2025 Colour of the Year: How to Style This Year’s Biggest Shade
Pantone announced its highly anticipated Colour of the Year for 2025 as—drum roll, please—PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse! While this rich, earthy brown might be a “marmite” shade for some, we think it has a lot to offer. Inviting and beautifully versatile, Mocha Mousse is perfect for creating a space that feels cosy yet sophisticated.
"Mocha Mousse sits perfectly within our colour palette," says Kara, co-founder of Seddon and Davison. "It has a subtleness and richness to it that works beautifully with so many other tones. It’s one of those colours that feels effortless and has so much layering potential."
Whether you’re pairing it with complementary tones like walnut, honey, almond, and, of course, coffee, or letting it shine as a focal colour, we think Mocha Mousse is a versatile choice for 2025 interiors. Let’s explore how this shade works and some of our favourite pieces to bring its rich, inviting warmth into your home.
