2025 Home Decor Trends: How to Incorporate Pantone’s Mocha Mousse While Staying True to Your Style

It sure is exciting when the Colour of the Year is announced, and this year, we vouch for Pantone’s choice!

As Pantone chooses their Colour of the Year, there’s usually some back and forth about the hue that deserves the title. But for 2025, the team quickly aligned on Mocha Mousse. This warm and mellow brown reflects a desire for nourishment in every facet of our lives. Especially through the simple pleasures.

In this blog post, we’ll talk about 2025 home decor trends that can help you add this colour to your space.

How to Embrace Mocha Mousse

Pantone’s Color of the Year is earthy but neutral; sophisticated but versatile; simply brown but so visually intriguing. It has this rich chocolatey hue which naturally exudes warmth. So, it can make your space cosy and inviting during the colder months. We especially love mocha mousse because it works so well with our favourite interior design style: the modern rustic design. In fact, using this style is one great way to add the Pantone hue to your interior!

1. Layer Textures

The modern rustic design loves layers. And Mocha Mousse provides just the ideal backdrop for these. You want to pair this earthy hue with natural materials, like reclaimed wood and rattan; these help emphasize Mocha Mousse’s organic appeal. If you like to host, our Phoebe Oval Jute Placemats are a good way to achieve this.

To create the effect of layered textures, we recommend using overlapping colours and patterns, where the combination of a natural-coloured placemat and plates in earthy tones adds a rustic and special touch to the table design. The choice of cutlery is also important. This season's trend is investing in details that stand out, such as our London Rose Cooper Cutlery Set.

2. Add Home Accents

Home accessories really help decor, especially with a laid-back Mocha Mousse palette, feel fresh and modern. That’s where brass and iron come in. Their versatility ensures they can be used in different parts of the house, such as hallways, fireplaces, coffee tables, kitchen worktops, or dining table centerpieces, adding both elegance and functionality to any space.

We especially love candlesticks! Like the Margo Rustic Candle Holders Set paired with a wooden serving tray (a good pick is the Lyon Wood Oval Serving Tray With Handles).

If you’re more in the modern rustic range, our Jenna Candle Holders Set is truly striking and works beautifully with the Mocha Mousse palette, creating a bold and contemporary look.

Dining with Mocha Mousse

Don’t forget your dining experience when integrating Mocha Mousse. Subtle accents, like napkin rings (The Elara Napkin Rings Set is a must this season), make such a difference. They help add Mocha Mousse as an accent without overwhelming the space. Layer the table with natural fabric linens; this keeps the focus on the warm richness of Mocha Mousse. Also, complement the setting with Lisbon Rustic Cutlery Sets for a luxurious effect.

Bonus advice: Black, although it may seem unlikely, pairs wonderfully with Mocha Mousse. If you’re aiming to design a rustic, eye-catching table, this is a tip you won’t want to miss. Our Margo Candle Holders in Black and Jenna Black Candle Holders Set are an excellent choice.

And, that’s a wrap! Use these 2025 home decor trends to add Pantone’s Mocha Mousse to your home! 🤎
