is used to decorate the bedroom. These curtains look very stylish and take up virtually no space. This is an exceptional case when coral curtains will look appropriate even in a small bedroom, giving it brightness and freshness.
Rolled
Curtains of this type are suitable for those bedrooms that are decorated in the most utilitarian interiors - minimalist or ethnic. At the bottom of the fabric there is a weighting agent. If necessary, the canvas can be quickly twisted and secured at the desired height. Coral roller blinds, like Roman ones, will look good even if the size of the bedroom is modest.
Blinds
One of the most practical options that is worth choosing if you need maximum sun protection. For bedrooms, blinds are most often chosen by people with non-standard work schedules, whose rest time often falls during daylight hours. Blinds can be successfully combined with fabric curtains or used as a completely independent element of the interior.
Austrian
The main feature of such curtains is the presence of lush, voluminous folds at the bottom of the canvas. Such textiles are only suitable for a very spacious bedroom. Coral will look appropriate in a kitsch or boho style. If you want to create a less expressive interior, give preference to light coral, the most delicate shade.
Japanese
They are long narrow blades that move along guides. These curtains look extremely laconic. They are suitable for ultra-modern styles, such as minimalism, hi-tech, techno. They are worth choosing if the bedroom has large panoramic windows or has access to a balcony.
Coral curtains with a pattern
Various designs combined with coral color look very lively. You shouldn’t think that monochrome coral-colored curtains will always look bright - sometimes it’s worth choosing textiles with prints so that they “play” in the interior.
The main thing to remember is that coral curtains with patterns will not work if there is a large pattern on the wallpaper in the bedroom. But if the pattern is very small, inexpressive or completely absent, the curtains may well be non-uniform.
A bright pattern can be selected if the bedroom is large in size and decorated in light colors. A large pattern will be appropriate if it is repeated by other decorative elements (plaids, bedspreads, upholstery, lampshades, etc.).
Curtains with patterns are well suited when two tones were used to decorate the walls of the room. For example, the main one can be milky, and one wall can be any shade of red. Then the textiles will create the right accent and look appropriate.
You should be especially careful when choosing curtains with coral stripes. Stripes are a rather demanding element. They look good if there are no other complex patterns and the overall color scheme is light. However, the advantage is that using a stripe, you can create visual effects: a horizontal stripe will help expand the space, and a vertical stripe will visually make the ceilings in the apartment higher.
Geometric, floral, abstract designs are best combined with plain walls. In this case, the color of coral can be the print itself, and the main color of the curtains can be light. Then the textiles will look fresh and set the right relaxed atmosphere needed in the bedroom.

Coral colors
Coral color, what is it?
Coral is the hard skeleton (home) of coral polyps. Their variety includes more than 3,500 species of about 350 flowers. With its complex, rich, varied hues and stone-like texture, coral has become a popular material for jewelers. Black (Akkabar), white and silver-pearl “angel skin” corals are considered especially valuable.
CORAL COLOR
Coral color has always been popular in Western design, and in the coming year it promises to become a real trend - more and more designers are turning to coral color. But in Russia it has never been particularly popular, and this is strange - after all, coral color is beautiful, full of summer energy, extremely positive and therefore very suitable for residents of northern cities.
Coral is a complex color that contains red, pink and orange, so it has many shades.
Most often, coral color is the color that you see in the photo below - a transitional color between pink, red and orange.
It is clearly visible that the coral color in some cases can be very red, in others it can turn into a bright warm pink, in others it can become almost orange or pale peach.
But with all the variety of shades, coral color retains a very valuable quality for the interior - saturation and brightness without intrusiveness and tediousness. That's why he's so popular.
What colors does coral go with? One of the amazing properties of coral color is its very high compatibility.
Usually saturated but light colors, such as coral, are very demanding of their partners. And with coral color everything is very simple - almost all interior colors go with it.
One of the best combinations with coral color is all shades of green: light, delicate, bright, dark - everyone will look good.
