Terracotta Eco-Friendly Paint

Terra Cotta, which means "baked earth" in Italian, is inspired by ancient pottery made by baking clay. It's a warm, earthy color with hints of red, pink, and orange that instantly brings a Mediterranean feel to your home.

It is the ideal shade to make the atmosphere of a room warm and welcoming, it can be used in all rooms of the house, from the living room to the bedroom, including the kitchen and the bathroom.

What color goes well with terracotta?

If you don't want to take any risks and keep the warm spirit of the atmosphere you want to create, choose rather light colors like white, beige or light gray, they will go wonderfully with terracotta paint.

For bolder decor choices, you can opt for mustard yellow or duck egg blue. Mustard yellow will intensify the warm effect of terracotta, while duck egg blue will add a more modern and elegant touch—the choice is yours!

Decorating tip: Terracotta pairs beautifully with green plants. There are several options available: you can choose a hanging plant, a plant on a shelf, or a piece of furniture to enhance your terracotta wall!

Bedroom, living room, kitchen or bathroom: in which room should you put terracotta?

In the entrance, terracotta paint is ideal, it sets the tone for your guests as soon as you walk through the door and invites you into a warm and welcoming interior!

Terracotta paint can also add a warm touch to your living room. Whether applied in small touches or on the main wall, the advantage of terracotta is that you can't go wrong!

Terracotta also works well in a bedroom. The choice of shade depends on the room's layout and the desired ambiance. We recommend softer shades, which are more conducive to the calm the bedroom should exude.

And what about terracotta in a bathroom? A resounding yes! Paired with beige earthenware and wooden furniture, it's the perfect way to create a welcoming and stylish bathroom.

Decoration question: which wall should I paint in terracotta?

When it comes to color, it's all about proportion, nuance, and the desired effect. While we don't recommend repainting an entire room in terracotta, it's perfect for an entire wall or a few more subtle touches.

In fact, it all depends on what you want to do and the atmosphere you want to create. While choosing the wall to paint in terracotta is important, choosing the shade is just as important.

As a general rule, you should paint the wall that is perpendicular to the light coming in.

Do you want to visually enlarge the room you're painting with terracotta? Choose a light terracotta. To give it a more intimate feel, you can choose darker shades of terracotta.

To reduce a ceiling height, you can, for example, repaint only the ceiling, a bold choice that creates a wow effect!

If your ceiling is low and you want to give height to the room, opt for a more intense shade of terracotta, which will give the impression of height on the walls.

Which terracotta paint should you choose from our color chart?

Our terracotta color chart features several shades of this beautiful hue. Our light terracotta paints are ideal for adding a warm touch to a room without sacrificing too much brightness.

Darker shades of terracotta are more intense and add a touch of intimacy and depth to your interior. They should be used sparingly as they make the space appear smaller!
