Grey is not a common colour for bedrooms, but Martin Brudnizki, designer of Le Grand Mazarin in Paris, is a daring man. Highly colourful, his rooms dare to combine terracotta paint and grey for a mix that's both lively and subtly welcoming.
5. With a Bohemian spin
A former school and military site, La Mission brings the island of Yeu to life with eclectic references. In this bedroom with its terracotta headboard, the bohemian spirit is cultivated by the addition of antique pieces, books and a few old-fashioned motifs. Designed by Pauline d'Hoop.
6. Wooden infusion
This terracotta and wood room is majestic and enveloping. Designed by Mallorcan agency Moredesign, it is nestled in the Corazón Hotel in Mallorca. Here, the colour dares to take over, from the silky textile walls to the tommette floors, in dialogue with the wood of the furniture, windows and ceiling beams.

In smaller doses, it doesn't have to be used on all the walls. Here, a single terracotta wall adorns the bedroom in this small space designed by Terre Grise.
10. Patterned Elegance
A fan of warm colours, Laura Gonzalez designed the rooms at the Saint-James in Paris with a noble spirit, using eloquent materials and terracotta tones, combined with Japanese motifs.
