Hopefully, we’re all getting into a good routine in the new year, and with a new year can come new and exciting changes in your home. One of those changes could include incorporating the 2025 Pantone Color of the Year. Drum roll, please… It’s Mocha Mousse! The color is described as a “mellow brown infused with a sensorial and comforting warmth,” according to the Pantone Color Institute. At Spectrum Stone Designs, we love following trends, and we feel like this color of the year is not only hot right now, but we also consider it somewhat of a neutral, meaning it won’t go out of style any time soon. Let’s discuss what the color stands for and how you can incorporate the 2025 Pantone Color of the Year into your home.
Martha Stewart says the color Mocha Mousse feels elevated and expensive while also bringing a sense of comfort with its earthy, natural tone. There are so many ways you can incorporate this beautiful color into your home. You could paint your walls in this rich, brown hue, but it also can be incorporated into your flooring, your countertops, and even small décor items throughout your home, such as pillows and towels. If you want to start with furniture or décor in your home, you have many options. Try a beautiful couch or chair in the Pantone Color of the Year. If that seems too risky, try starting with something smaller, like knickknacks throughout your house, including vases and picture frames.
If you’re looking for something more permanent or something to make more of a statement, we would love to help you pick out a beautiful countertop or backsplash that helps incorporate the color Mocha Mousse. The great thing about the Pantone Color of the Year is other colors in the same family coordinate beautifully together. So, even if we can’t find the exact shade in the countertop or backsplash you want (since natural stone colors can vary based on formation of the rock), we can find something that aligns. There are also plenty of options when it comes to using this on a countertop or backsplash. If a subtle style is your preference, there are simple designs with mostly just one color. Or, if you’re looking for something a bit more dramatic, we can look into something with more contrast or veining to bring your vision to life.
Sonoma Magazine says that the Pantone Color of the Year is already so popular, it’s being used in homes featured in their magazine, like a $15.5 million home in Sonoma that uses the rich hues of brown throughout the home. Shades of honey and earthy tones of wood pair so naturally with Mocha Mousse to bring a relaxing yet elegant vibe to any home.
Whether adding some earthy touches to your bathroom like a bathmat or Mocha Mousse walls, or installing a new backsplash with corresponding colors, at Spectrum Stone Designs we would love to have the chance to help bring your home to life in the new year with the 2025 Pantone Color of the Year.
