EARTH:
Crown’s Pennas Snow wallpaper shimmers with a subtle pearlescent texture that adds quiet sophistication to any room. To enhance its airy elegance, Snowfall White OC-118 provides a crisp, gallery-like backdrop, while Balboa Mist OC-27 adds a soft, warm neutrality. For more depth, Stone Hearth CC-490 introduces cozy taupe undertones that balance the cool finish of the paper, and Clinton Brown HC-67 grounds the palette beautifully, adding a sense of contrast and luxury that highlights the paper’s metallic sheen.
York’s Hyacinth Leaf wallpaper features a lush botanical print with a natural rhythm and timeless charm. Earthy tones like Rural Earth 1239 and Hillcrest Tan 1078 echo the organic warmth of the design, creating a calm, nature-inspired retreat. For a deeper connection to the foliage, Brookside Moss 2145-30 enriches the green undertones, while Dakota Woods Green 2139-20 brings a dramatic forest feel that envelops the room in depth and tranquillity.
Thibaut’s Cork Metallic Gold wallpaper exudes glamour, with its organic cork texture shimmering under a veil of gold. Complement this opulence with Street Chic CSP-45, a refined greige that tempers the metallic glow, or turn up the drama with Caliente AF-290, a rich, fiery red that creates a stunning statement. For a modern edge, Black Beauty 2128-10 anchors the palette with contrast, while Hidden Valley 1134 softens the sheen with a touch of natural green harmony.

For an ethereal, slightly whimsical mood, Soft Chinchilla 2135-50 and Summer Shower 2135-60 bring gentle pastel undertones that mirror the wallpaper’s graceful palette, creating a calm, cohesive space.
Masureel’s Marcuina wallpaper evokes the elegance of natural stone with its marbled grays and smoky veining. Pair it with Calm 2111-70 to keep the atmosphere light and modern, or London Fog 1541 to echo its misty sophistication. Silver Fox 2108-50 deepens the palette for a layered, upscale look, while Overcoat CC-544 introduces a moody richness that turns the marble effect into a truly luxurious statement.
This ethereal mural from Cole & Son transforms clouds into art, capturing a dreamy dusk sky awash in soft pink and violet tones.

York’s Onyx Strata brings modern luxury to the walls, with its mineral-inspired layers and rich tonal variation. Soft blues like Palladian Blue HC-144 lend a serene counterpoint to the paper’s texture, while Peacock Feathers 724 and Pacific Sea Teal 2049-10 enhance its jewel-like vibrancy. For a lighter touch, Bella Blue 720 refreshes the scheme with oceanic brightness that keeps the look sophisticated yet inviting.
