Embracing Comfort, Connection, and Sophistication in Interior Design
Each year, Pantone reveals a colour that resonates with the global zeitgeist. For 2025, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse has captured our collective mood—a rich, warming brown with undertones of indulgence and tranquillity.
Mocha Mousse is grounding and aspirational, perfectly reflecting our yearning for connection, harmony, and everyday luxury. Mocha Mousse embodies thoughtful indulgence and sensorial richness. It creates a comforting backdrop while retaining a sophisticated presence. Its chocolate and coffee-inspired tones evoke warmth and contentment, making it ideal for designing spaces that prioritise wellness and relaxation.
If you’re renting or have existing furniture, consider using Mocha Mousse in smaller elements like cushions, rugs, artwork or bedding. These can be easily added or removed to match your current space. Its earthy warmth complements minimalist aesthetics while providing a cosy atmosphere.
For depth, pair it with natural materials like walnut wood, linen, and rattan. Introduce textiles in rich mocha shades for a cohesive yet dynamic look.
Combine Mocha Mousse with shades from Pantone’s suggested palettes: Floral Pathways: Incorporate soft greens and blush pinks for a fresh, romantic feel, and Relaxed Elegance: Blend creamy whites and deep charcoals for a refined, modern vibe.
Upholstered furniture in Mocha Mousse brings sophistication without overpowering. Choose plush sofas or accent chairs to anchor your space. Add visual interest with mocha-hued throw pillows, ceramics, and artwork. Use metallic accents like brass or gold to elevate the luxurious undertones.
Mocha Mousse is a versatile colour that adapts to different design styles, from rustic retreats to urban modernity. Its ability to transition between cosy and opulent makes it a perfect choice for homeowners seeking balance and harmony in their interiors. This balance brings a sense of peace and tranquility to your living spaces.
As we embrace Pantone’s Mocha Mousse, we step into a world of thoughtful design and personal luxury—reminding us that indulgence can be simple yet deeply fulfilling.
