Art is a wonderful way to tie together colour palettes in a space and create visual interest. We've created a collection of 22 artworks that work with coral interiors. 

 

1. Conkerberry by Polly Ngale  |  90cm x 90cm

Bold and brilliant, this painting by Polly Ngale is a palette evocative of a dazzling sunrise or sunset and will add a pleasurable feeling of warmth to any space. The addition of colours Ash Pink, Australian Ghost Gum and Australian Salmon Gum (coral) soften the vibrancy of the yellow and magenta.

This piece would particularly suit a space made of warm neutrals, tie together other bold colours in an eclectic and playful space or add a pop of coral to a turquoise room.

 

2. Atham-areny by Angelina Ngale  |  120cm x 45cm

The subject of this piece belongs in an area far from the tropical island paradise these colours suggest, but from a colour perspective the pastel shades are awash in a watery coral ecosystem spectrum.

A perfect combination to evoke feelings of warmth, nourishment and freshness in your space.

 

3. Conkerberry by Kathleen Ngale  |  120cm x 90cm

Another coral colour palette evocative of color splashed across the sky as the sun rises and sets.

Not as blazoning as Polly Ngale's Conkerberry. Calm and peaceful, yet energising and enlivening.

 

4. Alpar Seed Story by Maggie Bird Mpetyane | 30cm x 30cm

5. Conkerberry by Polly Ngale  |  30cm x 30cm

An harmonic blend of rose, coral and light magenta needs nothing else to evoke a sense of soft romance, showing coral's feminine side. A singularly special small painting. 

 

6. Spinifex by Joanna Kunoth  |  30cm x 30cm

An eclectic mix of bright colours that would compliment a coral space without incorporating the colour itself. 

  

7. Yam Dreaming by Greeny Purvis | 60cm x 60cm

A bold pattern with strong masculine vibes is balanced with coral. This special painting by Greeny Purvis would make a space truly warm and inviting.

The eclectic mix of bright colours mixed with different earthy shades would make this a lively piece for a desert inspired landscape.

 

8. Bush Medicine by Isobel Okai  |  30cm x 30cm

Coral, light magenta and plenty of white blend to create a piece perfect for any coral decor or to add a splash of coral to an existing colour scheme. Superimposed dots create a sense of depth.

Would suit a predominately purple or lavender space, balance a turquoise feature or soften an energetic and colourful room. 

 

9. Bush Turkey |  120cm x 45cm

With complimentary colours Australian Salmon Gum and Southern Ocean Blue, this piece lends itself to a range of coral interior themes. The dot work gives it a subtlety, allowing the salmony colours to cheerfully enhance a neutral environment and the ocean blue to refresh without taking over the space.

An allover energising and tranquil piece.

 

10. Alhepalh by Hazel Morton  |  30cm x 30cm

Golden tones dazzle in this small painting with hints of soft luxe lavender and bright pastel coral. Ground a coral dominated space, or bring your room a little warmth and colour.

 

11. Grass Seed by Barbara Weir  |  30cm x 30cm

An enchanting mix of lavender and skin tones evoke feelings of calm.

The way these colours blend creates a soft coral like colour in itself. The painting's depth, softness and movement make it a great piece to pair with brighter coral colours, soft pinks and/or bronze decor. 

 

12. Bush Medicine by Isobel Okai  |  30cm x 30cm

Likewise, the pop of light purple and coral in this piece makes it a great addition to a space where coral dominates.

 

13. Atham-areny by Angelina Ngale  |  30cm x 30cm

For something a little more calming, lavender and other lighter shades of purple and pink go great with coral. This piece features Matisse's Light Violet and Ash Pink anchored with Australian Salmon Gum.

 

14. Leaves by Gloria Petyarre |  45cm x 45cm

Comprised of burnt umbers and natural pink tones, we think this piece lends itself to a more neutral coral interior (think terracotta and other softer shades). 

 

15. Alpar Seed Story by Karen Bird  |  45cm x 30cm

Immediately drawing our attention, this vivid palette of olive green, orange, mauve, purple, yellow and turquoise would warmly engage with accents of coral in your space.

A focal piece with an understated and upscale colour grouping. 

 

16. Wild Flowers by Sacha Long Petyarre  |  90cm x 90cm

A black and white artwork can suit just about any colour scheme. If pairing with coral, try a deeper, richer hue like terracotta.

This painting is both soft and soothing with its wistful movement and fine execution, and big and bold with its strong pattern, lending it a unique goes-with-anything quality. A statement black and white piece.

 

17. Country by Delvine Petyarre  |  180cm x 60cm

With its flickering dot work and soft flow of movement, this oversized panel would offset a coral feature wall no matter the shade used. Perhaps hung upright on a narrow hallway wall or at the end of long corridor to disperse energy and wow guests.

A classic, elegant black and white painting. 

 

18. Waterholes by Andy Mpetyane  |  30cm x 30cm

Turquoise happens to be coral’s complimentary colour. This means that if you’re going for a coral look, the eye just wants to see a hint of turquoise. And vice versa.

Awash in color suggestive of a watery paradise, this small painting is the ultimate piece for a coral-turquoise space.  

 

19. Men's Story by Andy Mpetyane  |  30cm x 30cm

If you can't commit to a colour pairing, choose a single coral coloured or shade on shade artwork like this painting by Andy Mpetyane. 

 

20. Pencil Yam Flowers by Delvine Petyarre  |  60cm x 60cm

Coral is a byproduct of the burnt orange and magenta fusion here. This painting would go well to lift a dark space with a pop of colour.

 

 

21. Soakage by Lena Pwerle  |  90cm x 90cm

Both bold and soft, Lena blends together Matisse's Ash Pink, Southern Ocean Blue and Australian Sienna to create a blissful piece.

These colours would work harmoniously with coral's brightest hue in a light and breezy space.

 

22. Bush Medicine by Patsy Long  |  30cm x 30cm

And finally, an artwork for an earthy and neutral environment that features Australian Salmon Gum as an underlying colour. A perfect way to infuse a natural look with a hint of coral.
