If you’ve ever found yourself torn between cool, calming greys and warm, luxurious golds… honestly, same. It feels like choosing between two totally different moods. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to pick one. When you blend them, something pretty magical happens — it’s sophisticated, moody, glamorous, and cosy all at once.
This mood board shows exactly how beautifully these tones play together, combining rich textures, soft metallics, and elegant floral design. Think boutique-hotel chic with a hint of modern glamour.
Let’s break down the look.
The Hero Print: Floral Boutique Grey & Ochre Wallpaper
This wallpaper is doing so much of the heavy lifting in the best possible way.
The Floral Boutique Grey & Ochre Wallpaper brings that soft charcoal base and layers of ochre, mustard, and muted gold — just enough warmth to balance the cool tones.
It’s rich, detailed and absolutely packed with depth. Perfect for a feature wall or a full room if you’re feeling bold.

The Luxe Contrast: Industrial Glam Silver & Gold Cork Effect Wallpaper
This one adds the glamour punch.
The Industrial Glam Silver & Gold Cork Effect Wallpaper brings a textured, almost bark-like metallic surface that sparkles when the light hits it. It’s moody without being dark, glam without being brash.
It’s ideal for elevating smaller areas — behind shelving, in alcoves, behind a bed, or as a chic panel detail.

The Elegant Neutral: Silk Weave Opulent Gold Wallpaper
Where the other wallpapers are packed with pattern and texture, this one steps in as the calm, silky backdrop that ties everything together.
The Silk Weave Opulent Gold Wallpaper has that soft sheen that feels expensive but understated. It adds warmth without overpowering the room — perfect for balancing the cooler greys.

Soft Touches: Paul Moneypenny Tied Up Grey Cushion
You can’t have glamour without a bit of softness.
This Paul Moneypenny Tied Up Grey Cushion gives the scheme that plush, inviting texture. The bow detail adds a little boutique-hotel charm, and the tone sits perfectly between the deep navy charcoals and warm muted golds in the palette.

Paint Perfection: Crown Colour Swatches + “Striking” Metallic Gold
The paint colours in the mood board bring a gorgeous balance — from deep inky charcoal to soft putty and stone. They bridge the wallpapers effortlessly.
And then there’s the star:
Crafted by Crown “Striking” Metallic Gold Paint.
This stuff is chef’s kiss. It’s warm, lustrous, and adds that subtle gleam that brings the whole palette to life. Perfect for furniture upcycling, coving, borders, or even a metallic feature stripe.
A little goes a long way, but it makes a big impact.
Finishing Flourishes: Faux Florals
The final layer is all about styling, and the faux florals add that natural touch that keeps the scheme from feeling too polished.
Think muted ochres, dried-flower textures, soft neutrals — that organic, slightly wild finish that makes the space feel lived-in and relaxing.
