Every year, the world of design and furnishings eagerly awaits the announcement of Pantone's Color of the Year , which often acts as a catalyst for global color trends. 2025 certainly does not neglect warmth, the enveloping one, placing PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse as the protagonist, a shade developed in collaboration with Wix Studio, to also express through color the desire for a slower life, rooted in nature, in the name of calm and connection.
Mocha Mousse: slow life and awareness
Mocha Mousse is first and foremost a shade of brown, an explicit reference to the earth and natural materials, but an implicit invitation to a deep reflection on our lifestyle, dominated by freneticity that as a first consequence takes away space and time from contemplation. This chromatic choice celebrates the value of slowness, authenticity and emotion. What more than colors and natural atmosphere generates well-being?
The nuance lends itself to creating comfortable and sophisticated environments, ideal for living and creative spaces, but above all ideal for finding calm and comfort in domestic environments and, more generally, in everyday life. The Slow collection by Marazzi, with its surfaces inspired by traditional terracotta and unique material details obtained through 3D Ink technology, perfectly embodies the spirit of Mocha Mousse. This collection is presented as a tribute to the slow living philosophy, recovering materials and artisan techniques of the past.
It’s not just Pantone that’s setting the trends for 2025. Other leading companies such as Dulux, Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams have also presented their palettes for the year. Dulux focuses on natural and soft shades, with accents of sage green and terracotta, perfect for those seeking a balance between modernity and tradition. Sherwin-Williams focuses on sophisticated neutrals, such as taupe and warm beige, emphasizing minimalism and versatility. Benjamin Moore, on the other hand, dares with bold and rich colors, such as shades of petrol blue and forest green, invoking resilience and regeneration.
The common feature of these palettes is certainly the attention towards social and environmental changes, promoting chromatic choices that are aesthetically pleasing, but above all ethically aware.
Color trends and everyday spaces
The real trend of 2025 is therefore a growing sensitivity and desire to raise awareness, which is also manifested through the color and aesthetics of the environments that surround us.
How can we bring these trends into our homes? Bringing the shades of the palettes onto the walls with paint or wallpaper is undoubtedly a safe and impactful choice. A simpler and more immediate choice is to choose furnishing accessories that reflect the trendy nuances, such as cushions, rugs, prints or works of art, combined with natural fabrics such as linen and cotton. The addition of natural elements, such as indoor plants, helps create a visual and sensorial connection with nature.
The Beam Console by Ex.t, with its softly shaped LivingTec® sink and elm wood cabinet, is an ideal option for those looking to combine practicality and sophisticated design. The addition of a travertine marble shelf not only improves functionality, but also recalls the natural materials so celebrated in 2025. The Frame Kitchens by Fantin, with their Barazza steel or Fenix NTM tops, also embody the trend towards minimalism and the use of durable and resistant materials. The possibility of customizing the Ultra-matt finishes allows for the creation of monochromatic spaces that integrate perfectly with the Mocha Mousse palette.
To transform the bedroom into a comfortable refuge, the beds and sommiers of the Frame Beds collection by Fantin are an ideal choice. With their minimal design, square tube bed frame and padded headboard, they are perfect for creating a relaxing and harmonious environment. Another element that celebrates the slow living philosophy is the Borghi Lavabo Tondo da terra by Antonio Lupi. This washbasin with essential shapes and fine materials is designed to evoke a feeling of calm and intimacy in the bathroom environment.
Finally, for those who wish to add a touch of softness and comfort to their living room, the Pacha Chair Collection by Gubi is a complement that does not go unnoticed; rounded and welcoming shapes, an invitation to daily well-being and to relax, more simply, to the slow life.
