  • The terracotta and blue should look ok together with if you bring it together with the curtains/bed linen. Why not go for something with the terracotta & blue in it plus another colour - say cream/peach. My lounge has peachy walls, terracotta carpet & navy blue leather suite and I'm really pleased with it. My curtains have got the three colours and I've also got cushion covers in the same material so it all ties in together. Maybe some of those colour gurus wouldn't agree but I like it and that's the main thing.
    If I had known then what I know now . . .

    cream looks nice with terracotta, plus pine furniture or limed oak would also look nice. ;D ;D ;D

    soil and plants. ;D oh, sorry with terracotta not in. my lounge is terracotta walls, cream curtains and suite, pale green carpets.
  • without a doubt cream, pine units will look fab as well. My bedroom has terracotta carpet, cream walls, lamps, shades and bedspread, then got a real nice terracotta throw on the bottom of the bed with some big cream and terracotta cushion. I think its lovely and very restful.
