The Pantone Color of the Year is an exquisite fusion of brown known as Mocha Mousse, which embodies a profound and authentic mood. This hue exudes a refined elegance that harmonizes with current color trends, allowing for the creation of a monochromatic environment that is both rich in character and inviting.

In a discussion with HT Lifestyle, Interior Designer Punam Kalra, Creative Director at I’m the Centre for Applied Arts, remarked, “The detailed textures found in tufting and pleating of upholstery, as well as the carving and fluting in wood and the graining in stone, can elevate interior design and introduce an artisanal flair to this otherwise understated color. When combined with gold metallic accents, darker wood elements, and handwoven details, it can effortlessly evoke a specific mood.”

She further noted, “In more traditional styles such as wabi-sabi, this color can reflect the lifestyle of a particular region, incorporating raw materials like log wood seating, rough-cut stone tables, crinkled cotton cushions, and hand-thrown clay accessories to foster the serene atmosphere characteristic of this style. As a true neutral, it is adaptable and can seamlessly blend with both the sophistication of Western aesthetics and the tranquility of Eastern designs, making it an ideal choice as we progress into the second quarter of the 21st century.”

Adding her insights, Interior Architect Anjaleka Kripalani, Founder of Angie Homes, stated, “The Mocha Mousse color of the year, a deep and warm brown, can cultivate a cozy, artistic, and sophisticated ambiance.”

As an interior designer, she offered several recommendations for enhancing your interiors with the Pantone Color of the Year:

1. For living room -

2. For kitchen -

Mocha Mousse serves as an excellent choice for cabinet color, particularly in modern, rustic, or industrial-style kitchens. It enhances the kitchen's contemporary and inviting atmosphere. Pairing it with light neutrals like white, off-white, or light beige creates a refreshing contrast that balances the overall space. This color combination is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized kitchens, as it contributes to a sense of openness and brightness.

3. For bedroom -

Mocha Mousse is an ideal option for the wall behind the bed, adding both detail and a sense of comfort while establishing a captivating focal point. If you opt for Mocha Mousse on one wall, it is advisable to keep the remaining walls in lighter shades (such as beige, white, or light gray) to avoid making the room feel overly dark. This approach maintains a harmonious balance within the space. Incorporating soft pastel hues alongside Mocha Mousse introduces an element of tranquility and lightness. These gentle tones create a striking contrast without overwhelming the room. Consider using soft pastel accents in cushions, throws, or artwork to provide a subtle burst of color that beautifully complements the richness of Mocha Mousse.
