Colour Trend - Terracotta

Looking out at the grey and miserable weather in January is never particularly appealing and quite often we choose to reflect the outside seasons in the decor of our home. However if you would prefer to feel warm and cosy while the rain rages outside then what better colour than rich TERRACOTTA to make your home feel warm and inviting.

From bright and stylish Moroccan interiors to classic stately styles and country cottage designs, this versatile colour works wonderfully in a vast range of contemporary and traditional home interiors.

Colour Schemes

The warm yet neutral tones of terracotta work beautifully alongside a wide range of colour palettes to create an array of styles and ambiances within the home. For a classic farmhouse feel then partner your chosen terracotta colour with cosy creams, beige and antique white that will create a colourful yet traditional feel within your chosen room. Rich claret and terracotta look fabulous in stately style interiors and can be partnered with dark wood skirting and coving for a period style manor house look. For a splash of the exotic then mix your terracotta colour palette with luxurious gold and bold purple, yellow, pink and blue for an eye-catching Moroccan interior style.

Bedding

There isn’t a cosier place in the home than the bedroom, with its warm and inviting bed and luxurious bedding that will provide a colourful and functional focal point in the room. Terracotta works wonderfully with classic oak and hardwood bed frames as well as more modern leather designs and French craved gold and white painted items. Choose a simple plain terracotta duvet cover and partner it with crisp cream sheets for a classic cottage feel or choose a satin throw and pillows with heavy gold embroidery and embellishments for a more palatial period style.



Cushions

A new set of cushions will transform even the most lacklustre of seating or sleeping areas and will add a new dash of colour to your home without the need for a complete interior overhaul. Terracotta cushions in simple linen and cotton fabrics can be pared with elegant cream, antique white or rich chocolate for a snug and cosy area to kick back and relax after a long and busy day. For an eastern feel with a hint of glamour then choose a scattering of terracotta, blue, red and orange cushions with beads, tassels and sequins for a Moroccan style seating area, that can also be laid out on the floor of a conservatory for a classic eastern floor seating arrangement.

Rugs

Rugs are perfect for adding a large block of colour to your interior space without painting a feature wall of changing the entire colour of your upholstery and flooring. A centralised plain terracotta rug will look fabulous against neutral cream carpet or oak flooring while a more contemporary pattern will create visual detail in minimal bedrooms or living room areas. Hallway runners are a great way of showcasing a new colour scheme and classic eastern and Persian rugs come in an extensive range of patterns in warming terracotta colour tones that will create a welcoming initial sight for your visitors and guests.



Accessories

Terracotta has long been used as a material in pottery as it is both neutral and elegant and can be used in both traditional and modern interior settings. Plain terracotta will look amazing in a Mediterranean style kitchen and can be displayed along a classic dresser for visual colour and style. More modern designs feature mugs, plates and jugs that are daintily dipped in gold (right) for a splash of glamour without losing the natural beauty of the material. Terracotta pottery is also regularly used to showcase bold and bright painting techniques and patterns that look amazing in kitsch style kitchens and vintage diners. Why not try your hand at some crafting and paint your own pots and crockery in your chosen style and design for a tailor made finish that is unique and one of a kind.
