Color of the Year 2018: N405 Terracotta
Take the memory lane to the earthy, stylishly carefree homes of the 60s and 70s. A gentle terracotta colour is both nostalgic and current, and ties together elements from different decades.
Why N405 Terracotta is the Color of the Year 2018
Calming down, traditional crafts, nature and home. The trends sweeping the world inspired the 2018 color jury members: trend analyst Nina Bruun, Tikkurila design manager Marika Raike and creative designer Päivi Häikiö. Reminiscent of red clay, N405 Terracotta represents the earthy, rich tones of the Color Now 2018 color collection. It invites you to touch, experiment and focus on the moment.
Trend analyst and designer Niina Bruun chose Color of the Year N405 Terracotta for the accent wall in the living room.
This is how the 2018 Color Now collection: Minerals was born
"Scandinavian interior design is now moving gradually towards European, earthy color scheme. Different textures and gloss levels add interest to color combinations", says Nina Bruun about the ideas behind the color collection.
Get inspired by three homes painted in shades from the minerals color collection
Three interior design influencers renovated their homes with their favorite shades from the Minerals color collection. See how the homes of trend analyst Nina Bruun, interior stylist Susanna Vento, and interior architect Laura Räihä were transformed.
Nina's Home – Posture and surprising Details
"The colors I chose give character and poise for the rooms. Choosing these colours requires some courage but they give personal look for your home. It felt fun to create a strong atmosphere with matching dark, light, warm and cool tones."
Y500 Wrought iron gives a graphic look in the dining area together with a gray dining table.
Hazy green V447 Serpentine gives the bathroom a fresh look.
Susanna's home – Parisian atmosphere
"Our family's love for France is reflected in the interior design. The new Minerals color palette provided lovely earthy tones and sophisticated backdrops for the interior. The combination of the dining area and kitchen underwent the biggest change. All walls, connecting doors, baseboards and built-in cupboards were painted with Y487 Piazza. Piazza is a warm gray that still maintains a sense of space. A generous white border was left at the ceiling to add a sense of height."
The children's room wall is painted with Joker paint in yellow H456 Straw.
The old safari chair was renovated with paint. The wooden parts of the chair, which had previously been stained red, were painted with a matt Helmi furniture paint in shade Y500 Wrought Iron.
Laura's home – Dark shades of mineral surfaces
"The space had previously had light gray walls, but they felt too cold and pale. The idea for using darker tones came from a recent trip to Italy, where I was particularly drawn to the reddish tones and stone and marble surfaces that are widely used in Italy. The strong but stylish V484 Ajopuu and Y500 Wrought Iron from the Minerals color collection were selected for the workstation corner."
Cabinet painted with M425 Beetroot brings a subdued contrast to the space.
