7. Terracotta Minimalism with Natural Elegance
The Colours:
- Burnt Terracotta – A deep, warm orange that defines the room and adds richness.
- Warm Sand – A soft beige used in accents and textiles to balance the boldness of terracotta.
- Natural White – A crisp white that brings brightness and contrast to the space.
- Clay Beige – A muted, warm neutral found in throws and rugs for texture.
- Wicker Brown – The natural tones of woven baskets and wooden flooring for grounding the design.
- Subtle Grey – A light grey used in the headboard and decor for a modern touch.
How to Style It:
- Walls: The Burnt Terracotta walls are the star of the room, creating a warm and inviting backdrop. Use Dulux Copper Blush or Farrow & Ball Red Earth for a similar effect.
- Bedding: Layer Natural White sheets as the foundation, with Burnt Terracotta pillowcases and a duvet for a cohesive look. Add cushions in Warm Sand and Subtle Grey for depth and variety. A light throw in Clay Beige completes the cosy vibe.
- Furniture: Opt for simple, clean-lined furniture in Wicker Brown tones, such as a wooden bed frame and bedside table. Keep the designs sleek to maintain the minimalist aesthetic.
- Decor: Add understated decor like a round mirror with a thin frame, small ceramic vases, and pampas grass for a touch of natural elegance. Keep wall art minimal, with abstract or monochrome pieces that don’t overpower the space.
- Lighting: Choose pendant lighting with clean, modern shapes, such as a white or neutral shade, to keep the room light and airy.
- Rugs & Flooring: A woven jute or sisal rug in Clay Beige softens the wooden flooring while adding texture. It’s a subtle yet effective way to enhance the natural aesthetic.
The Burnt Terracotta walls create a bold, warm foundation, while the neutral accents in Warm Sand, Clay Beige, and Subtle Grey ensure the room feels balanced and serene. The natural textures of wood, woven materials, and soft textiles add interest and warmth, perfectly complementing the minimalist design. This earthy palette is ideal for a space that feels both contemporary and comforting.
