Full Member decorating with terracotta tiles UPDATED with photos Quote Select Post Think about all the colors people use in talavera when mixing it with saltillo.
Also think about ways you can complement the earthy tones of the existing tile. Just treat the color of the tile as a neutral--I know this sounds weird, but it's really not.ETA: Because I fail at helpful all.the.time.

Elder decorating with terracotta tiles UPDATED with photos Quote Select Post This houzz gallery has some good color combinations (scroll down to that one bathroom with the blue and terra cotta).
I would lean towards white walls and lighter furniture choices on the tile areas. New Member decorating with terracotta tiles UPDATED with photos Quote Select Post
I might experiment with a light gray blue (like BM harbor haze).
Canvas or burlap curtains might add a nice rustic flair.
I think you need to keep the wall color light b/c there's a lot of darkness going on in those rooms - and it doesn't look like you get a ton of natural light.I might experiment with a light gray blue (like BM harbor haze). Canvas or burlap curtains might add a nice rustic flair.
The rooms all get a lot of natural light; today is really overcast so that probably doesn't show through in the photos. One of those areas is by the stove and oven in the kitchen which is why I would love to lighten up the cabinets. As for rugs.... in the living room, I was thinking of something with some color to make the room more interesting; in the dining, I was thinking something light.... maybe with gray to pull the color from the grout?
I tend more towards a contemporary style and it seems like I see more traditional rugs with terracotta, so I'm really struggling there!
