Terracotta Blue Rug: terracotta blue rug Floor tiles bring an instant hit of country style. They're ideal for a hallway, which sees lots of heavy traffic, as they're tough, water resistant and easy to keep clean -just wipe them down or sweep a brush over them. For a really rustic look, hunt down old terracotta blue rug tiles from salvage yards.
It's not so much the colours that are key in this room, but the paint effects that have been used that give it such personality. The walls have been painted with a base coat of cream emulsion, then an ochre glaze has been mixed up and daubed onto it using random strokes and a big, soft brush. This gives a raw, mottled effect, a bit like you might find in a Tuscan farmhouse. The chest of drawers has a distressed finish, so tones of cream and terracotta blue rug peep through, while the panelled terracotta blue rug back creates a bold contrast.
A glowing, custard yellow on the walls has only been taken up to the dado rail. Above, the walls have been painted white. This helps the room feel lighter, while the dividing line makes it feel bigger, too - horizontal lines always make a space feel larger. The warmth of the yellow is built on with a rich terracotta blue rug and blue rug, wooden floorboards and plenty of cheery cushions. |
