While festive decorations are the current topic of conversation, the design world is abuzz due to Pantone‘s latest revelation — their Color of the Year for 2025. This highly anticipated announcement, which influences everything from fashion to interior design, has become as much a year-end tradition as hanging holiday ornaments and wrapping presents.
The chosen hue, Mocha Mousse, embodies warmth and connection — a rich brown shade that evokes the comforting essence of coffee and chocolate and all things opulent. According to Pantone, this color selection reflects our collective desire for comfort and harmony in our living spaces.
The timing of this announcement during the holiday period seems particularly fitting, as many interior designers and homeowners begin planning their design strategies for the upcoming year. Mocha Mousse promises to bring a sense of nurturing warmth to our environments, while its neutral undertones make it an excellent foundation for various color combinations.
This shade can be incorporated through various elements — from statement furniture pieces to subtle accents in textiles and decorative items. Its versatility allows it to serve as either a dominant color or a complementary tone in any room.
Below, we’ve curated a selection of home furnishings and decorative pieces that showcase this inviting new color trend:
