Year-round comfort
Auburn is perfect for a cosy winter scheme, layered with velvet cushions and gold details, but in summer, give this baked terracotta colour a global spin with Moroccan lanterns and crisp cotton ikat fabrics
Stylist’s note
Don’t team auburn with white – choose warm creams and greys to keep the overall look mellow nicky PHILLIPS, DECORATING EDITOR
Stylist’s note
Solid auburn colour on the walls would be hard to live with, so choose a faux-surface wallpaper with a mottled look for a softer effect
SARITA SHARMA, Stylist
