Pantone’s Colour of the Year: Mocha Mousse
Back in December 2024, Pantone introduced Mocha Mousse as their 2025 colour of the year. It is just as decadent and enticing as its namesake. This earthy brown is infused with warmth and richness, evoking the indulgent comfort of cacao, chocolate, and coffee. The colour is meant to connect us with nature and simple pleasures, bringing a thoughtful elegance to design.
In interiors, Mocha Mousse shines as a life-affirming anchor. Its gentle depth brings both tranquility and sophistication to living spaces, dining rooms, bedrooms, and home offices alike. For living rooms, consider using it on the walls paired with cream sofas, plush velvet furnishings, heavy rugs, and brass or bronze metal accents to cultivate a cozy yet refined sanctuary.
In dining areas, this hue introduces warmth and elegance. Whether on dining chairs, table accents, or wall treatments, Mocha Mousse harmonizes beautifully with matte black fixtures for a modern take, or with natural wood textures for a more casual vibe.
Bedrooms benefit from Mocha Mousse as a grounding tone. Bedding, curtains, or walls in this hue, layered with taupe, blush, or ivory, creates a serene retreat environment. Soft, warm lighting enhances its soothing elegance.
In home offices, walls in Mocha Mousse fosters calm focus and mature sophistication. Combine with light wood furniture, lush greenery, and black detailing for a balanced, stylish workspace.
Ultimately, Mocha Mousse offers a timeless neutral that elevates interior spaces with its rich, comforting allure and versatile pairing potential. In the months since its introduction, we’ve seen Mocha Mousse popping up all over the world of interior design furnishings. Read on for a collection of our favourite pieces in this delicious shade.
