The Pantone Color of the Year has always been more than just a design trend. It’s a reflection of the global mood and culture. Each year, the Pantone Color Institute selects a shade that captures the spirit of the times. This sparks conversations about our collective experiences, desires, and inspirations, influencing the design world, from fashion to product design and of course interiors. For 2025, Pantone presents PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a rich, warming brown that encapsulates connection, comfort, and harmony.
Why Mocha Mousse?
In a world seeking solace in life’s simple pleasures, Mocha Mousse offers a sense of grounding and indulgence. With its subtle sophistication, this mellow brown hue reminds us of the sensory delight found in a warm cup of coffee or the decadence of chocolate.
Described by Pantone as “thoughtfully indulgent,” Mocha Mousse strikes the perfect balance between aspirational luxury and unpretentious comfort. It is a shade that invites us to slow down and connect. To find joy in the small but meaningful moments of our daily lives.
As Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute, explains:
“PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence… a mellow brown hue whose inherent richness and comforting warmth extends into our desire for comfort and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others.”
Mocha Mousse in Interior Design
Mocha Mousse is as versatile as it is inviting, making it a natural fit for interior spaces. Its earthy elegance can be used as a statement shade or a harmonious neutral base. It pairs beautifully with both minimalist and richly detailed designs.
Here are some ways to incorporate this comforting hue into your home:
- Walls: Transform your space with the warming embrace of Mocha Mousse. It works beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas, creating a sense of comfort and sophistication.
- Furniture and Accents: Look for furniture pieces or soft furnishings like throw pillows, rugs, and blankets in Mocha Mousse to infuse your home with its soothing tone.
- Layering Palettes: Pair Mocha Mousse with creamy whites, terracotta, soft greens, or even metallics like gold for a luxurious yet grounded aesthetic.
