The palette
- Chalk limewash
- Terracotta
- Clay
- Warm microcement
Why it’s in fashion
Earth tones and hand-finished walls are the craft-led trend of 2026, a reaction to flat, all-white interiors; seamless floors keep it calm.
Works best for
Vacation homes, rooms with little direct sun, and anyone who likes warmth and texture over polish.
Before you renovate
- Microcement needs a skilled fitter and a sealed finish in the bathroom; ask for a sample board and look at it in your own light.
- Limewash is meant to look uneven; it needs a mineral primer, not a coat over plastic emulsion.
- Balance the terracotta with plenty of chalk white, linen and green plants, or the room turns heavy.
What changes, room by room
