The color terracotta is making a name for itself in interior design. A true chameleon thanks to its multiple shades, terracotta adapts to many styles and moods. From delicate powder pink to deep earthy brown, this palette offers unrivalled richness to sublimate your spaces. Light tones, such as peach or clay, add softness and diffuse light. Ideal for small rooms, these shades give a warm, welcoming character while visually enlarging the space. For a more assertive look, opt for intense shades such as rust, brick or orange-brown. Used on a wall or in imposing furniture elements such as a bookcase or sideboard, they become a powerful, structuring focal point. Whatever shade you choose, our best decorating advice is to avoid a total look, and to subtly sprinkle this pretty color throughout your decor.
