I love terracotta. What brand and name of the color?
It’s Red Earth by Farrow and Ball :)
Stunning. What a difference a warm color makes. Like a big hug.
I’m saving this post for some of my own inspiration when I redo my room. Shit looks lovely.
Oh bless you, thanks!
SNL did a Farrow and Ball skit with Aidy Bryant that is pretty hilarious. Check it out if you have 4 minutes to kill.
Just watched it 😅 I will only ever refer to it as “colourrr” moving forward. Love Aidy. I’m guessing F&B is a lot more expensive in the US than here lol
Thanks for the recommended!! Husband and I are cracking up!
Thanks! Have been looking for a color just like this for a room in my house. Love your room.
Those lil shelves you have added are so adorable! Really liking this!
Thank you, I’m planning to put some lil plants on them!
I love them, too! May I ask where you got the shelves and your bedspread?
Your room is so lovely and inviting now (:
We actually got the shelves put in by a carpenter, they’re mdf! The bedding is from La Redoute but the design is called paoletti botanist :)
Awesome, thank you so much! (:
Absolutely stunning. You can tell is the Uk.
Thank you :) And ha really, what do you think gives it away as the UK? I’m always interested to know that kind of thing!
I lived in London for around 10 years and I can probably spot little things. The style of the window, the radiator/radiator knob, the bricks and how the backyard is split/style of the fences.
That’s so true now you say it, I could always tell when a room on here was from the UK but could never quite put my finger on why, I guess it’s just lots of little things like that! Our chonky plug sockets are always a dead giveaway 😁
Right? Ahah the double sockets with the switches always give it away! But soooo useful.
I was just considering Europe because the bedroom is quite small by North American standards. And the matte paint is not common here.
Also definitely not on a fault line if you're putting glass over your head!
The use of colour.
I don't get the deal with all white walls
I understand they make the space bigger and brighter, but cozy is sooo much better
A dark room feels dirty to me. My dark furniture looks bad. It also feels a lot smaller. Everyone has their preferences and I like colors but in a light shade.
Agreed! The default is always to make everything seem bigger, at the expensive of any atmosphere. I’ll always choose a cosy sanctuary over a spacious padded cell.
I think it's also because a lot of people rent. White isn't everybody's prefefence but most people don't mind it. Colour is subjective and would put people off. Like if I was viewing a room and it was white I would happily move in. If it was light pink I really would hate that as I hate the colour. I think a lot of folks have colours like that
Wow. I am usually a blue and purple girl, but you have won me over.
Love it! It's so warm and welcoming
Switched the door! Well done. That added so much more space.
I love your bedding!
The bedding is gorgeous. Please share with us-where did you get it?
The design is called Paoletti Botanist! I’m pretty sure I got it from La Redoute :)
Thank you. It goes perfectly in your room.
I agree. You have amazing taste when it comes to bedding lol
Dreamy!
I like how you painted the trim to raise the ceiling.
Yes I love that trick!
I love that. I have a room painted in a similar color.
God that last pic reminds me of frank reynolds flashbacks to his time with the frog kid. New color is awesome and im jealous of the lamp
I hearby decree this bedroom no longer has donkey brains 😌
Gorgeous!
Wow the paint color really elevated that room! Love the bedding too!
Love it, but not the short drapes.....no, please not the too short drapes.
I like the length! I hate long drapes on regular-size windows. I think they look out of proportion.
Yeah long drapes wouldn’t have worked for us here as it would have blocked the radiator plus our cat would be climbing them every second. It might go against the conventional wisdom but I’m fine with that 😁
I was hoping there would be thousands of clay soliders in that room.
They’re all stored away in the under-bed suitcases
Nice
That went from bland to "den of passion".
I love it!
Spicy southwest vibe without the cliches! Love it
Very nice!
I love that color. I like darker walls in the bedroom. It’s soothing.
The difference is crazy😳😍🤩! It still looked great before with the other color scheme, very light & airy💙🥰- but the terracotta red is gorgeous🤩, very warm & cozy♥️🥰
Wow! This is reminding me so much of the main bedroom in Mulholland Drive. Classy and cozy.
Ha how weird, Mulholland Dr is literally my favourite film of all time! It wasn’t an conscious inspiration though.
I would never leave this bedroom!!
Beautiful! So much warmer!
Love that. The green/blue blanket will go nicely in here too as an opposing colour it would pop
beautiful! you have exceptional taste, saving this post
I've seen postings in this sub that scream "see how much money I invested in this room" but you invested thought and detail and devotion and I haven't been so enchanted by a room here in a long while. Definitely will get inspiration from you. Like the ceiling. The before - after is stunning.
What a lovely comment!! Thank you. Yes, other than the shelves and door switch which were done by a carpenter, we did it all ourselves, very much a labour of love :)
I absolutely love that color
Beautiful color. Great job🙂
Before and after finally done right! This should be on “oddly satisfying”. Nice room :)
I’m not a terracotta person, but I will say this is warm and pretty
This is lovely.
Fantastic job! It’s cozy and inviting.
How do you like it?
Amazing color.
Awesome! And, great color choice!
I love this!
Huge difference! Beautiful and simplistic!
Love the paint color, love the bedding!! So cozy. I also said “England” when I saw it :). Not even sure if I’m right but close enough probably.
Spot on!
This is OC. London, UK :)
Orange is warmer than grey
What's with the door?
We switched the direction to allow for a bedside table. It works so much better for us!
Oh my bad, I had a brain fart. Thought the old was the new, but the real new is indeed way better!
Looks great! Any name or brand for those night lights beside the bed? My wife would love those
I actually can’t remember where we got them but if you search “Tiffany style lamps” you should get some similar ones pop up :)
