Mocha Mousse: How to Incorporate the Main Color of 2025 into Your Interior

According to the Pantone Institute, the main color of 2025 will be Mocha Mousse.

It is a deep, warm chocolate shade and should be used in interiors to create a relaxing and calm atmosphere.

But how to integrate this color into rooms? What other colors does Mocha Mousse go with and what interior styles is it suitable for, says the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino .

A rich coffee-chocolate tone will be appropriate in styles such as Scandinavian, modern, and eco-style.

It looks good in both classic and rustic styles.

Mocha Mousse is very close to nature and therefore can be easily mixed with other natural shades and materials.

For example, an interior door painted in this color will go well with wooden panels on the walls, and a carpet will go well with a leather sofa.

Good "neighbors" for the color of the year would be sandy, ocher, terracotta, rich emerald or deep blue.

Mocha Mousse is not suitable for a black and white interior, nor for rooms where bright, acidic tones dominate.

Where to use this shade

It is best to use coffee-chocolate tones in rooms facing the sunny side and well lit.

In rooms with no windows and few light sources, Mocha Mousse may seem overly dark and oppressive.

An important point is that the main color of the year implies scale.

In other words, to create accents with it, small napkins on the coffee table or individual vases are not enough.

It is better to immediately make a large accent: decorate the wall behind the bed with soft panels in the color Mocha Mousse, in the living room - put a furniture set of this shade, in the kitchen - cover the facades with a suitable film.

Of course, Mocha Mousse will also work quite well as a background, and the room will immediately acquire the desired coziness and warmth. But here too, you need to play on the difference in materials and textures.

So, if you decorate the walls in a coffee-chocolate color and make them smooth, the accent detail can be a sofa with velor upholstery, shelves made of light wood with a warm undertone, a coffee table on brass legs.

If there are doubts that Mocha Mousse in decoration will successfully fit into the existing color scheme, you can start its “implementation” with textiles.

A rug in the bathroom and towels to match, a blanket and several pillows on the sofa, bed linen on the double bed - such details will "warm" and noticeably soften the interior.
