How terracotta works in the living room
In the living room, a terracotta cushion, rug or wall gives a warm, earthy base against off-white and wood.
Keep in mind what's specific to this room: the room's largest colour surfaces and a clear seating group. 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 living room — before you paint
