Design classics PLANET TERRA The warm reds of terracotta are a handsome, durable interior design standard, speaking of Mediterranean living and rustic romance

Choosing the right flooring is one of the most important decisions you can make in interior design – even the cheapest options are actually quite expensive, and many of the rest of your interior design decisions will spring from the choices you make here – so you need to be sure yours are future-proof. One way, of course, is to lean heavily on the classics, as here. “Our Marlborough Terracotta is new to us this year, but has already been a big hit,” says Kayleigh Murphy, showroom manager at Boniti, specialists in tiles, natural stone and timber flooring, much of it bespoke. These guys are up at West Littleton, north of Bath on the A46 opposite Dyrham Park, and are home to just about every flooring style you can think of, from limestone to dark oak planks, porcelain tiles to mosaics. “We’ve noticed a lot of customers looking to incorporate rustic warm orange tones into their projects, and our terracotta delivers that perfectly.”

The guys are offering it in four different formats, ranging from herringbone, squares and rectangles to the pickets seen here. “Using these formats also allows you to create the appearance of texture on the floor, currently a huge trend in interiors,” Kayleigh says.
