How to Incorporate Earthy Tones Into Your Home

There’s something deeply comforting about walking into a space that feels grounded, calm, and connected to nature. That’s the magic of earthy tones. From sunbaked terracotta to soft clay, warm mocha to sage green, these hues have long been a staple in interior design, but right now, they’re more relevant than ever.

Whether you’re embracing this palette in full or simply introducing touches of it throughout your home, earthy tones offer a timeless way to bring warmth, texture and authenticity into your space. And with Mocha Mousse named Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2025, this grounded palette is officially in the spotlight.

 

Why We Love Earthy Tones

Earthy tones aren’t just a trend – they’re a response to the way we want our homes to feel. In an age of digital overload and fast-paced living, we’re craving spaces that feel calm, connected, and restorative. Earthy colours remind us of natural landscapes; think sandstone cliffs, clay-rich soil, dried leaves, and sun-drenched timber. They soothe the senses and bring a sense of stability that many of us are seeking more of at home.

Unlike cooler neutrals or punchy brights, earthy hues strike a balance between warmth and sophistication. They’re versatile, grounding, and endlessly layerable. And perhaps most importantly, they make a space feel lived-in and loved.

 

What is Mocha Mousse?

One of the standout earthy tones this season is Mocha Mousse, a rich mid-tone brown. As 2025’s Pantone colour of the year, it’s been described as indulgent, but soft and comforting; like a warm hug in colour form. It evokes cosy cafés, worn leather, and the joy of small indulgences, which are perfect for creating rooms that feel inviting and deeply personal.

Mocha Mousse is a fantastic base colour to build around, pairing beautifully with creamy neutrals, sandy beiges, muted greens, and even gold or brass accents. It’s ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, or any space where you want to feel instantly at ease.

 

Earth Tones We Love

  • Terracotta & Rust: These sunbaked peachy tones add energy and warmth, great for cushions, vases, or accent walls.
  • Olive & Sage Green: Soft, grounding, and incredibly versatile—perfect for upholstery or kitchen cabinetry.
  • Clay, Camel & Sand: Use these as base colours in larger furniture pieces, rugs, or wall paint.
  • Charcoal & Stone: These deeper tones work beautifully as grounding neutrals for contrast.
  • Ochre & Mustard: A bolder take on earthy tones that pairs well with timber and natural textures.

 

Styling Tips: Bringing Earthy Tones Into Your Home

Start With One Statement Piece

A velvet lounge in olive green or a mocha armchair can instantly ground a room. Try Freedom Furniture or Casa Blanco for curved silhouettes and plush finishes in warm, earthy shades.

Layer Natural Textures

Earthy interiors come alive through texture. Think boucle, linen, aged leather, raw timber and stone. Nick Scali offers beautiful wooden side tables and coffee tables, while Eureka Furniture and Early Settler are your go-tos for rustic, reclaimed timber pieces with plenty of character.

Create a Tonal Colour Story

Mix and match tones like mocha, taupe and terracotta for a rich, harmonious look. Introduce contrast with dark charcoal or creamy white by layering warmly coloured bedspreads and throws from Adairs in the bedroom, and introducing plush earthy-toned towels into the bathroom from the Sheridan Factory Outlet. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different colours, as earthy tones are surprisingly easy to blend.

Add Organic Accessories

Complete the look with decor made from natural materials. Think jute rugs, ceramic vases, rattan baskets and woven lampshades or lamps with marble or stone bases from Freedom Furniture or Domayne. TK Maxx is a great go-to for wooden or woven decor you won’t find anywhere else.

Don’t Forget the Details

Even small updates like clay-toned cushions on your lounge or bed, terracotta coloured tableware, or a wooden tray or salt and pepper shakers make a huge difference. Browse Kitchen Warehouse for warm-toned kitchenware and serveware that subtly complements an earthy interior.

Make It Personal

Earthy tones pair well with both vintage and modern elements, so don’t feel boxed into one style or get rid of everything you already have. Add pieces that tell your story, whether it’s a rustic timber-framed print or an olive-toned throw pillow that feels like a little luxury. Remember, it needs to be a look you love – and one that feels like home!

 

Bring Earthy Elegance Home

From calming colour palettes to tactile, nature-inspired textures, earthy tones are the perfect way to create a space that feels grounded and effortlessly stylish. Whether you’re drawn to the buttery richness of Mocha Mousse or the raw beauty of timber and terracotta, they’re easy to live with, easy to love, and perfectly suited to the way we want to feel at home right now.

Whatever look you choose to embrace for your home, there’s no shortage of inspiration waiting at Homemaker The Valley. Explore standout pieces from TK Maxx, Adairs, Nick Scali, Eureka Furniture, Freedom, Casa Blanco, James Lane, Oz Design, Sheridan Factory Outlet, Domayne, Kitchen Warehouse, and so many more stores, and start building a space that feels warm, effortlessly stylish and completely you.

