Terracotta

Terracotta as a colour

This collection is about colour: every tile here has a variant in warm terracotta, from pale clay and sand to burnt orange, rust and brick red. Most are porcelain, with some ceramic and natural stone, so you can get the earthy Mediterranean look on a floor, a splashback or a pool surround. Each tile's other colours stay on its product page.

Natural stone in terracotta tones

Some of the warmest tones come from real stone: Red Travertine squares and subway tiles, Red Rose Marble and Stack Rosso Marble Mosaic. Like all natural stone, these need sealing. The porcelain tiles do not.

Floors, walls and outdoors

Terracotta has a long history underfoot. For indoor floors choose a P3 matt tile. For courtyards, alfresco areas and steps choose grip finishes rated P4 or P5; filter by Slip rating or see outdoor tiles. On walls, gloss terracotta subway and zellige bring warmth to a kitchen splashback.

What goes with terracotta

Terracotta loves natural partners: cream walls, timber, linen and rattan. Pair it with sage green or olive tiles for a garden feel, or with white for a fresh Mediterranean look. Brushed brass and gold tapware bring out the warmth. For deeper tones, see red tiles and brown tiles.
