No longer relegated to scuba-diving and seaside dwellings, coral is coming into its own as a high-end design motif. It's not often I find myself ooh-ing and ahh-ing over ocean-inspired home design, but lately, I've been drawn to everything from traditional red coral-shaped candlesticks to these ultra-modern Inhabit Coral Pillows ($60 to $68). Whether you live by the sea or buried in a city, these hip coral-adorned pieces are just perfect for Summer. 
I was really surprised to discover that Brocade Home is owned by Restoration Hardware, because the online store and catalog feels more like a boutique than a chain store.

Think plush jacquard, velvet upholstery, etched glass, and curved-back wooden frame furniture.
