Pantone trend colour 2025
Mocha Mousse as a base colour for modern working environments
The renowned US Pantone Institute chose Mocha Mousse as this year's colour of the year. This colour between brown and beige not only brings warmth and elegance to fashion and design, but also sets new impulses for office design. This deep, earthy shade is a perfect addition to any workspace that needs to exude both comfort and stylish professionalism.
Using Mocha Mousse in office design
- Wall colours and accents: Mocha Mousse is ideal as a wall colour or for accent walls in meeting rooms or as a background for creative thinking zones. This colour creates a calming atmosphere that promotes concentration and well-being.
- Furniture and accessories: In combination with furniture, such as ergonomic office chairs or stylish sofas in the waiting area, Mocha Mousse offers an attractive colour option that combines naturalness and modernity. The colour can also be integrated in textiles such as carpets and curtains or in smaller accessories such as office items and decorative elements.
- Design combinations: Mocha Mousse can be perfectly combined with other natural materials. Light wood tones, leather and metal accents in copper or gold can be combined with Mocha Mousse to create a particularly inviting and appealing environment.
For me, Pantone "Mocha Mousse" is pure sensuality in a room. Soft, warm and natural - a colour that radiates security and at the same time gives pleasure and depth. It creates an atmosphere that has a soothing and balancing effect, perfect for areas in the office where people feel at home and can consciously savour the moment in peace. Whether as an accent wall, upholstered seating niche or in combination with textured natural materials in shades of green and warm red, Mocca Mousse brings balance and subtle elegance to the workspace.
Warm earthy tones for cosiness
Combined with natural materials such as wood, this creates a harmonious and timeless living environment. With shades of beige, cream, green and brown, the colour combination provides a harmonious basis that radiates calm and understated elegance. Orange and dark red tones set bright accents. This palette is well suited to designs that want to achieve an understated yet deep effect.
Subtle colours promote concentration
In the PURE style, the "Mocha Mousse" colour can be combined with sweet and creamy shades. This palette is suitable for sensual and light designs. With its calming effect, this combination is also well suited to rooms where concentration is required, such as in the home office.
Timeless elegance
For classic furnishing styles, the sophisticated brown tones combine with cool blue and grey contrasts. Vibrant colours such as mustard yellow provide exciting accents to the creamy, understated brown tone.
Do you know the 60 + 30 + 10 + S formula for colour design?
Similar to the golden ratio, you can use the 60/30/10+S rule when using colours to achieve an optimum balance:
- 60 % in one to two main colours
- 30% accent colours that are similar to or harmonise with the main colours
- 10 % contrasting colours
- +S Black, which emphasises the other colours
