Indulge in Deliciousness – Rugs Inspired By Pantone's 2025 Colour of the Year

The day we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived: Pantone has unveiled its Colour of the Year for 2025. The chosen colour will provide us with a vital glimpse into the key interior design trends we will see in the coming year ahead. So, what hue will encapsulate all that is to come? And how can you style it in your home? 

This Year’s Delectable Choice is… 

Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2025 is the elevated neutral: PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse. 

According to Pantone, Mocha Mousse embodies a universal desire for connection, balance, and comfort. Laurie Pressman, the Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute, says that “for Pantone Color of the Year 2025, we look to a mellow brown hue whose inherent richness and sensorial and comforting warmth extends further into our desire for comfort, and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others.” The classic colour offers a gentle, grounding warmth lightened by its joyful pink undertones. 

This sweetened neutral is inspired by the delicious and indulgent small pleasures of everyday life. From a fresh coffee to a relaxing nature walk, Mocha Mousse is all about the little treats we gift to ourselves. Pantone chose a colour that embraces sensual desire and rewarding fulfilment through – ideally chocolatey – bite-sized joys.

Let’s Bite Into Some Interior Design Trend Predictions 

Pantone’s Colour of the Year choice is always a perfect window into the design trends that lie ahead. Through Pantone’s influence and expert prediction, we will see this year’s colour pick woven through everything from interior design to fashion and beauty. 

Laurie Pressman describes Mocha Mousse as embracing pleasures that are “intimate in scale but can extend a sense of indulgence throughout the day.” This sentiment is something we will see at the heart of many style trends this year. 

Sensorial design and casual comfort are predicted to be touchstone style ideologies in the year to come. Embracing relaxing and nurturing elevated neutrals with luxurious and soft textures in a search for sensual harmony and balance. We will see a focus on understated and elegant designs that champion comfort and indulging in pleasure through your everyday pieces. 

Styling Mocha Mousse in Your Home With an Indulgent Rug 

While you don’t need to start completely redecorating your entire home in Mocha Mousse - unless you want to - it is good to keep in mind when giving your space a refresh.

Rugs are a perfect way to embrace the indulgent essence Mocha Mousse exudes. Whether grounding your space with a mellow brown rug or searching for a luxurious, comforting texture, we have some mouth-watering rugs for you. 

Our Super Teddy Sheepskin Rug in Mink is an incredible colour match for Mocha Mousse. Offering the mellow brown hue with a pink undertone to create a stunning, grounding shade. The lush shaggy texture embraces Pantone’s call for sensual pleasure, making this a perfect choice for anyone wanting to embrace all Mocha Mousse represents. 

Our Halo Clay Rug is a dynamic and elegant choice. With its subtle tone changes and luxurious softness, this rug makes an understated focal point in your room. 

If you’re searching for a statement piece, look no further than our Sketch Blocks Earth Rug. Featuring a tone similar to our colour of the year at its centre, this rug would tie in beautifully with other Mocha Mousse decor such as a sofa or painted feature wall. The bold colour blocking and interesting shapes make this a striking, contemporary choice.
