Terracotta and cream bedding
Clay and cream on one bed. The duvet cover is terracotta on one side and cream on the other, so the turned-back top shows a cream band against the clay colour, and the fitted sheet matches the cream.
100% cotton, single to super king. From £27.90 for a fitted sheet and pillowcases.

How the two colours sit on the bed
The first colour is the duvet face and both pillowcases. The second is the reverse of the duvet cover and the fitted sheet. The duvet cover is reversible, so either colour can face up.
- Walls. Terracotta and cream works with warm white, sand, olive and dusty pink walls. On grey walls, choose a warm grey with a beige undertone.
- Wood and texture. Light oak, cane, jute and linen lampshades suit the clay tone. It is a natural fit for a Mediterranean or boho bedroom.
- Adding a third colour. Olive, mustard and chocolate cushions sit well with terracotta. Navy gives a stronger contrast if you want one.
- Which way up. Terracotta face up is warm and rich. Cream face up gives a calm, light bed with a terracotta band at the top.

Questions about terracotta and cream bedding
What colour goes with terracotta bedding?
Cream, off white and beige are the easiest partners. Olive, sage, mustard and chocolate also work, as accents rather than a second main colour.
What is the difference between terracotta and rust bedding?
Terracotta is an earthy orange-brown, like fired clay. Rust is deeper and redder. Our Plain Cotton set is terracotta; for a redder rust, see Brick Red in Cloud Cotton.
What colour sheets go with a terracotta duvet cover?
Cream or beige. In our two tone sets the fitted sheet comes in the lighter colour, matching the turned-back band of the duvet.
Is terracotta bedding good for winter?
Yes. It is a warm colour that suits autumn and winter, and flipping the duvet to the cream side lightens the bed for summer.
