Every year Pantone selects a color they believe captures a global mood. This year’s pick, Mocha Mousse, is a rich, earthy tone that invites warmth, balance, and a sense of tranquility into any room. Incorporating this mood into your home doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you're living in a downtown apartment, a cozy beach bungalow, or a mid-century modern home, this soothing hue will help you to effortlessly elevate your space.
A great way to add Mocha Mousse to your home is with a soft, calming accent wall. Choose a single wall in your living room, bedroom, or hallway to create a focal point that invites relaxation without overpowering the space. For an added touch, let your accent wall face your outdoor space, seamlessly blending the calming vibes indoors with the natural beauty outside.
You can also start small and bring the comfort of Mocha Mousse into your home through decor and accessories. Add some throw pillows and a cozy blanket or soft rug to create a welcoming space. For a more subtle approach simply update your lamps or bring in a Mocha Mousse vase and add some colorful flowers! This calming hue would also look great when paired with gold or brass frames for a touch of elegance. Look for paintings, prints, or posters that feature this year’s color or have a vibe that complements your living space. Mix it with textured materials like ceramics and wood to bring out its earthy richness.
Whether you’re a minimalist at heart or you love mixing colors and textures, this year’s color can fit into any space. From furniture to textiles, art to outdoor decor, there are endless ways to make it your own. Its versatility allows you to create a soothing, cohesive environment… the key is finding the right balance to match your unique style and mood!