Light, muted, pale and delicate shades of green are suitable for combination with coral if you want a calm interior with retro motifs, as in the photo above left. These same shades of green combined with light coral are the perfect color base for a child's room, as seen in the photo above right.
Modern interiors are more suitable for a combination of coral color with bright shades of green, as in the photo below.
Coral color goes well with blue, and, unlike the combination of blue and red, to combine blue and coral you do not need to select colors of the same brightness, as can be seen in the photo below.
Coral color goes well with all milky, creamy, beige, cream, chocolate, caramel and other sweet shades.
I often recommend coral-colored accessories to those who have a “boring” beige interior - by hanging coral-colored curtains, adding a couple of pillows, a box and a bouquet of flowers, you will get brightness, a play of shades, and energy, and at the same time the interior will not will become tiresomely bright. (By changing these accessories, you can easily change the perception of the interior.)
The photo above and photo below are great examples of how coral works with beige, cream, milk chocolate, etc.
Coral goes great with dark caramel and dark chocolate:
Interesting experiments are obtained by combining coral color with lilac:
Coral color perfectly complements all sand shades:
Coral color goes very well with all shades of gray:
A rather interesting combination is obtained with fuchsia and yellow:
Please note in the photo above that the photo on the right looks more harmonious, although more colorful, than the photo on the left. I want to especially emphasize one important property of coral color.
Coral is not a minimalist color. Coral loves complexity, texture, detail, vignettes, patterns and accessories.
In the previous photos you may have noted this point, but I want to specifically show you a few photos that well illustrate this property of coral color.
Compare two pictures:
A complex, playful pattern against a coral-colored background (photo on the left) looks, in my opinion, better than simple large spots (photo on the right).
Coral color encourages playfulness, sophisticated interior decoration, cheerful and sophisticated decor. It tolerates variegation well, and you can add colorful bright accessories to it. Coral color loves wall decor - white, golden, dark silver, gray, dark chocolate frames for paintings or photos look very good against its background. Therefore, if you love trinkets or want to create an interesting interior with unusual decor, and a neutral background seems banal to you, pay attention to the coral color.
However, I would like to warn you against getting carried away with coral color in the interior. As with all active colors, an important rule applies to it - if the walls are coral, then the furniture should be of a different color in order to reveal the beauty of the color by contrast. In the photo above you see an example of an overloaded interior, in which coral-colored chairs are completely unnecessary.
A blatant example of such overload is the photo below. A coral ceiling and a coral blanket with coral walls are completely unnecessary. To make the walls rhyme, just coral-colored pillows are enough, then the interior would sparkle, but otherwise everything merges and therefore becomes dull.
Coral color has another important property.
Like all complex colors, coral is very dependent on lighting. Look at the photo above. Here the walls are painted a rich shade of coral. Under a lamp, in an area of bright light, the coral color becomes almost light pink. Above the lamp, in the shadow area, it turns out saturated, almost red. To the left of the lamp it turns orange.
This is the constant story with the color coral - it will always change shade in different lighting.
Modern designers make good use of this wealth of coral shades. In the photo above, the coral color of the walls shimmers from dark pink to terracotta, this is because the room mixes daylight with the yellow light of electric lamps. In yellow light, the coral color will glow orange.
Coral color plays under the light. This is clearly visible in the photo below - in the illuminated areas of the wall the coral color becomes soft pink, in the shadows it becomes rich and juicy. This makes it one of the best colors for northern rooms - during the day it looks cheerfully bright, and in the evening it emphasizes the play of light and shadow.
If you plan to have several sources of local light in your interior, then a coral color for the wall is a great find; it will play well in different light, and this will give dynamics to the interior.
When a kitchen renovation is needed, it's a great opportunity to change the design.
The façade of kitchen units that is too bright can be annoying; the most suitable color is, for example, a coral-colored kitchen.
Experts have long developed simple rules for registration:
- Small rooms must be visually expanded.
