Summer is synonymous with light, freshness and vitality, and the colours associated with this season reflect those qualities. Using summer colours in ceramics not only transforms spaces but also brings a sense of spaciousness, warmth and joy. Below are some key tips on how to incorporate summer colours into your ceramic projects.
1. Blues and greens: natural freshness
Blue connects us with clear skies and calm seas, while greens evoke nature, gardens and a sense of coolness. These shades are perfect for creating relaxing, summery spaces. Light blue is ideal for bathrooms, kitchens or terraces, where it adds serenity and freshness. Olive green or deeper shades of green work beautifully in outdoor areas or indoor spaces with a natural, organic style.
A sophisticated way to incorporate these colours is through the Lotus collection, whose shades such as Prussian envelop spaces in an atmosphere of calm and elegance. With its distinctive 31.6 x 100 format and details that evoke the texture of handmade paper, Lotus transforms every wall into a canvas of freshness, creativity and summer serenity.

2. Expand and brighten your spaces with whites and beiges
Light shades like white and beige are essential in summer for their ability to reflect light and visually enlarge spaces. They work well in any room, from living areas to bedrooms. What’s more, they combine easily with other colours to create soft, tranquil and modern environments. White also highlights ceramic textures, adding a minimalist and elegant touch.
A great way to introduce these tones with character and style is through the Legacy collection, which reimagines rustic stone with a serene, timeless aesthetic. Available in shades such as Beige, Grey and Moon, Legacy blends rustic charm with elegance, brightening spaces with a lasting sense of warmth.

3. Browns and reds: the warmth of the earth
Although often associated with autumn, earthy hues like brown or terracotta red also evoke the sun-drenched, arid landscapes of the Mediterranean summer. These colours convey comfort, tradition and a connection with nature. Ceramics in these tones – especially with matte or textured finishes – add a rustic touch that’s ideal for kitchens, terraces or entranceways.
A refined way to explore this colour palette is through the Dhara collection, inspired by Italian Piasentina stone. With its white veining set against soft, neutral backgrounds, Dhara brings timeless elegance that enhances spaces with the serenity and visual strength of natural materials.

4. Greys and blacks: timeless elegance with a modern touch
For those seeking a more understated yet equally fresh look, light grey and black tones can be used strategically to create balance. Light grey, paired with white or soft blue, can create summer-ready spaces with a contemporary feel. Black, when used in small doses or as an accent, adds contrast and a touch of sophistication.
An excellent choice for incorporating these hues is the Broadway collection, which offers an elegant Grey shade with a smooth cement finish. Inspired by the energy of New York’s theatre district, Broadway delivers a clean, modern urban aesthetic – ideal for residential or commercial projects seeking freshness, versatility and character.

5. Creativity and vitality with multicolour
Some collections feature multicoloured options with floral, geometric or artistic patterns. These designs are perfect for those looking to add a vibrant, personal touch to their spaces. By combining colours such as blue, red or green, you can create joyful compositions that capture the energy of summer in a playful and original way.
A stand-out collection for exploring this creative direction is Sonar, with its refreshed industrial aesthetic inspired by oxidised metals. Its shades range from turquoise to grey and white, with visual effects full of artistic character, allowing you to craft unique environments that celebrate colour from a bold, urban perspective.
