How to decorate with the colour clay

When styling a space, it's easy to lean towards neutral colours such as warm browns, cool whites or black to balance your colour scheme, but there are many other earthy tones that you can use to complement your palette. Clay is a warm, rustic colour that's reminiscent of the red dirt of the Australian outback, evokes the feeling of something handmade, and brings a beautiful, welcoming serenity to spaces. Our stylists take you through different ways to incorporate this colour into your home. 

​

"Elegant but earthy, the colour clay creates an inviting lived-in feeling to any space. Balance its richness and sedate the look by layering with dusky lilac and denim shades, or temper with neutral ceramic decor."

​

"Refresh your dining space in seconds by throwing a gorgeous linen tablecloth over your dining table in a rich colour like clay and balance it with crisp white to brighten the room."

"Clay is inherently earthy. Being a muted tone, it pairs beautifully with textural finishes or rough surfaces. Mix different shades for a grounded and cocooning space."
