Mocha Mousse: Pantone’s 2025 Colour of the Year made sublime with laminate

Brown is making a remarkable comeback in 2025 with Mocha Mousse, a chocolatey hue that Pantone has named colour of the year. In just a month, this warm, comforting shade of brown has become a must not only in fashion and accessories but also in interior decor.

At Le Groupe 3R, we’ve chosen laminate to bring this colour of the year alive. This material offers Mocha Mousse a refined modernity that will pair well with contemporary styles and classic vibes. Simple to work with, it will integrate harmoniously in kitchens and bathrooms, symbolizing both warmth and elegance.

 

 

Laminate and Mocha Mousse: a perfect marriage

Whether you’re aiming for a subtle change or a complete renovation, this sublime chocolatey colour makes laminate finishes sublime. If you’re into minimalism, Mocha Mousse cabinet doors can add a sophisticated touch without weighing everything down. On the other hand, if you prefer a more textured feel, a woody finish in brown tones goes perfectly with this Pantone colour.

Partnered with a quartz countertop or metallic accents like brass or copper handles, Mocha Mousse laminate can transform your kitchen into a space that’s both indulgent and chic. It goes extraordinarily well with beige, cream or taupe tones, for an easy, gentle design.

 

Laminate: an endless palette of browns for every desire

A material renowned for its versatility, laminate comes in a vast palette of colours and finishes. In addition to shades that give a textured wood effect, there are plenty of elegant brown hues around Mocha Mousse that are perfect for cabinets or wall accents.

Here are some of the reasons to choose laminate with this Pantone shade:

  • A wide variety of colours and finishes: with its extremely realistic rendering and its various texture options (mat, glossy, smooth or textured), laminate magnifies the warmth and depth of Mocha Mousse.
  • Durable and resistant material: unlike raw wood, the Miralis laminate proposed by Le Groupe 3R does not deform under the effect of humidity, and it conserves its colours despite prolonged exposure to light, guaranteeing chocolate tones a long-lasting sheen.
  • Easy maintenance: laminate is a practical solution for daily life that reveals all its potential with shades like Mocha Mousse, though you want to try to avoid fingerprints on darker finishes.
  • Excellent value: as an entry-level solution at Le Groupe 3R, laminate offers an affordable opportunity to integrate this trendy colour without compromising on quality.

 

Design and adaptability: how to integrate this new shade into your space

Mocha Mousse laminate is at its best on cabinets and shelving. Here are a few ideas to integrate this colour of the year in your interior:

  • As a subtle accent: replace only the cabinets to bring your kitchen alive with warmth.
  • As a wall accent: install laminate panels in this shade for a designer feel without redoing the entire room.
  • As decorative shelving: laminate shelves will add a refined touch to any room.

Mocha Mousse laminate also goes very well with kitchens and bathrooms, thanks to its resistance to humidity. However, to preserve this colour’s shine, it’s best to avoid prolonged exposure to steam.

 

A few practical tips for maximum durability

To prolong the life of your laminate while maintaining the Mocha Mousse sheen:

  • Regularly clean the surfaces with gentle products to avoid grease marks.
  • Limit the direct exposure of the material to heat and steam.
  • Use leftover laminate pieces for creative home accessory ideas, like shelves or wall accessories.

With its versatility and elegance, Mocha Mousse is a trend that has legs. This chocolate shade will remain a source of inspiration for years to come, so go ahead and feature this colour in your renovations.
