5 Ways To Incorporate Color Of The Year - 2025 In Your Home
For those unversed, Pantone announced ‘Color of the year’ for 2025 recently. Before we discuss how you can incorporate that in your home, let me get you acquainted with who Pantone is. Pantone is a globally recognized authority which is like the ‘color expert’ of the world. They announce a color for every year which basically sets the trends for the fashion and the design industry.
Now, let’s talk about the color of the year! It is “Mocha Mousse” which is a warm brown hue with shades of cocoa, chocolate and coffee. Delicious right! Brown is popularly known as the color of the luxury and picking this as color of the year also hints at the decor trends for the new year - elegance, sophistication and depth.
In this blog post, we will look at 5 ways you can bring ”Mocha Mousse” in your home to update the decor without being too trendy, because trendy is not timeless.
