If you haven’t already considered decorating with terracotta accents instead of go-to black or gold, then you’re in the right place – this grounding color can be the key to anchoring a space and adding warmth to a cooler scheme.
You can treat terracotta as you would a ‘simpler’ shade like black – and in fact, the softer tones mean this shade is actually easier to work with in many ways. Plus, thanks to its earthy associations, you can treat it as something of a neutral, useful if you're averse to decorating with color. ‘Shades range from the traditional burnt-orange to chalky pinks, making it something that can lean more neutral or something that adds a dramatic pop of color,’ explains interior designer Emma Beryl. ‘It’s all about the application of the color and how you choose to incorporate it.’
