When Pantone unveiled Mocha Mousse (PANTONE 17-1230) as the Colour of the Year for 2025, it wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was about emotion, warmth, and our innate need for comfort in the spaces we call home.
Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Colour Institute, summed it up perfectly:
“As people continue to seek harmony and balance, there is a shift towards curating moments and experiences that boost our sense of personal comfort and wellness.”
This rich, warm brown—reminiscent of melted chocolate, roasted coffee beans, and aged wood—is more than just a shade. It’s an experience. And what better foundation for this velvety hue than wooden flooring?
The Art of Pairing Mocha Mousse with Wooden Floors
A poorly chosen floor can either drown out Mocha Mousse’s richness or clash with its warmth.
The key? Understanding not just colour, but texture, grain, and finish.
Done right, the interplay between Mocha Mousse and wooden flooring can create interiors that feel effortless, luxurious, and timeless.
From heritage-inspired reclaimed oak to sleek, contemporary finishes, here’s how to make Mocha Mousse and wooden flooring the power couple of your interiors.
How Mocha Mousse Transforms a Space
Mocha Mousse is a chameleon.
In natural daylight, it feels soft, enveloping, and inviting.
Under warm artificial lighting, it deepens, taking on a rich, polished wood aesthetic.
This adaptability makes it the perfect colour for both modern and traditional spaces—provided the flooring enhances, rather than competes with, its essence.
1. The Reclaimed European Oak
For those who crave a floor with history, texture, and organic warmth, look no further than the Antique European Oak, crafted from European Oak boards of extraordinary heritage, some dating back as far as 300 years; our Reclaimed Antique European Oak Flooring stands as a testament to timeless beauty and expert craftsmanship.
2. Canyon: Modern, Understated Luxury
For those who prefer a contemporary touch, the Canyon Collection is a masterclass in minimalism.
It is best suited for formal sitting rooms, high-end offices, or boutique interiors with ample natural light.
3. Reclaimed Manoir Oak: The Epitome of Luxury & Heritage
For those who value authenticity, Reclaimed Manoir Oak delivers.
Each plank carries its own story, textures, and rich patina, making it an exquisite match for Mocha Mousse in homes that blend old-world charm with modern sophistication.
Our 200-year-old Manoir Oak is sourced from ancient stables, cottages, and storehouses across the lands surrounding the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas.
4. The British Public House Collection: A Nod to Timeless Tradition
Inspired by Britain’s most storied taverns and inns, this collection is for those who want character and heritage in their interiors.
The George Inn—named after the 14th-century coaching inn—pairs beautifully with Mocha Mousse, making it ideal for classic British design lovers.
Other standout choices include:
5. Reclaimed Mid-Century Pine: Industrial Chic Meets Warmth
For those drawn to an industrial, loft-style aesthetic, the Reclaimed Mid-Century Pine Collection is a fresh alternative to traditional oak.
For contrast: Wabi Sabi’s bleached, subtly textured pine makes Mocha Mousse pop in Scandinavian-inspired interiors.
For warmth with character, Antwerp and Styal Mill finishes balance aged wood tones with soft patinas, creating a relaxed yet sophisticated feel.
This collection shines in converted warehouses, creative studios, and contemporary homes with a rustic edge.
Final Thoughts: Elevate Your Space with the Right Pairing
Pairing Mocha Mousse with the right wooden flooring isn’t just about colour—it’s about texture, movement, and creating a space that feels effortlessly luxurious.
Mocha Mousse is here to stay. Make it shine with the perfect wooden flooring, and watch your space transform into a haven of warmth, sophistication, and timeless beauty.
