A relaxing and floral versatility

Floral Pathway
The second palette, Floral Pathway, is inspired by the natural and romantic hues of flowers, incorporating shades like soft pink, lavender, and sage green. This blend adds a touch of freshness and poetry to interiors, transforming living spaces into cozy, charming retreats.
Both palettes pair beautifully with wooden surfaces, highlighting the versatility of Mocha Mousse.

- Warm-toned parquet: Brown Loft, Musk, and Sahara from the Elegant ‘wax effect’ line pair splendidly with both the Relaxed Elegance and Floral Pathway palettes, enhancing the warmth and comfort in spaces like living rooms and dining rooms.
