Hues of warmth and style

Rich and regal. Subtle yet splendid. Elegant and epic. Mocha Mousse glides in honeyed tones, cinnamon roasts and berry shades to breathe elegance into your spaces.

Here’s how you can make the Pantone Colour of the Year 2025 bring in a suave complexion in your spaces.

On walls

The earthy undertones of the colour share a deep knit with Nature, bringing in a luxurious feel. “Mocha Mousse transforms the mood of any room, wstarting with the very foundation of an interior. This shade makes for a stunning accent wall, masking the hollow feel of all-white spaces,” says interior designer Minnie Bhatt.

“Pair it with ivory or cream walls to balance the richness of the shade and enhance its elegance. Add fixtures like mirrors or brass motifs to heighten the sense of luxury and create a focal point. This hue can be incorporated through statement furniture pieces like plush sofas, armchairs or ottomans,” she explains.

Go light

From brown urlis with tealights and marigolds to votives with sandy glaze to aromatic candles with hand-pressed flowers, you can play with the elements of light and mocha.

Says interior stylist, Meghna Bhimrajka, “Candles exude a warm glow, and lend a cosy complexion to spaces. Bring in the flickers in berrylicious shades, cinnamon and star anise to lend a touch of mocha mousse to your surroundings. They have a natural ability to make any room feel warm and cozy. It is the easiest and most inexpensive way of adding the colour to your home.”

Line it up

From toasted toffee rugs to pine-nut throws to chocolate brown napkins, bring in the melee.

“Choose textured table runners and placemats in mocha mousse to create a luxurious base for your table,” says Meghna. “This colour adds depth and warmth to your dining area while complementing both modern and traditional settings, making it incredibly versatile. Bring in tinted mocha mousse glassware, perfect for serving cocktails or water. These pieces add subtle elegance and are ideal for enhancing your table’s aesthetics.”

Pattern it

Too much is overkill. “Opt for patterns that subtly integrate this colour alongside other earthy tones or contrasting shades like teal or emerald to add vibrancy and depth to your interiors,” suggests Minnie. “Mocha Mousse is an excellent choice for flooring or tiling. It is especially good in spaces where warmth is desired - kitchen and bathroom. In outdoor furniture, planters, or accent walls, this hue creates a design that harmonises with Nature, making your outdoor areas feel serene and connected to earth.”
