Every year, color experts and trend forecasters announce a Color of the Year, sparking excitement and inspiring homeowners, designers, and decorators worldwide. For 2025, the Pantone Color of the Year is Mocha Mousse, a warm, earthy shade that exudes comfort and sophistication. Whether you're ready to fully embrace this stunning hue or prefer subtle accents, here are some creative ways to incorporate this trendsetting color into your home.


Choco Moose

Start Small: Decorative Accents

If you're hesitant to commit to painting walls or buying large furniture, start by introducing this rich tone through accessories. Think throw pillows, vases, picture frames, or candles. These small accents can add a touch of warmth without overwhelming your space.

Statement Walls

For a bold yet cozy touch, consider painting an accent wall in this year’s featured color. This works particularly well in living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms. Pair it with neutral tones like cream, gray, or beige to let the shade shine while maintaining balance.



Kitchen and Dining Areas

Transform your kitchen or dining room with subtle additions like dinnerware, linens, or even cabinetry in this trendy hue. A mocha-colored backsplash or set of barstools can elevate your kitchen into a trendy yet timeless space.



Bathroom Bliss

Bring a serene atmosphere to your bathroom with mocha-toned towels, shower curtains, or painted cabinetry. For a modern look, combine it with white tiles and natural wood accents.




Upgrade Your Upholstery

This earthy tone is an excellent choice for upholstery. Reupholster a chair or sofa, or opt for new curtains or area rugs in this shade. It adds a sense of richness and depth, especially when paired with metallic accents like gold or bronze.



Mix and Match

This versatile color pairs beautifully with a variety of shades, making it adaptable to different aesthetics. Combine it with:

  • Soft neutrals for a calm, inviting look.
  • Terracotta or ochre for a warm, earthy vibe.
  • Deep greens and blues for a grounded, nature-inspired palette.

7. Artwork and Wall Decor

Incorporate this warm shade through artwork or wall hangings. Abstract paintings, framed prints, or woven tapestries featuring this color can serve as focal points in any room.


8. Outdoor Spaces

Don’t forget your outdoor areas! Add mocha-colored elements to your patio or garden with cushions, planters, or outdoor rugs. This color complements natural greenery beautifully, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.



9. Lighting Fixtures

Consider lighting fixtures with mocha accents or lampshades in this shade. This subtle touch adds sophistication and ties the room together.



10. Go All In

For those ready to fully embrace Mocha Mousse, consider using it as the primary color in a room. Paint all the walls, choose matching furniture, and layer with complementary shades for a cohesive and impactful design.




Mocha Mousse, as the Pantone Color of the Year 2025, is a versatile and captivating choice that’s sure to make waves. While other paint companies may have their own picks for 2025, Pantone’s selection offers a universal appeal and inspiration.
