How to Style Mocha Mousse for Spring

Brown is in. Mocha Mousse is the colour of the year and it’s luxurious, warm and sophisticated. These mellow brown tones are often associated with autumn and winter, used to create a cosy and snuggly mood, especially when layered with similar biscuity tones. But this brown is versatile – it can totally be styled beautifully for a fresh and airy spring look too.

We’ll take you through our favourite colour pairings, textures and patterns to take your new favourite brown colour from winter into spring.

Colour Pairings

Mocha mousse is such a versatile colour, making it great as a base for a range of moods and looks. Use it as a grounding shade on walls or furniture, and then layer in your accent colours through soft furnishings and accessories. So which colour pairings are we loving?

Olive green & mocha mousse

For an earthy, nature-inspired look, it has to be green. We especially love mocha mousse paired with moody olive green, for a rich, sophisticated contrast.

Butter yellow & mocha mousse

For a tonal feel with a pop of colour, go for mocha mousse with butter yellow. It’s still soothing, but the mellow yellow makes it feel very on trend.

Soft pinks & mocha mousse

For a luxe, Parisian-inspired feel, blush pinks with mocha mousse are effortlessly indulgent and feminine.

Terracotta & mocha mousse

Add a burst of orange with terracotta for sun-kissed vibes, perfect for summer.

Natural Textures

We know that as the seasons roll around into spring, we should be swapping out our heavy layers for light and airy fabrics. So instead of layering up your bed with velvet duvet covers and faux fur throws, we’re draping muslin-look throws over our cotton bedding. It’s the perfect opportunity to add in a little mocha mousse texture in a light, spring-esque way.

If you’re going for a colour-drenching approach to mocha mousse, then choose different textures to create a rich feel and prevent your space from feeling flat. Pair slub cotton, woven fabric and waffle textures together all in that mellow brown hue for a light and airy look that still feels luxurious.

Spring Greenery

Biophilic design is a spring staple year after year. The sunshine, the new blooms and fresh new growth makes us want to bring the outdoors in. It’s the perfect complement to a base of mocha mousse – giving it a fresh feel.

Potted plants and fresh cut flowers instantly make a space feel more put together. They also introduce green and colour to your space – depending on what colour the flowers are. Add botanical prints in like ferns, palms, and trailing flowers through your textiles like bedding, cushions and throws.

Classic Patterns

Mocha mousse feels cosy and cocooning, but it has the potential to feel a little flat and stale, especially if you’re colour-drenching. A great way to add a little movement is through pattern.

Striped or floral prints for your cushions, rugs or tableware, whether they’re in the brown colourway or not, will elevate your space and help you make it unique to you too.
