The Pantone Color of the Year selects a color to represent each year and promotes designers and homeowners alike to push the boundaries of design. They will select a color that fits the global mood and that can be used to nurture creativity for the upcoming year. In 2025, Pantone has chosen Pantone 17-1230 Mocha Mousse. This rich brown is one of the more neutral colors on the list of colors of the year, which may make it easier to include it in your home.
Including seasonal or trending colors in interior design is nothing new. Adding new pieces to your home that have trending colors is something that brings many people joy and boosts the visual appeal of a home. If you want to include the Pantone Color of the Year in your home, here are some tips to integrate it effectively.
Create An Accent Wall
The easiest way to include a Pantone Color in your home is to paint a surface inside the home. While some colors may not be as easy to blend with your flooring, other paint colors, or furniture, Mocha Mousse is a neutral option that will blend into most homes. This earthy tone on an accent wall will bring warmth into your home color palette. Once you paint your accent wall, you can find small decor pieces that compliment the warm undertone of the Pantone Color. Painting a wall with Mocha Mousse will make your space feel relaxed as it pairs well with other soothing colors like creams or ambers.
Upgrade Kitchen Appliances
Pots and pans, mixers, or utensils are used frequently so it is possible they are wearing out and need to be replaced. Bring the Pantone Color into your home by upgrading appliances to this color. While this is a more subtle move, including the color in your kitchen is one of the most affordable ways to mix in Mocha Mousse. Try tablecloths, placemats, or utensils to infuse your home with sophistication.
Choose Pantone Color Textiles
Pillows, throws, and rugs are a budget-friendly way to experiment with the Pantone Color of the Year. You won’t have to make a big commitment to the color and are able to layer these pieces with existing decor. Warm-colored neutrals are great for textiles because they are typically used to add depth and warmth to a room. Including Mocha Mousse in your textiles is a great way to get more use out of these pieces, because it will most likely flow well with a future Color of the Year. Many companies create specific products in the Pantone Color of the Year to help consumers integrate them into their daily lives.
Work The Color Into Multiple Rooms Of Your Home
Incorporating small pieces in multiple areas of the home will make the color look more intentional. Small vases, artwork, comforters, or DIY projects can all include Mocha Mousse to showcase this color in a personal way. No rule states you must include Mocha Mousse as a statement piece. While some homeowners may want to go bold, you can incorporate this special color by finding a textile with a multi-colored pattern, a single vase in your living room, or a decor piece that was created by your hand.
Find A Wallpaper With The Color Of The Year
Since many brands adopt the Color of the Year, you will be able to find wall coverings that include Mocha Mousse. Many wallpaper companies hire local artists to design patterns and design elements that homeowners will love. Even if you don’t find a company that specifically includes the Pantone Color, there are many wallpaper options that may turn to Mocha Mousse in the new year or a close version.
Adding wallpaper to your home that includes multiple colors makes it easier to implement your existing furniture. Many wallpapers include floral or greenery in the pattern, which means that Mocha Mousse won’t be the focal color. Often, wallpaper can be integrated more easily than a simple paint color because there will be many colors you can match.
