THE
CORAL BRIEF |
| |
Coral
- the color and the shape - adds summery pop to a room.
Use coral patterns in earth tones, or add pieces of live
coral to your mantel for a subtler take on this bright shade:
mother-of-pearl and lacquer box, $38, and frosted swirl
tumbler, $14, both at Mixed Company, Philadelphia,
215-627-8688, www.themixedcompany.com

WHITE
WATER |
| |
A
crisp, white-on-white scheme is as clean and fresh as the
ocean air, and works with any style. For a sofisticated
feel, mix off-whites and creams: creamware pitcher, $50,
and vintage Fred Press gold-and-white glass tumblers, $50
for six, Mixed Company, 215-627-8688, www.themixedcompany.com

MY
BLUE HEAVEN |
| |
Bring
the ocean inside with colors that remind you of the water.
Try splashes of marine shades mixed with cabana-inspired
awning stripes: Turquoise pillow, $30, and small plate,
$40 for four, both at Mixed Company, 215-627-8688,
