Keep reading for Bluethumb’s Head of Art Advisory and in-house Interior Designer, Alexandra Guglielmino’s expert advice on styling Mocha Mousse like a pro.
Style Mocha Mousse Like a Pro
Mocha Mousse exudes warmth and sophistication, making it a versatile choice for any home. Whether you’re aiming for a cozy retreat or a contemporary haven, this neutral tone pairs beautifully with a variety of styles. “Styling Mocha Mousse is all about layering textures and complementary colours,” says Alexandra. “Its earthy richness works seamlessly with both bold and subtle accents.”
1. Create a Feature Wall
“A feature wall is a fantastic way to highlight Mocha Mousse’s richness,” says Alexandra. She recommends pairing it with natural materials like timber or stone to enhance its organic appeal. Neutral furniture and decor—think whites, creams, and soft greys—allow the feature wall to shine as the focal point. But rest assured, you don’t need to go all-in when it comes to incorporating Mocha Mousse into your interiors.
Warm and inviting, this feature wall pairs effortlessly with timber accents and neutral decor, creating a harmonious focal point.
2. Style with Soft Furnishings and Accessories
“You can introduce Mocha Mousse through soft furnishings like throw pillows, rugs, and curtains,” suggests Alexandra. “This is a more affordable way to experiment with the colour without committing to a full redesign.” Accessories like vases, table lamps, candles, or even a Mocha Mousse armchair can tie the room together, creating a cohesive and stylish look.

4. Pair with Complementary and Contrasting Colours
“Mocha Mousse pairs beautifully with lighter tones like soft pinks and sage greens,” Alexandra explains. “To add depth, incorporate contrasting colours like charcoal, basil green, or plum for a bolder look.” Wooden furniture and natural elements also enhance the grounded feel of this shade. Alexandra suggests framing your art in natural oak for an elegant finish.

5. Layer Textures for a Luxe Look
Mocha Mousse lends itself to layering textures for added depth and interest. Cane furniture, wool throws, jute rugs, and linen bedding can all work together to create a luxurious yet inviting atmosphere. “Mixing textures is key to keeping the space dynamic while maintaining a cohesive look,” Alexandra advises.