Warm Up Your Space with a Winter Kitchen Reset

As the temperature drops, our kitchens become more than just places to prep meals — they transform into gathering spaces, comfort zones and scent-filled sanctuaries. A winter kitchen reset is all about warmth, texture and ritual. It’s not a full renovation — just a few intentional swaps that make the heart of your home feel more inviting for the colder months ahead.

Here’s how to embrace the season, one comforting detail at a time:

 

Domayne Smeg 90cm Victoria Gas Freestanding Cooker – Cream $6990.00 Casa Blanco Arora Chandelier $3800.00 Early Settler Sadara Bone Inlay Sideboard $2499.00 Kitchen Warehouse Kitchen Pro Tidy Expandable Shelf Black $39.95 Provincial Home Living Pear Decoration $5.00 Kitchen Warehouse Le Creuset La Jardin Round Multi Bowl 25cm Sea Salt $95 Kitchen Warehouse Tramontina Teak Wood End Grain Board 45x35cm $79.95

 

Layer with warmth and texture

Start with simple tactile swaps — soft linen tea towels, timber chopping boards, a new woven runner. These small changes instantly add a sense of cosiness and character. Look to TK Maxx, and Kitchen Warehouse for rustic styling pieces and tonal upgrades.

 

Create a simmer station

A winter essential: the stovetop simmer pot. Style your bench or cooktop with a ceramic pot or cast iron Dutch oven (bonus points for colour). Keep bundles of dried orange, cinnamon, and cloves in clear jars for a practical-meets-pretty display. Explore Kitchen Warehouse for simmer-ready cookware and accessories.

 

Curate a seasonal coffee or tea nook

Whether you’re a chai devotee or a flat white loyalist, give your hot drink setup its own moment. Style a tray with mugs, a stovetop kettle, a container of your favourite blend, and maybe a sweet treat. Freedom and Provincial Home Living have beautiful canisters, spoons and trays to elevate your daily ritual.

 

Style with seasonal produce

Bowls of citrus, bundles of herbs, or loaves of crusty bread aren’t just kitchen staples — they double as décor. Opt for wood or ceramic bowls and board-style serving pieces that feel grounded and organic.

 

Add ambient kitchen lighting

Fluoro lighting has no place in a winter kitchen reset. Swap harsh overheads for soft pendant lights, wall sconces or even a low lamp in the corner of your kitchen. Dimmable bulbs and warm tones will create that soft, café-at-home vibe. Shop Harvey Norman for ambient-friendly options.

 

Get your kitchen ready for winter at Homemaker The Valley

With just a few styling shifts and thoughtful details, your kitchen can become the ultimate cold-weather comfort zone. Whether you’re batch cooking or sipping tea by the stove, make winter in the kitchen feel deliciously slow, warm and personal.

Create a Spa-Worthy Sanctuary at Home

As winter settles in, there’s no better feeling than escaping to a bathroom that soothes the senses and warms the soul. Enter: the Soak & Snuggle bathroom retreat. With the right textures, scents and styling, your everyday bathroom can become a sanctuary of slow moments and soft rituals. Here’s how to create your own spa-inspired space at home this season.

 

Layer plush textures

Start with the soft stuff. Think extra-fluffy towels, bath mats underfoot, and a cosy robe you can’t wait to wrap yourself in. Choose warm neutrals or calming hues to visually soften the space. Look to Sheridan for tactile bath linens and luxe layering.

 

Set the mood with lighting and scent

Goodbye, harsh overheads. This is your excuse to indulge in ambient lighting – think wall sconces, candles, or a low-glow lamp on the vanity. Pair it with a scent ritual: layer diffusers with a soft vanilla or amber candle from Provincial Home Living for a warm, cocooning effect.

Bed Bath N’ Table Bowie Scalloped Bath Runner $59.95 Provincial Home Living Fresh Linen Candle $49.95 Adairs Tokyo Natural Bathroom Accessories $119.96 OZ Design Pila Collection Shelf Unit $1699.00 Early Settler Ripple Bath $1299.00

 

Style your bath tray like a pro

If you’ve got a bathtub, make it a feature. Style a wooden caddy with your winter must-haves: a good book, bath soak, skincare, and a ceramic cup of tea. Head to Early Settler or TK Maxx for trays, glassware and display-worthy bath products.

 

Introduce earthy accents

Spa styling doesn’t have to be clinical. Add organic warmth with timber stools, rattan baskets, stone accessories or a small plant (a faux olive or trailing fern works well in humid zones). These details bring depth and calm to a mostly white space.

 

Create a winter ritual corner

No bath? No problem. Transform a section of your bathroom into a mini ritual station. Stack towels in a woven basket, place a robe on a hook, and keep essentials like oils, incense or facial tools within easy reach. This small moment of styling adds a luxurious pause to your daily routine.

 

Get your bathroom ready for winter at Homemaker The Valley

By layering sensory elements – touch, scent, warmth, and glow – you can turn your bathroom into the ultimate winter retreat. Whether you’re soaking in the tub or wrapping up after a hot shower, your bathroom can become the cosiest room in the house.
