The Art of Spring Design

2025 is all about warmth, comfort, and curated indulgence, and leading the charge is Pantone’s Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse. This rich, velvety brown evokes the quiet luxury of a perfectly brewed espresso or the simple pleasure of a well-worn leather chair. It’s the grounding hue we didn’t know we needed—and it’s defining everything from living room walls to landscape accents across New England and beyond.

A COLOR TO SAVOR

Described by Pantone as a “rich, sensory hue,” Mocha Mousse is the embodiment of what we’re craving in our spaces right now: intentional design, earthy elegance, and timeless comfort.

Whether used as a statement wall in the dining room or a grounding base for furniture upholstery, it pairs effortlessly with:

In New England, 2025’s interior design trends read like a love letter to nature and nostalgia. Think: cozy textures, biophilic design, and a return to English country-inspired spaces.

What’s In:

This year’s homes aren’t trying to impress with excess—they’re welcoming you in with layers of texture, thoughtful lighting, and colors that wrap around you like a hug.

OUTDOOR LIVING ELEVATED

Homeowners in New England are blurring the line between indoors and out. Informed by both sustainability and style, exteriors this year are all about mixed materials, saturated color palettes, and multi-functional outdoor spaces. And yes—Mocha Mousse looks incredible on a sun-drenched porch, paired with wrought iron or aged copper accents.
