Have you heard the news? The Pantone Color Institute recently announced that Mocha Mousse is the Color of the Year 2025. This earth-centric brown hue is a lovely neutral that’s sure to fill homes with warm, decadent design touches. Let’s take a closer look at this year’s top color!
All About Mocha Mousse
The color of 2025 is indulgent and delicious, offering a warm, earthy vibe. Pantone introduced their selection by describing it in the following way: “It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort.”
What’s in Store for Home Design?
We constantly see old trends come back in style. (We’re looking at you, 90s fashion!) It’s no different for the home design world. For the past decade, we’ve seen cool-toned gray take center stage. This evolved into greige (a cross between gray and beige), and now brown is back in front. It’s a full circle moment.
Involve the Whole Color Family
With brown, color that is considered a neutral, it’s quite easy to find colors that pair well with it. But, if you’re not interested in a wide color palette, choose the subtle look of a monochromatic palette. Create a design that flows by choosing hues from the same color family. There will be gorgeous depth and dimension without harsh contrast, creating a calm, comfortable space.
Spice Things Up with Texture
It’s easy for brown to get lost in design—after all, it is a neutral. If you want Mocha Mousse to “pop” in your design, consider textures. Our favorite pops of brown are metallics, but you can also make a statement with upholstery, accent walls, rugs, and building materials.
Perfectly Unfinished
Natural, unfinished touches are a hit in home design, and we don’t see this trend fizzling out anytime soon. Raw woods and live edge stone are two popular design choices, as well as stucco and brick and matte finished elements. If you’re intrigued by this style, search for southwestern, wabi sabi, Mediterranean rustic, or tuscan influence design ideas!
