Pantone’s Mocha Mousse and How to Style It
Pantone’s recent announcement of their Colour of the Year Mocha Mousse will be sending ripples through the wedding and events industry as stylists and planners will use the colour to guide their design decisions in the coming year.
For 2025 this colour offers a warm, brown hue that evokes comfort and elegance, perfect for transforming any space into a stylish event.
COMPLEMENTARY COLOURS
Mocha Mousse beautifully complements earthy colours like terracotta muted greens and blush, along with darker shades of brown. Adding in light neutral accents, like soft cream or warm beige, helps to soften bolder contrasts while maintaining harmony. This versatility allows you to experiment across various design aesthetics, whether modern or rustic.
FURNITURE SELECTION
Choosing the right furniture shapes the overall mood when using Mocha Mousse. Opt for pieces in wood complemented by light cream or sand upholstery for sofas and accent chairs. Explore natural materials like linen for a relaxed feel or choose leather for a more polished look. Accent with cushions on larger furniture pieces and add in throws in contrasting shades like deep teal or dusty pink for a stylish, layered look.
TABLESCAPE STYLING
For tablescapes, soft shades like caramel, walnut and light pink enhance the beauty and earthy texture of natural wooden tables. The neutral colour palette to is an easy one that lets you incorporate pops of colour, use florals or candles in brighter tone in complementary colours for an instant lift. Natural elements always have huge appeal and Mocha Mousse reflects our continued desire to bring nature indoors. Decorate with branches, seed pods, berries and dried flowers, these are all easy to find and will add character to your table. Introduce other organic elements like terracotta pots, handmade ceramics and natural fabrics for table linens, these all add warmth and texture for a timeless feel.
PANTONE COLOUR OF THE YEAR
Mocha Mousse emphasizes the importance of earthy tones that evoke warmth and a connection to nature. I love the possibilities this colour will bring to events in 2025.
