Here it is – the first Wylde blog of the year and we’re covering Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2025, Mocha Mousse! Mocha Mousse is here to make its mark, and it’s all about warmth and comfort. This soft, earthy brown feels grounded and cosy, perfect for creating spaces where you can truly unwind. It’s a colour that doesn’t shout for attention but instead wraps you up in a gentle, reassuring hug.
For living rooms, Mocha Mousse is a brilliant choice to bring a sense of calm. Use it on an accent wall or introduce it through a plush sofa or throw. Pairing it with off-whites and natural woods creates a balance that feels timeless and easy-going. In the bedroom, it’s a dream – imagine a wall in this shade alongside soft greens or creamy linens. It sets the tone for relaxation and peace, ideal for those moments when you just need to recharge.
Mocha Mousse isn’t just for quiet spaces, though. Kitchens can use its earthy vibe to great effect, whether in cabinetry or smaller touches like tiles or bar stools. Combine it with sleek black handles or pale stone worktops for a fresh yet homely look. Bathrooms, too, benefit from its warmth. Picture tiles or a vanity in this shade, complemented by brass or copper accents, for a spa-like feel you’ll never want to leave.
One of the best things about this colour is its versatility. Even if you’re not ready to commit to painting walls or cabinets, adding accessories in Mocha Mousse – like cushions, vases, or rugs – can subtly transform a space. It pairs beautifully with neutral palettes and natural textures like linen, wood, and stone, making it easy to incorporate into most homes.
Mocha Mousse speaks to our need for comfort and connection. It’s a colour that feels both modern and timeless, striking the perfect balance between sophistication and approachability. Whether you go all in or just add a touch here and there, this hue is set to be a favourite for 2025.
