For anyone looking for an unconventional alternative to their usual linoleum or hardwood flooring, terracotta tiles just may be your interior design solution. For the year ahead, terracotta tiling is slated to make a statement at home. With their neutral tone and chic, vintage-looking texture, these tiles just may complete your decorating scheme. We’ve curated a few stylish ways to embrace the terracotta trend in all its glory in 2017.

Contrast blue terracotta tiles with sea blue and white décor: For a beach property inspired look in your kitchen, turn to a terracotta tile kitchen island in a shade of soft blue. To contrast effortlessly against the tile, adorn your space with gleaming white countertops, a blue and white kitchen backsplash and funky hanging lamps.

Accessorize your terracotta with green accents: Terracotta matches beautifully with earthy, bright tones of green. If your kitchen is also craving a burst of colour, accent your countertops with vivid pastel green paint, and finish off your space with dark and sophisticated bar stools or bar chairs.
