For 2025, the Pantone Color Institute selects PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort.
When it comes to furniture, Mocha Mousse works beautifully as a statement hue. A velvet sofa or an armchair in this shade can become the focal point of your living room, instantly elevating the space. Its richness makes it an ideal choice for upholstery, offering a neutral base with enough depth to stand out.
If you prefer a subtler approach, introduce Mocha Mousse through soft furnishings like cushions, throws, or curtains. These accents can be layered with complementary colours such as cream, taupe, or even muted blush tones for a sophisticated yet inviting look. The key is to let the colour create a tactile, cosy atmosphere that feels indulgent without being overwhelming.
While this shade can dominate a room, it also works well as a complementary accent. Mocha Mousse is incredibly versatile, pairing seamlessly with both warm and cool palettes. For a contemporary touch, I suggest combining it with soft blues or greens, creating a dynamic yet cohesive design. Alternatively, earthy tones like terracotta or mustard can highlight its natural warmth.
Introduce Mocha Mousse Through Small Furniture Pieces
Paint bar stools or upholster them in a Mocha Mousse colored fabric. Try introducing Mocha Mousse with painted cabinetry, accent furniture or even tableware. These subtle accents allow you to experiment with the colour without making a full commitment to large-scale changes.
