Coral Wallpaper

Coral Wall Murals That Warm a Room

Coral wallpaper is a wall covering in warm pink-orange tones, named for the reef. It sits between blush and terracotta. It reads sunny and soft at the same time. Some designs go further and show the reef itself.

Giffywalls prints every mural to the exact size of your wall. We have shipped this shade to beach houses, girls' rooms and bright kitchens. It is one of the few warm tones that people rarely tire of.

How Coral Behaves in Your Light

Coral is a warm color, so light pushes it around. In a south-facing room the sun lifts the orange. The wall glows by mid-afternoon. In a north-facing room the pink comes forward instead. There it reads softer, almost dusty. Under warm bulbs at night it deepens toward clay. So a room you use after dark can take a stronger tone.

Rooms That Suit Coral

Coral Wallpaper for Bedrooms

Coral warms a bedroom without going full pink. Pair it with cream bedding and pale wood. Add one black frame to keep it grown-up. It also plays well with the softer end of our pink wallpaper range.

Living Rooms and Kitchens

One coral wall lifts a room that feels flat. It flatters rattan, jute, brass and white paint. In a kitchen it is a good match for open shelves and plain tile. Keep the rest of the palette quiet and let the wall talk.

Kids' Rooms and Nurseries

Coral gives you a cheerful base that is not baby pink. It grows with a child. A reef mural also gives a small child plenty to look at, which is worth more than it sounds at bedtime.

Reef Murals and Flat Shades

There are two families here. First, plain and textured walls in warm coral. Second, coral reef wallpaper scenes with fans, fish and soft water light. The flat shades can go on every wall. The reef scenes want one clear wall to themselves. Both sit well with our coastal wallpaper and tropical wallpaper collections.

Colors to Build Around

Cream and warm white keep it fresh. Sand and pale oak ground it. Deep teal is the classic partner. The reef pairing, and it never fails. Olive green works too. Charcoal gives it an edge. One thing to avoid: cool grays and icy blues. They pull the warmth straight out of coral. If this shade runs a touch bright for you, the softer peach wallpaper range is the next step down.

Getting the Scale Right

Scale matters as much as tone. A big reef scene needs a clear wall to be read at all. Behind a bed or a sofa is ideal. Got a wall cut up by doors, windows or shelves? Take a plain wash or a small repeat instead. It keeps working even when only parts of it show.

Does Coral Work in a Small Room?

It does, and it often helps. Warm shades pull the walls in a touch. They also make a small room feel lived in rather than bare. A powder room can take a full reef scene, since there is no furniture to fight with. In a small bedroom, keep the pattern open and the tone soft instead.

Sizing, Finish and Fitting

Send us the width and the height of your wall. We scale the artwork to match, so a fan or a fish never lands half-cut in a corner. Warm mid-tones like this are kind to an old wall. The low contrast hides small bumps in the plaster. Choose peel and stick for a finish that lifts off without taking the paint. Renting? That is the one to pick. Paste-the-wall suits a room that is staying as it is. Shipping is free, and a sample is worth ordering, since screens shift a warm pink by quite a bit.
