Baked Earth Colours in the Home

A much welcome alternative to neutrals, baked earth hues are the latest take on calming colourways. These saturated colours add depth without overwhelming a space.

Say goodbye to understated creams and taupes, and hello to burnt oranges and terracotta. These lively yet calming shades also offer another way to connect our home with nature. They pair well with features like rugged textures and natural elements, too. Dream up your own baked earth palette and find plenty of inspiration below.

Create the Bedroom of Your Dreams Using Earthy Colours

Baked earth hues truly glow in the bedroom, creating cosy, restful spaces.

Lisbon Collection

Set the backdrop to a cosy bedroom space with an upholstered headboard in a warming rust or umber. Pair with scatter cushions or bedding in soft pink tones. Create contrast with accessories in olive green shades. Add furniture and accessories with brass or copper accents to amplify earthy colourways.

Set Up a Cocooning Living Room Scheme Using Sunset Shades

Form a space that you can’t wait to retreat to at the end of the day.

Create a space to unwind with a woven upholstery fabric. We love a timeless herringbone design for sofas and armchairs. Choose a multi-tone design for subtle interest. For busier areas, consider a fabric with a rub count of 100,000, ensuring your upholstery stands the test of time. Coordinate with your curtain fabric. Choose a pretty check design in a subtle earthy shade, for example.

Use Small Soft Furnishings in Earth Tones for an Understated Space

Inject snippets of baked earth hues into your home.

Saxon Collection

Scatter cushions and throws are perfect for giving your home a quick and easy refresh. They are ideal for changing your space according to the seasons, too. Plus, the impact of baked earth hues means you only need a small amount to make an impact. Combine shades of burnt sienna and ginger through to rouge. Mix and match various soft furnishings in different tones for impact.

Add in Contrasting Colours for an Unexpected Twist

Look on the opposite side of the colour wheel for inspiration when forming your palette.

One combination we love is browns and blues. Our design team have spotted these everywhere recently, and they look beautiful together. Pair a rich terracotta with a dreamy teal shade, or combine a rust brown with a navy blue. Use a mixture of designs and textures. You could combine a woven, cloud effect velvet with a subtle plain for depth and interest.
