Beiges have long rocked back and forth on the seesaw of style in our interiors. Right now, they’ve very much been thrown up into the air, caught in a moment of reinvention, and landed with a twist—filled with fresh energy and a new perspective.

Mocha Mousse has been the shade on many a tastemaker’s list of late, having been officially announced as global colour authority Pantone’s Colour of the Year – so there’s no denying it, this shade is going places. Described by the brand as a hue that ‘expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence’, Mocha Mousse – that’s PANTONE 17-1230 for formal introductions – whips up images of delicious after-dinner desserts: indulgent, but in a light, soft and comforting way. The colour stands for everyday pleasure—a shot of cacao and coffee slipped into the daily routine to give it a subtle boost.

Warmer, richer, and a little more luxe than the sandier beiges we’ve seen until now in the home, this beige update acts as a refined decorative foundation—not only enhancing other colours and textures, but also bringing its own personality into spaces. It’s proof that neutrals can be just as striking and expressive as bolder tones.

These new, sumptuous beiges mark a turning point for neutrals—no longer just quiet backdrops but a statement in themselves. With warmth and depth, they bring a sense of effortless sophistication indoors, feeling both grounding and luxurious while showing that beiges can be just as impactful as traditionally bolder hues.
