Earthy Tones in Interior Design: Colours and Key Pieces for Your Home
Earthy tones bring warmth, sophistication, and a sense of balance to interiors. Inspired by natural landscapes and organic materials, these colours create an inviting space and are timeless.
Following our recent blog, Top 5 Trends We’re Watching in 2025, we wanted to explore this colour trend for 2025 further. Major home interior trade fairs we’ve visited recently, like Maison & Objet in Paris and Spring Fair, Birmingham, have given us further inspiration on how to bring earthy colour palettes into your home.
Earthy colours go beyond just classic browns, although Mocha Mousse is Pantone colour of the year. Instead, think warm terracottas, muted olives, deep charcoals, ochre tones, and even bold oxblood accents. These shades reflect the warmth of clay, the depth of green foliage, and the richness of natural textures—bringing depth and character to any space.
Four Colour Palettes We Love for 2025
1. Navy and Terracotta
A deep navy balances the warmth of terracotta, creating a dynamic and well-rounded aesthetic. This combination works beautifully in both contemporary and classic interiors.
2. Sage Greens and Neutrals
Sage green’s soft, calming tones pair effortlessly with beige and taupe, making it ideal for tranquil spaces like bedrooms and kitchens.
3. Ambers, Ochres, and Rich Browns
Golden ochres, warm ambers, and deep browns create a welcoming and layered look. A great choice for living rooms where you want to add warmth and texture.
4. Oxblood and Soft Ivory
Bold oxblood accents contrast beautifully with soft ivory and cream, adding depth and a touch of elegance without overwhelming the space.
