How to style Terracotta

0

Terracotta offers the perfect balance of warmth, texture and sophistication.

Ranging from more of a burnt orange, deep rust or soft clay in colour, we simply can’t get enough of these rustic, earthy hues, especially when paired with colours like pastel peach, deep green, mustard yellow or off-whites.

Match it to timber furnishings, or woven rugs to create a homey and earthy space.

It is a timeless addition that, when styled right, can transform and elevate any interior space. You could introduce the colour to your home through furniture, linen, lighting fixtures, plant pots, kitchenware, tiles and more.

Here are some of our favourite ways to use terracotta.
