How terracotta works in the kitchen
In the kitchen, terracotta tile or clay details give a rustic Mediterranean feel against wood and off-white.
Keep in mind what's specific to this room: that cabinets and worktops are fixed, so colour comes via walls, details and textiles. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.
Colours that pair well with terracotta
Terracotta loves off-white, brown, sage green and navy. Wood and clay reinforce the earthy feel.
Materials and details
Clay, linen, rattan and wood are terracotta's natural company; matte surfaces feel authentic.
The most common mistake
Combining terracotta with cool, grey tones — the colour loses its warmth. Keep the palette earthy.
See terracotta in the kitchen — before you paint
The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the kitchen and type "repaint the kitchen in terracotta". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
