A new year…a new announcement in design. The Pantone Color Institute has chosen their defining color for 2025, and Mocha Mousse is all about indulging in warmth, comfort and luxury. We love showing you how the design world uses color, and this announcement is no exception. For many years, gray reigned supreme. As we move forward, the brown color family is showing how easily it contributes passion and beauty in the home decor realm.

Monochromatic Vibes

Does the idea of decorating with all one color family (monochromatic) make you feel like it might fall flat? Think again! The varying hues of color are a subtle way to bring dimension to the look of the space. Choose textured surfaces and veining to draw the eye.

Which Colors Pair Well?

When using an earthy, organic color family, choosing other colors that pair well can be subjective. You’ve seen how well the hues of brown colors, like Mocha Mousse can come together in design. But what about other colors?

Brown with Green

A design created by nature itself, we love how greens and browns create beautiful harmony together in a space.

Gray and Brown

Can you feature gray and brown in the same space? We think so. The wood floor, the ceiling and the leather upholstery offer standout design for beautiful contrast in this neutral room.

Brown and Black

Wood tones in your favorite stain colors are a dynamic way to add warmth and charm. Black contrasts the wood beautifully, but allows the grain to stand out.