- Light tones add volume to the room, while dark shades greatly narrow it down.
- Light shades bring peace and have a good effect on the psyche.
Coral color
In nature, corals can be of different origins, hence the colors: red, white-silver, blue, even black.
The most beautiful ones are especially popular - these are red corals in all types: orange, delicate pink or cherry. Interesting combinations called coral kitchens use mixed elements or medium shades.
If the home owner wants a bright kitchen, then he needs pleasant, soft colors for the ceiling, walls and floors.
And vice versa, if the design of the walls and floors is chosen in rich bright colors, then the furniture needs light colors.
Coral colors in the kitchen are a bold solution for creative modern people; rich, bright colors in the design are now fashionable.
Color combination with coral shade
For such a rare color for a room, you need to correctly select beautiful pairs to harmonize together:
A delicate blue tint goes well with rich cherry or light pink flowers. It is better to have white (beige, milk) slabs on the floor. Walls decorated in soft pink will perfectly harmonize with the heavenly tablecloth. Yellowish furniture will highlight the tenderness of the image.
Red-pink (red-orange) and turquoise combine effectively. Even in nature, the depths of the sea next to corals, these shades will complement well, emphasizing the beauty of another color. But you should choose one dominant tone.
If you choose a pink-orange version of the kitchen, then the walls are in pale pink wallpaper, and the furniture is pink-orange tones, with 2-3 turquoise shelves. Add sea green pillows, a picture, a vase.
All combinations of beige colors will also fit organically with coral shades; bright ones are better for accents. The entire design can be created in a beige solution, and cherry color can be used only in rates and details.
Various combinations of pink, as well as red or orange tones will harmonize well. You need to choose the right proportions of shades for the beauty of the overall perception.
Shades of delicate pink combined with white and black are an unusual option. The set is black and white, the walls are wallpapered with pale pink paints. Floor tiles in white or light pink tones.
Coral hi-tech
Many people perceive high-tech as strict and creating coldness, but with the right approach, a nice atmosphere is created in a kitchen in coral tones. What do designers offer?
Combinations of metal, clear lines and glass are the main features of the style.
The colors should be pastel pink. You can also use a rich, bright cherry shade, but dilute it with light colors (no more than 2 shades).
A kitchen corner in light colors looks impressive. Pale pink tiles on the floor will make it easy to change a boring interior.
Kitchen furniture is better with a variety of built-in appliances. The refrigerator can be matched to the general background.
Provincial style coral color
For rustic motifs, such as Provence, they offer delicate colors of pink-red corals, in addition to details in light shades.
Beautiful coral-colored furniture on a light background. Only coral elements are allowed: kitchen apron, curtains, tablecloth, textiles on chairs, pots.
For a country or loft setting, red brick on one or all walls is suitable; the windows are decorated with checkered curtains with the same patterns. Massive furniture, decor can be: tiles, stone (imitation).
When choosing a coral color for the kitchen, you need to think through the nuances to create a delicate, sophisticated interior.
Photo of a kitchen in coral color
Designers note a solid increase in demand for coral-colored wallpaper. Shades of coral can add cheerfulness and freshness to the interior. In addition, they go well with other colors and are well suited for decorating apartments of brave, energetic people. Coral can be used in any design style, it all depends on its quantity in the interior.
Selecting stylish coral wallpaper for the wall
The harmony of any interior largely depends on the color scheme, so it is necessary to add bright shades with caution, always combining them with more neutral ones. Combinations of coral and other colors are used indoors:
- in the living room or office you should add shades of gray or brown;
- a catalog of coral-colored wallpaper for the bedroom should be combined with plum or amethyst;
- In the kitchen, a combination of resin and coral colors with the presence of light shades looks good.
If possible, you should pay attention to lighter shades of coral or wallpaper with different patterns. If you need to buy coral wallpaper for walls in Moscow, you should contact the Artik store, which offers a large selection for every taste.
