Once the coral pink enters, the whole room stops apologising. The zebra in its bright flower crown brings the kind of mood most kids’ rooms are too polite to ask for. The wall lifts, the room feels louder in a good way, and the rest of the furniture suddenly has something to play off. Best on a clean wall above a low chest of drawers, a small desk, or beside a single bed where the eye-line lands at sitting height. Pair with pale oak, rattan, soft pink or cream linen, and the odd punch of mustard or orange in a cushion or throw. Skip heavy florals or dark mahogany next to it both fight the coral.
