1. Mocha Mousse: Pantone’s Color of 2025
Move over neutrals—2025 is going to be all about the bold, sophisticated charm of Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s Color of the Year. This lush, warm brown pairs beautifully with - my favorite - gold accents, but also velvet textures, and moody florals. I'm seriously looking forward to playing around with this!

Bring the serene vibes of the beach indoors with the 2025 version of coastal decor. This year, the trend focuses on soft sandy beiges, deep ocean blues, and natural textures like rattan and linen. If you loved coastal in 2022, you'll love it even more this year.
