When it comes to picking colours for your home, Pantone might not be the first place you think of.
But with over 10,000 colours in their catalogue, they have the right shade for you no matter what style you’re thinking of.
As well as their impressive shade index, each year they also pick a Pantone Colour of the Year to showcase what they believe will be in the spotlight for the coming months.
In 2025, that colour is … Mocha Mousse.
Described as a ‘simple and comforting’, this warm brown tone can stand alone or as a foundation for a number of colour palettes and applications.
Pantone Colour Institute Vice President Laurie Pressman said “This is a colour that’s honest. It’s authentic. We believe in this. It’s a colour we see in nature. We know it’s real.”
Think that Mocha Mousse is the colour for you? Keep reading for some hints and tips on how to incorporate this new trend into your home.
While a brown kitchen might not be the first thing that comes to mind, why not bring in some warm accents to compliment your existing cupboards? Terracotta bowls and wooden chopping boards will add a rustic feel without breaking the budget.
Your living room is the perfect space to refresh your style easily with new soft furnishings. Simply swapping out cushion covers or adding new curtains can instantly transform the room—no paintbrush required!
With Mocha Mousse bringing a warm cosy vibe, the perfect place to embrace it is the bedroom. Use warm earthy tones in your bedding and cushions to help create a calm comforting environment for when you want to unwind at the end of the day. Using this as a central focus, it then becomes easy to tie into the rest of your room using accessories and furnishings.
If you’re feeling bold and want to take the plunge with warm mocha walls, then we’ve got you covered.
