Design experts note that this trend thrives on texture layering: pair a matte Mocha Mousse ceramic bowl with a linen table runner or set a velvet cushion atop a leather armchair—each finish plays off the other, adding depth without clashing. The color also harmonizes with soft neutrals (cream, sand) and muted greens, making it easy to integrate into existing spaces: a single matte Mocha Mousse candle holder can warm up a minimalist shelf, while a set of linen curtains in the hue transforms a bright room into a cozy cocoon.
As Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse (17-1230) isn’t just a hue—it’s a mood: cozy, grounded, and effortlessly sophisticated. This creamy, earthy brown (evoking notes of cacao and warm coffee) has taken over interiors, paired with matte finishes, velvety textures, and natural materials (think linen, leather, and raw clay) to craft spaces that feel both curated and lived-in.
