Coral or Orange - either way, it’s seems like such a difficult color to pair with. I wasn’t quite sure how to pair anything with this piece of ART. All I knew was that - I really (I mean really!) liked the color of these flowers. There are so many different shades of coral/orange in this - and against the dark green leaves. How can this piece not speak to you?
I looked at this piece - and tried to think out of the box. Orange and … what. Orange and yellow (nah). Orange and White (maybe). Orange and …. Blue? (BINGO!) Once I started pulling those colors together, I couldn’t believe how well they coordinated.
If you’ve read my other blogs - you know the drill … here’s my steps and the links to where I found the items that I felt paired well with the ART.
Here are the 5 steps in action!
Select your focal point
Decide which piece(s) of art will be the focal point or inspiration point for the room/building.
Color of Coral Fire - Featured art. This art is available in either TruLife Acrylic or High Gloss Chromaluxe Metal. The TruLife Acrylic is non-reflective/non-glare, it appears as though you’re looking through a window at the picture, and is a little more modern and contemporary. The Chromaluxe Metal is a glossier, does reflect light but is cheaper. You can’t go wrong with either one - it just depends on what your preference, style and budget can afford. |
Custom sizing is available on all of my ART... so don’t let size limit your creativity when designing your room!
A little bit about this art: It was taken in St. Lucia at the entrance of our resort. It was such a beautiful welcoming color. Truly a tropical flower set for a tropical vacation.
Build a theme
The theme …. WELCOMING COLOR!!With this piece of ART, it’s a statement piece - but not an overbearing one. It invites and welcomes you into the room - calmly. It adds a warmth and glow to the room - making the invitation one to be accepted.
Create a Mood Board
Visualize the items together. I do this by creating a mood board. Whether I pick these exact items or not - this gives me a starting place for options for the room, for the art, and my style.
Tweak it until you’re happy with it.
Not everyone’s style is the same - so incorporate YOU into it. That will ensure that you love it!
Start shopping!
I'm not gonna lie - this is my favorite part!!! Especially when I order it ... it's like Christmas when the package arrives!!!
Below are the items that I selected to go with this art / moodboard. The resources are below, or feel free to be creative for your style. Either way - find something that you will LOVE! Afterall, it is your home or office!
The Color of Coral Fire fine art is very calming - and I have matched it with white, blue and more coral.
I selected a white leather couch, primarily because I wanted to see if this ART could go into an upscale room - and it can! It is so flexible!! The leather couch may feel cold, however when paired with navy pillows and orange pillows, a throw and accessories - it turns into a cozy little spot to sink down into.
To keep the color flowing from the ART into the furniture, I selected a beautiful accent chair. This ties them together and makes it look like the room is well thought out and planned.
For even more pops of blue I added a blue accent table and some blue coral.
The base color of the room is Benjamin Moore - Seacliffe Heights collection.
As a side note - some of my art comes in acrylic blocks. This is how you can collect art - even when you don’t have an empty wall! The 6x6 and 8x8 Acrylic Blocks can be placed anywhere - shelves, tables, mantles. Wherever you need a pop of color or relaxation or a statement piece … you can place an acrylic block. |

I then had the opportunity to collaborate with a designer and had SO MUCH FUN!! Having a 30 year career in Corporate America, has allowed me the opportunity to now do what I love - take pictures and add some beautiful art to your world!
