Incorporate Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2025 into your Kitchen Design

Pantone’s Colour of the Year program is designed to encourage discussion amongst design professionals and colour enthusiasts more generally, with the aim to further the conversation surrounding the connection between culture and colour.

Each year, Pantone aims to choose a colour that reflects the global zeitgeist, so let’s explore the colour that has been selected for 2025 and look at some of the ways you might choose to incorporate it into your kitchen space, including kitchen cupboard doors, tiles, and accessories.

What is Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2025? 

Mocha Mousse is a warm yet mellow brown hue, which has a richness that is reminiscent of coffee and chocolate. The team at the Pantone Color Institute has noted that Mocha Mousse both feeds our collective desire for comfort and simple pleasures that can be shared with loved ones, while also embracing a sense of luxury and aspiration.

Mocha Mousse has been selected for its ability to envelop a space in a warmth that appeals to all the senses, so it makes sense that it’s a colour that can really shine in a kitchen space that celebrates sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.

Cabinetry and Islands

Whether you want to drench your kitchen space in this comforting neutral shade or incorporate smaller accents into your kitchen, Mocha Mousse can be used on everything from kitchen cupboard doors to kitchen islands with ease. This remarkably versatile colour can be incorporated into everything from ultra-modern kitchens to traditional country kitchens. So, if you’re considering kitchen door replacement as an alternative for a full kitchen makeover, there are many different options available that will enable you to achieve your ideal aesthetic.

With a Mocha Mousse base on cabinets and kitchen cupboard doors, you could then really lean into warmth and elegance by incorporating soft cream and amber tones, contrasted with a rich chocolate brown for added depth.

Small Statements 

As with any colour that encourages us to create luxurious moments, Mocha Mousse can also be used sparingly to create intimate spaces that we can retreat to during the day to have a moment just for ourselves. This colour is an excellent option if you want to create a cosy seating area within your kitchen space, with plush cushions or a comforting rug that brings a sense of warmth and texture.

Earth Tones Meets Modern Sophistication

When paired with matte black hardware, Mocha Mousse proves that modern design touches don’t have to look overly crisp and clinical, and can instead bring a sense of grounding and visual contrast to a space. To achieve the same goals but with a slightly softer and more luxurious look, you could instead incorporate a reflective metallic hardware into your kitchen design and the warmth of brushed brass works particularly well with Mocha Mousse.

Pro Tip: Opting for kitchen door replacement over a complete kitchen refit is an excellent way to refresh your space without maxing out your budget, as even something as simple as switching your door and drawer handles can make a huge difference to the look and feel of a room.

Natural accents 

Mocha Mousse works beautifully with soft pinks, greys, blues and greens, all of which can be used in a kitchen space that really celebrates the beauty of our natural world. There are myriad ways to incorporate natural elements into a kitchen, including durable jute rugs, wicker light shades and open wooden shelving.

Pro Tip: Incorporate natural elements into your kitchen space in an authentic way by displaying things like wooden chopping boards and beautifully crafted ceramics on shelves and counters.

Tonal Tiles 

While switching up your kitchen tiles isn’t quite as straightforward or as simple as kitchen door replacement, it can also change the entire look and feel of a space. You could incorporate beautiful Mocha Mousse toned tiles around your cooker for a hint of warmth in your kitchen space or instead choose to tile a much larger area to create a visual statement.
