PANTONE Colour of the Year 2025: 'Mocha Mousse'

A Timeless Neutral for Minimalistic Interiors

As an interior designer or architect, you understand that colour is more than just a visual element—it’s an emotional and functional cornerstone of great design. That’s why Pantone’s Colour of the Year always captures attention, setting the tone for the design world. For 2025, the Pantone Colour Institute has selected PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a soft, warming brown with a sensorial richness that speaks to our collective desire for comfort, connection, and harmony.

This hue is a natural extension of my creative vision where my work is rooted in minimalism and timeless elegance. Let me introduce you to 'Mocha Mousse' and share how it can enhance your design projects and how I am using this warm colour in my new exclusive art collection.

Timeless elegance with a sense of comfort

Perfect for creating interiors that feel warm, grounding and luxurious.

'MOCHA MOUSSE'

Why Mocha Mousse is Perfect for Warm Minimalistic Interiors

1. A Timeless Neutral for Enduring Design

'Mocha Mousse' is not just a trend—it’s a colour that transcends time. Its warm, earthy tones evoke feelings of calm and security while seamlessly blending with other neutrals. As Pantone describes, this hue empowers designers to “create moments of luxury that may be intimate in scale but can extend a sense of indulgence throughout the day.” Its versatility ensures it remains relevant for years, adapting to shifts in style while maintaining its grounded elegance.

2. Harmony and Balance

This soft brown reflects the beauty of natural materials like wood and stone, aligning with the minimalist philosophy of simplicity and authenticity. It creates spaces that feel nurturing and balanced, ideal for clients seeking interiors that promote well-being.

3. Sensory and Emotional Appeal

'Mocha Mousse' is described by Pantone as “imbued with a sensorial richness,” inspiring feelings of comfort and tranquillity. In minimalistic interiors, this colour fosters a sense of quiet luxury, making it the perfect foundation for serene and intentional spaces.

How to Incorporate 'Mocha Mousse' in Minimalistic Interiors

1. Monochromatic Elegance

'Mocha Mousse' works beautifully as a standalone colour in a monochromatic scheme. Its soft warmth creates depth and sophistication without overwhelming the space. Use it for walls, upholstery, or statement pieces like minimalist artwork to achieve a harmonious and inviting atmosphere.

2. Layered Neutrals

Pair 'Mocha Mousse' with other natural tones, such as soft whites, beige, and taupe, to create a layered and textured look. This combination enhances the warmth of minimalistic interiors while maintaining an uncluttered and serene aesthetic.

3. Dramatic Contrast

For a more striking approach, combine 'Mocha Mousse' with black or deep charcoal tones. This contrast highlights its richness and creates visual interest while staying true to the principles of minimalism.

4. Textural Accents

Introduce 'Mocha Mousse' through materials like leather, wood, or woven textiles to amplify its natural, organic appeal. These elements add depth to minimalist spaces and emphasize the colour’s earthy sophistication.

How I’m Incorporating 'Mocha Mousse' into My Art

As an artist specialising in minimalistic wall sculptures and bespoke pieces for high-end interiors, I’m excited to include 'Mocha Mousse' in my work for a limited time.

  • Monochromatic Masterpieces: 'Mocha Mousse' will take centre stage in a series of monochromatic artworks, showcasing its ability to stand alone as a striking focal point. These pieces will highlight the interplay of light, shadow, and texture, amplifying the colour’s subtle elegance.
  • Harmonious Combinations: I’ll be pairing 'Mocha Mousse' with my existing palette of soft natural tones and black, creating pieces that range from serene and understated to bold and dramatic. These combinations allow for versatile integration into various design schemes, whether you’re designing a cozy residential retreat or a sleek commercial space.

Why 'Mocha Mousse' Matters for Your Projects
