Unlike the unsafe and unsecure world that the members of the Party live in, the coral paperweight symbolizes a beautiful, safe and secure environment.
Winston longs for a safe haven to live in, similar to the glass dome in which the piece of coral is encased. A place where he can be free to love Julia. This is why he chooses to let the room above the store. It symbolizes the safe haven of a glass dome paperweight where he can care for and protect Julia and they can be free. Julia is like the beautiful piece of coral. In his room, he can protect her like the piece of coral in its glass enclosure.
