Pantone Color of the Year 2025: Mocha Mousse in Interior Design
For 2025, the Pantone Color Institute has unveiled PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse as the Color of the Year. This warm, earthy brown radiates richness and comfort, evoking the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee. Its grounding essence speaks to a universal longing for connection, harmony, and a sense of home.
“For Pantone Color of the Year 2025, we look to a mellow brown hue whose inherent richness and sensorial and comforting warmth extends further into our desire for comfort, and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others,” says Laurie Pressman , Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute.
In interior design, Mocha Mousse offers remarkable versatility. It effortlessly complements neutral palettes while also standing out as a bold statement hue. From cozy living rooms to serene kitchens and intimate retreats, this shade infuses any space with an inviting warmth.
When it comes to flooring, Mocha Mousse-inspired tones bring depth and sophistication to both modern and traditional interiors. Rich brown planks, such as those in RIVA Spain ’s engineered hardwood collections, beautifully enhance natural materials, adding warmth and texture. Paired with cream or terracotta accents, these floors create a timeless ambiance that’s both elegant and comforting.
Whether refreshing a single room or transforming an entire home, Mocha Mousse lays the foundation for interiors that feel as soothing as a warm cup of cocoa.
