Pantone has unveiled its Color of the Year for 2025: PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warm and rich brown hue that exudes sophistication and comfort. This versatile shade is poised to make a significant impact in interior design, particularly in flooring choices, offering a timeless and inviting aesthetic.
Incorporating Mocha Mousse into Interior Design
Mocha Mousse serves as an excellent foundation for various design styles, from minimalist to maximalist. Its earthy tone brings a sense of grounding and warmth to spaces, making it ideal for creating cozy and welcoming environments. When used on walls or as accent pieces, it pairs well with neutral colors like beige, cream, and taupe, as well as bolder hues such as deep blues and greens, allowing for a harmonious and balanced palette.
Mocha Mousse in Flooring:
In flooring, Mocha Mousse offers a practical and stylish option. Its rich brown shade can be incorporated through various materials:
Hardwood Floors: Opting for hardwood flooring in Mocha Mousse adds elegance and durability to living spaces. The deep brown tones highlight the natural grain of the wood, providing a classic yet contemporary look.
Some great wood manufacturers that provide such rich coloring are Mirage, Kahrs and Lauzon.
Carpeting: Choosing carpets in this shade brings warmth and softness underfoot, making it perfect for bedrooms and living rooms. The color also helps in concealing stains and wear, maintaining a fresh appearance over time.
You can choose carpets with multiple colors that have accents of Mocha Mouse like Prestige Mills or Stanton or go with a totally solid look in either a cut pile or loop pile carpet like the options offered by Masland, Fabrica, and Anderson Tuftex.
Tiles and Vinyl: For areas prone to moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms, tiles or vinyl flooring, such as COREtec, in Mocha Mousse offer a water-resistant and easy-to-clean solution without compromising on style.
Complementary Design Elements:
To enhance the beauty of Mocha Mousse flooring, consider the following design elements:
Area Rugs: Layering area rugs with patterns or textures can add depth and interest, breaking up the monotony and providing visual appeal.
Metallic Accents: Incorporating metallic finishes like brass or bronze in fixtures and decor items can add a touch of luxury and contrast against the warm brown backdrop.
Natural Materials: Using materials such as leather, stone, or woven textiles complements the earthy feel of Mocha Mousse, creating a cohesive and harmonious design.
