For 2025, the Pantone Color Institute has chosen PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse as their colour of the year. A rich, warm brown that evokes a sense of indulgence. Reminiscent of the comforting qualities of chocolate and coffee, it satisfies our craving for warmth and cosiness, especially in our homes.

If you're interested in incorporating this versatile shade into your home interior, check out our tips below. 

Paint it 

Brown is the colour of the earth, so it is great for rooms where you want to relax in, giving it a grounding and comfortable atmosphere. Rooms painted in mocha shades are not just warm but also sophisticated. Consider the size of your room when decorating in this colour, larger rooms can handle a lot of brown but for smaller rooms, less is more. So maybe just opt for a feature wall.

Add furniture

When you think of brown furniture, wood may come to mind. However, think of sofas, armchairs or even your kitchen cabinets. Brown can be quite rich and heavy in large quantities, so balancing it with lighter tones can keep the space from feeling too dark. So when using brown furniture, pair with light-colour walls and textiles. You can also introduce accent colours to make your brown furniture pop! Think vibrant teals, mustard yellows or burnt oranges.

Soft furnishings

If you’re not ready to fully make a statement with Mocha Mousse, why not try adding some soft furnishings in this warming tone. Brown is a versatile colour which pairs with many other tones which may already be in your home. Consider combining natural textiles like linen cushions and tablecloths with knitted or woollen textures to add that extra cosy, homely feel.

If you enjoy keeping your home interior on-trend, consider adding a touch of Mocha Mousse to your interior. Using Pantone’s Colour of the Year, you can achieve a balanced, cosy and inviting atmosphere.
