Moving away from the invigorating and energetic colours chosen for the previous years, Pantone have allocated something softer and more classic this year, in the form of Mocha Mousse.
This warm brown exudes a sense of comfort and indulgence – like being snuggled up on a Sunday evening, eating a warm chocolate pudding. 

“It is a foundational shade that creates a base upon which to combine with other colours. Infused with a sensorial warmth it evokes a feeling of the comfort of home whether appearing in soft touch weaves, cushy velvets, on flooring or a painted wall.”

Laurie Pressman, VP Pantone Colour Institute

Looking towards interior design specifically, we see this shade being perfect for cosy recharging spaces such as the bedroom, or living / TV room.
It is all about curling up and sinking in… Finding solace, comfort and relaxation.

Take a look below at our lookbook below for some ideas on how the base palette of Mocha Mousse translates into interior styles.

  • Tactile fabrics such as lush velvet upholstery, mohair throws and tufted rugs create a feeling of luxury.
  • Timbers with a stronger graining finish strengthens the ties to nature.
  • Limewash or clay finish paint introduce an artisan touch.
