Each year, the Pantone Colour Institute selects a shade that embodies the collective mood of the moment, setting the tone for design trends across fashion, interiors, and beyond. For 2025, that colour is PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse.
Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Colour Institute, said, “Underpinned by our desire for everyday pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence. Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe.”
But how can you incorporate this sumptuous colour into your décor? Here are some stylish ways to introduce Mocha Mousse into your home.
1. Luxurious Textiles and Rugs
A great way to embrace this year’s colour trend is through texture-rich textiles. Plush throws, velvet cushions, and soft drapes in Mocha Mousse create a sense of warmth and refinement. To truly elevate your space, consider adding a sheepskin rug in Mocha Mousse from Hide Rugs – customisable to match your exact colour preferences. If you’re looking for a cowhide, reindeer, or springbok rug that aligns with this luxurious shade, our expert team can help you find the perfect piece. Please contact us with any questions.
2. Statement Walls and Accent Pieces
For those ready to make a bold statement, painting a feature wall in Mocha Mousse instantly adds depth and sophistication. This rich hue pairs beautifully with creamy neutrals, soft greys, and even muted blues. If a full wall feels too daring, opt for accent pieces like a leather ottoman, ceramic vases, or a beautifully framed artwork featuring Mocha Mousse tones.
3. Layering with Natural Elements
Mocha Mousse is inherently tied to nature, making it an ideal colour for blending with organic materials. Incorporate wooden furniture, woven baskets, and earthenware ceramics to enhance the earthy elegance of this shade. A cowhide or goat hide rug in brown tones can ground the space with rustic charm, while also adding a sophisticated touch.
4. Subtle Touches for a Cohesive Look
Not ready to fully commit to this trend? Small details can still make an impact! Try adding Mocha Mousse through cushion covers, lampshades, table runners, or even a sophisticated leather-bound journal on your coffee table. A beautiful bespoke sheepskin rug in this shade can tie the whole look together, ensuring your space feels effortlessly stylish and pulled together.
