This versatile shade works well with multiple colour palettes, complements a range of interior styles, in particular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/blog\/bohemian-bedroom-ideas-budget\">bohemian interior<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/blog\/greek-interior-design\">Mediterranean<\/a>. While it\u2019s a bold shade, it can also be styled to blend harmoniously into your room if you\u2019d like it to. If you need further convincing, here\u2019s our style guide for how to decorate with a <a>terracotta sofa<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What Colours Go Well with Terracotta?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the word \u2018terracotta\u2019 is Italian for \u2018baked earth\u2019. Unlike a bright, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/orange-sofas?p=3\">vivid orange<\/a>, terracotta contains brown tones which give it more of an earthy hue, which creates that real warmth of colour, ideal for cosy interiors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From neutral shades including creams, whites and greys, which tend to play a dominant role in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/blog\/what-is-japandi-style-how-to-create-it\">minimal interior<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/blog\/get-the-look-scandinavian-style\">scandi interior<\/a>, to bolder colours such as pinks, reds, mustards, greens and blues, there are so many colours that compliment terracotta you\u2019ll be spoilt for choice. It may be a case of deciding what style of interior you want first, and then deciding which colour to pair your terracotta sofa with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2>Terracotta Living Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have your heart set on a terracotta living room, there are plenty of ways to accessorise to make sure it plays a leading role in the aesthetics. As this shade works beautifully with natural textures, consider pairing your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/orange-sofas?p=3\">terracotta sofa <\/a>with timber furniture, and look at rustic textiles such as woven rugs and baskets. Add a few green leafy plants into the mix in some terracotta pots to complete the look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"671\" height=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/CHARNWOOD_017-671x447.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/CHARNWOOD_017-671x447.jpg 671w, https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/CHARNWOOD_017-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/CHARNWOOD_017-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 671px) 100vw, 671px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2>How to Accessorise with a Terracotta Sofa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as making the most of natural textiles on your walls, the accessories you choose for your sofa itself can make a real impact in terms of the style you\u2019d like to create including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Mirrors<\/li><li>Picture frames<\/li><li>Carpets<\/li><li>Rugs<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a more pared back style, consider the use of neutral colours. If you\u2019re not sure if terracotta and grey go together, the good news is that a grey and terracotta colour scheme is a winning combination. Whether you paint it on your walls or have grey cushions on your sofa, the warmth of the terracotta acts as the ideal counterpart to the more relaxing, chilled vibes provided by shades of grey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d prefer to add some bolder colours into the mix, a terracotta and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/blue-sofas\">blue colour scheme<\/a> are the perfect partnership, with the earthiness of the terracotta acting as the perfect complement to the depth of colour a dark blue provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2>What Size is Best for a Terracotta Sofa?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no one size suits all approach when it comes to sofas, irrespective of colour. It\u2019s all about the look you\u2019re trying to create and the space available to do so. If you have a large room and want terracotta to be a dominant colour within that space, a terracotta <a>corner sofa <\/a>could be the perfect option, whereas if you\u2019d like a splash of colour in the corner of your room, then a terracotta armchair such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/hayle-range?cc=orange\">the Hayle<\/a> might be more suitable. If you\u2019re looking for additional functionality, a terracotta <a>sofa bed<\/a>, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/bromley-3-seater-sofa-bed?material_code=material_stain_resistant_house_fabric&amp;material_item=Fleece&amp;material_type=fabric&amp;material_range=Stain%20Resistant%20House%20Fabric&amp;cc=orange\">the Bromley<\/a> would tick all the boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"594\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/blogdata\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/26114340\/bromley-terracotta-sofa-bed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/blogdata\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/26114340\/bromley-terracotta-sofa-bed.jpg 594w, https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/blogdata\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/26114340\/bromley-terracotta-sofa-bed-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2>What is the Best Material for a Terracotta Sofa?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The material you choose for your sofa will impact on the depth of colour so it\u2019s worth spending some time researching the look you want to go for before making any decisions. Terracotta <a>fabric sofas <\/a>tend to be slightly more muted than terracotta <a>velvet sofas<\/a>, which by their very nature bring a sumptuous, rich look to any interior. A terracotta <a>leather sofa <\/a>offers timeless appeal, as well as a real level of durability. So, it really depends on the look and style you\u2019d like to create and how much of a starring role you\u2019d like your terracotta sofa to play within your space.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terracotta has long been a popular colour in the plant world, with many plant lovers opting for terracotta pots, but in recent years, this rich, warm colour has made a name for itself in the world of interiors, and for good reason.
