There's Nothing Like a Terracotta and White Kitchen: Lisa Rinna's Stunning Tuscan Combination Proves That It's A Timeless Classic
Terracotta tiles, white cabinets, and hanging pots and pans transform the RHOBH's kitchen from a simple space into a masterclass of cozy design
The tactile appeal of centuries-old pottery, the texture of sea-worn rocks, and the bright surface of a clean white slate: these are the feelings that a terracotta and white kitchen evokes. Though the Tuscan kitchen is often relegated to the early 2000s, there's strong evidence that it's back. Let's start with Lisa Rinna's home.
Her kitchen color is a masterclass in timelessness, tapping into the beauty of historic materials and neutral colors. Rinna took to Instagram to share one of her characteristic dancing videos with her Beverly Hills kitchen in the background. The view showcases her terracotta floors, white cabinets, and hanging pot rack. A mix of materials, including glass and metal uplift the look, but ultimately it's the colors that bring Rinna's kitchen to life.
Recreate Lisa's Look With The Terracotta Edit
Nothing says Spanish Revival/ Mediterranean style like an oversized urn. This statement piece deserves a place in any kitchen, where it looks stunning in the natural light.
This beautiful clay set of pasta bowls is ideal for open cabinets. It would be gorgeously paired with beautiful glassware.
I love the idea of adding small furnishings to a kitchen, and this side table is a beautiful choice. Its stunning curves would be ideal for contrasting clean lines.
However, the look will not stay sequestered in Lisa Rinna's home for long. Designers say that terracotta tiles are one of the biggest kitchen trends of 2026. Isabel Fernandez, interiors expert at Quorn Stone states: 'Terracotta is deeply nostalgic but incredibly versatile. It adds warmth and soul to any space.'
To bring this warmth and soul into your own home, I would recommend pairing the depth of terracotta with lighter tones, as we see in Lisa Rinna's kitchen. Cabinets in white, cream, or even a light yellow emphasize the brightness of the tile, rather than leaning too far into its richness. I also love how Rinna uses glass fronts on her cabinets to add even more light. This helps to emphasize the Tuscan feel of the home. Adding these reflective accents to any kitchen can have a similar effect.
Selecting the right kitchen colors can be one of the most difficult parts of remodeling your home, but if you choose right, you only have to pick once. Few pairings have this staying power, but white and terracotta is certainly one of them.
