13. Vibrant Terracotta with Mustard and Pink Accents
This bedroom radiates joy and warmth with its bold combination of terracotta, mustard yellow, and pink accents. This lively colour palette creates an uplifting and cosy atmosphere while maintaining a playful and modern look.
The Colours:
- Terracotta Glow – A rich, earthy orange that forms the foundation of the palette.
- Mustard Yellow – A vibrant, golden hue that adds energy and warmth.
- Coral Pink – A soft, cheerful pink that pairs perfectly with the warmth of terracotta and mustard.
- Soft Blush – A pale, subtle pink that balances the bolder colours.
- Neutral Cream – A soft, off-white shade used as a grounding element.
- Warm Wood – A medium wood tone found in furniture to enhance the natural, earthy vibe.
How to Style It:
- Walls: The Terracotta Glow wall serves as a bold backdrop, enveloping the room with warmth and depth. For similar tones, try Farrow & Ball’s Red Earth or Dulux Copper Blush.
- Bedding: Layer Soft Blush sheets as the base, paired with a Coral Pink duvet or quilt. Add throw pillows in a mix of Mustard Yellow, Coral Pink, and patterned designs to bring energy and texture.
- Furniture: Keep furniture minimal with Warm Wood tones for bedside tables or benches. These earthy elements provide balance to the vibrant colour scheme.
- Decor: Introduce textures through throws and cushions, such as a knitted blanket in Terracotta Glow or Coral Pink. Add touches of Mustard Yellow in lamps, vases, or decorative accessories to tie the palette together.
- Lighting: Use unique statement pieces, like the birdcage pendant lamp shown in Warm Metal, to create visual interest while diffusing soft, warm light.
- Plants: Add greenery to soften the palette and bring life to the space. Use terracotta pots for continuity or ceramic planters for contrast.
- Flooring & Rugs: A woven or patterned rug in Terracotta Glow or Neutral Cream anchors the space while adding warmth underfoot.
This design works by blending the boldness of Terracotta Glow with the vibrancy of Mustard Yellow and the softness of Coral Pink and Soft Blush. The Warm Wood and Neutral Cream accents help balance the room, ensuring the space remains grounded and inviting.
This colour scheme recalls a previously mentioned Bright Terracotta with Sunshine Accents palette, incorporating the same playful mix of mustard yellow and pink, but here with a more dynamic approach using layers of patterns, vibrant cushions, and unique statement lighting. It’s perfect for those who want a cheerful yet harmonious space full of personality.
