Mocha Mousse – Pantone Colour of the Year 2025
Every year, Pantone announces a new colour that sets the tone for interiors, fashion and design. In 2025, that colour is Mocha Mousse (PANTONE 17-1230) — a warm, earthy brown that immediately brings comfort and calm into your home.
At Onlinetapijten, we always keep an eye on colour trends. But we also believe that trends only matter if they work in everyday interiors — from modern to classic, from rural homes to city apartments.
Mocha Mousse? This is one we love.
What Kind of Colour Is Mocha Mousse?
This new Pantone colour is a soft, chocolatey brown with undertones of warm taupe and milk coffee. It feels:
-
Calm and grounding
-
Cosy, but not too dark
-
A perfect neutral for pairing with lots of materials and colours
Whether you’re styling a full living room or just want to add a warm touch to your bedroom or hallway, this is an easy colour to bring in through a rug.
Why a Rug Is the Perfect Way to Introduce Mocha Mousse
A rug is often the finishing touch in a room — but it can also be the starting point for your colour story. A mocha-coloured rug brings:
-
Warmth underfoot (especially on light floors or concrete)
-
Natural softness in tone and texture
-
A timeless base for layering other colours or patterns
It doesn’t steal attention — but it brings the whole room together.
How to Combine Mocha Mousse in Your Interior
Here are a few simple combinations we recommend from our experience:
✔ With Beige & Cream
You create a soft, layered look — warm, welcoming and balanced. Ideal for bedrooms or cosy living spaces.
✔ With Olive or Sage Green
Perfect if you want a natural, earthy palette. The green gives life, the mocha gives calm.
✔ With White or Sand
Gives contrast and freshness. A great choice for modern or Scandinavian-style homes.
✔ With Dusty Rose, Ochre or Burnt Orange
Want a bit more colour? These tones add depth without clashing. Use them in cushions, curtains or wall paint.
