UKMocha Mousse, the Pantone colour to savour this year, is a mid-toned brown hue which taps into the desire for comfort and for the simplest of pleasures. Like a perfect cup of cappuccino or a bar of silky milk chocolate, this shade brings warmth and indulgence to any interior or exterior space—whether you are a homeowner refreshing your own spaces, or a designer looking for a spoonful of inspiration.
Drenched across large surfaces or folded into the design with subtle accents, Mocha Mousse can be introduced with different earthy neutrals and deep wood tones for a layered, luxurious aesthetic. Go tonal for a cocooning effect, or add contrast with lighter, whipped cream hues for a high-impact look.
Tiles with Impact
From floor and wall tiles to smaller tiles that decorate just about any surface—we have it all. For big splashes of colour with an immersive feel, porcelain slabs are an exceptional choice for a vanity backsplash or shower. The Del Conca Timeline Taupe and FAP Ylico Damask tiles warmly envelop, while the subtle glazed damask texture adds depth. We love a damask moment—it is a classic design that always returns. And its rich, timelessly nostalgic appeal echoes the comfort and indulgence that Mocha Mousse evokes.
Work in some organic texture that aligns with Mocha Mousse’s grounding nature by incorporating the FAP Roots Taupe wood-effect tile for a rustic look. They look just like the real material, but without the maintenance, which makes them great for indoor and outdoor applications such as a kitchen-to-patio connection. If you prefer a smaller, glazed tile, look to the Panaria Workshop collection to add character. Jasmine is the ideal mocha cream neutral, while Amber cuts through with a deeper nutmeg shade.
Beautiful Bathrooms
BAGNODESIGN, the luxury bathroom brand, has recently launched its innovative Armour finishes featured in the new Toko Flavours and Beach House brassware ranges. The Cocoa shade in particular, has a warm chocolatey tone that glimmers gold when caught in the light. With a deeper red undertone, Soft Burgundy is another sumptuous option. Want to pool the colour into the basin? The Toko basin in Coffee is an elegant choice, or consider the Dream countertop wash basin from Galassia, living up to its name in a calming, creamy vanilla hue.
Take colour into furniture such as the Smyle units by Idea Group. A fluted surface gives this otherwise velvety matte hue dimension, and plenty of storage means you can hide your essentials.
Delicious Kitchen Styling
Ever thought to make your kitchen sink the centrepiece? With the Elleci Keratek sink in the delectable Cocoa you can really work the trend into the most unique and unexpected of places. For the kind of hosting where your guests will admire even the cutlery, the Bugatti Melodia cutlery set comes in the exquisite Onyx shade, laced with a subtle sparkle inspired by the beautiful natural stone.
Savouring the Outdoors
As well as indoors, Mocha Mousse and its heavenly tonal palette also works beautifully outside. Natural wood is a mainstay here, with the GYMKHANA Beach House collection elevating the look with sunkissed teak furniture, while the Talenti Ever range takes on a deeper, espresso tone in Palissandro. We suggest pairing this with the Beach House coffee tables in the same finish, or—for a focal point that feels equally cosy and inviting—the GYMKHANA firepit tables stir in the latte flavours with a travertine-effect Immensa Beige Matt finish.
Layered Lighting
When designing a lighting plan, you can go all out by mixing different textures and tones to layer up the look. Whether by using metallic finishes like bronze or an Oxide Corten, matte all-over colours, or nature-inspired woven twine.
Starting with the general or main lighting, Bover’s Mediterrania ceiling light and matching pendant light take cues from the ebb and flow of the Mediterranean, its flowing sculptural form resonating with the calming essence of Mocha Mousse. For function with flair, the Faro Typhoon fan doubles as an LED ceiling light, keeping outdoor spaces cool and free of mosquitos.
Next is to create accents, and wall lights are a great option. Depending on your preference for sculptural drama or simplicity, Hind Rabii and Aldo Bernardi are both great choices. Bover provides a more tailored solution with its cohesive Nut collection, featuring push-button, rotating wall lights alongside bollards in a toasted Terracotta hue.
For table lights, French brand Hisle’s bronze options put the ‘je ne sais quoi’ into styling, and the new GYMKHANA Cascais, Oeiras and Lisbon in Rust are perfect to place anywhere, indoors or out. Best of all, you can charge six Casais lamps or nine Oeiras and Lisbon lamps all at once on a charging base, making them ideal for last-minute entertaining or for setting the perfect atmosphere in your own peaceful outdoor escape.
