Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2025 is “Mocha Mousse” – a warm, soft brown that brings a sense of comfort and ease. This rich shade draws inspiration from earthy tones like terracotta, beige, and muted browns, combining them into a versatile and timeless colour.
Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Colour Institute, explains in the Colour of the Year 2025 announcement: “For Pantone Colour of the Year 2025, we look to a mellow brown hue whose inherent richness and sensorial and comforting warmth extends further into our desire for comfort, and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others.”
Unlike bolder shades like burnt orange or sepia, Mocha Mousse has a more understated and elegant feel, making it easy to incorporate into any contemporary home. It blends elements of bohemian Moroccan style with the clean, simple lines of Scandinavian minimalism, creating a look that feels both modern and inviting. Our main takeaway from Mocha Mousse is that it reminds us to stay grounded, create inviting spaces, and embrace warm, comforting colours that encourage sharing moments with loved ones.
Add Mocha Mousse to your space through decorative pieces
Incorporating Mocha Mousse into your home doesn’t mean committing to a full makeover. Start with decorative accent pieces to embrace the trend without going all in. Items like cushions, throws, or small home decor can add warmth and softness to your space.
To create a harmonious look, consider pairing Mocha Mousse with a complementary colour palette, such as those suggested by Pantone. Combining it with warm whites, beige, sand, taupe, terracotta, or muted browns can enhance the calming and inviting atmosphere.
For a bolder approach, larger furniture pieces in Mocha Mousse or similar shades can set the tone for your home’s overall aesthetic. Whether it’s a tall display cabinet or an elegant dining chair, these choices will help create a calming and comfortable atmosphere in your space.
