Introducing the 2025 Pantone Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse
After much excitement and anticipation, Pantone has announced their 2025 color of the year! Pantone Mocha Mousse 17-1230 was chosen to represent a new year that designers and style enthusiasts predict will usher in a shared desire for comforting indulgence, rich sensations, and natural warmth. Inspired by an appreciation for self care and treating yourself to the kinds of experiences that fill the senses and feel like home, Mocha Mousse pairs perfectly with several of our top furniture design trends for 2025 too. This cozy and versatile hue invites you to take your time, revel in your curiosity, and imbue life with moments of serenity, reflection, and thoughtful care. With five curated palettes to showcase Mocha Mousse in all of its decadent simplicity, there are so many ways to incorporate this truly sensual shade into your interior design and home decor this year.
Get Indulgent with Relaxed Elegance
Understated in the most elegant of ways, this laid-back Mocha Mousse color palette offers the very best in lightly roasted neutral tones. The spectrum showcases how well our color of the year can round out a more subdued range of luxurious hues with depth and structure. An excellent choice for textured furniture upholstery, wool decor, or rich leather and suede pieces, this can be a soothing foundation color palette for your home that feels calm and inviting.
Stroll in Sophistication with Floral Pathways
The beauty of this Mocha Mousse color palette lies in its delicate nod to nature, and subtle hints of new springtime growth. A range of floral tones that are both soft and grounded, Floral Pathways asks you to breathe deeply, and cherish the organic world around you. With light blues, cool greens, and lovely pinks to complement the earthier side of Mocha Mousse, this palette goes hand-in-hand with the organic shapes design trend we’re sure to see more of in 2025. Feature it in conjunction with lighter wood furniture for an especially nature-inspired aesthetic.
Create Harmony with Uniquely Balanced
Vibrant pops of warm color blend in effortlessly with the cooling calm of more subtle shades in the Uniquely Balanced palette. Here, Mocha Mousse offsets a wider range of seemingly contrasting colors, and connects them all together in perfect harmony. You might try these tones for an eye-catching accent chair, or woven into a handcrafted rug to maintain a feeling of balance and accord in your space. Its versatile elements also make this color palette ideal for home accents, decorative pieces, and complementary textiles.
Dig into Decadence with Deliciousness
What could be more tempting than a mixture of savory sweets, velvety delights, and delectable treats? In the Deliciousness color palette, Mocha Mousse fits right in with fellow dessert-inspired tones to impart cheery sensations, and mouth-watering enjoyment for any room that incorporates them. A touch of nostalgic fun, rooted by the warm good taste of our color of the year, this palette highlights the importance of making time for a little indulgence now and then. You might consider it as a pairing for darker wood dining furniture, or rooms where light-hearted entertaining and deep conversation are always on the menu.
Savor The Classics With Subtle Contrasts
Timeless and graceful with a refined sense of integrity, this Mocha Mousse palette is tailor-made for those with a more classic approach to interior design. Easy breezy blues and grays contrast our rich brown hue for a sensible effect that feels polished and confident, but still approachable. With our Urban Natural workshop partners who specialize in expertly crafted, heirloom quality furniture that’s built to stand the test of time, this color palette lends itself especially well to both mid-century modern, and vintage-inspired designs.
This new year, let the enticing versatility of Pantone’s Mocha Mouse empower your furniture and home decor creativity. Be sure to check out our currently trending designs too, since many of them already embody the warmth, connection, and comfort of 2025’s thematic color.
