The big interior trend: warm colours with MIDAS Metall®
The PANTONE® colour of the year ‘Mocha Mousse’ sets new standards for current interior trends
In 2025, a striking change is becoming visible in the design of interiors and interior projects: ‘Warm minimalism’ is establishing itself as the dominant trend, representing a departure from the cool, monochrome aesthetics of years gone by. This style focuses on a harmonious combination of functionality and cosiness, with natural materials such as wood, stone and metals playing a central role.
PANTONE ‘Mocha Mousse’ embodies an earthy elegance and offers versatile design options – ideal for creating spaces that radiate calm and sophistication.

Naturalness and high-tech combined?
PANTONE 17-1230 harmonises perfectly with natural materials such as wood, leather and textiles in soft tones. The use of this colour in interior design promotes a feeling of security and stability, which is particularly appreciated in today’s hectic world. In combination with MIDAS Metall® alloys such as antique rustic bronze, antique brass and classic bronze, a harmonious combination of warmth, elegance and timeless beauty is created. Interior designers are faced with the challenge of designing multifunctional rooms that adapt to the changing needs of residents. The integration of smart home technologies plays an important role here, whereby these must be discreetly embedded in the overall design.
The merging of indoor and outdoor areas is becoming increasingly important, which requires new approaches in spatial planning and material selection. Another important aspect is sustainability, which is reflected in the use of recycled and environmentally friendly materials. The combination of warm minimalism, technology integration and vintage elements requires a high degree of creativity and technical expertise to realise sophisticated design concepts in 2025.
Liquid metal finishes from MIDAS Metall® as an exclusive addition

Real metal finishes – a symbiosis with mocha mousse
Real metal finishes offer a unique way to create depth and texture in interiors. By applying liquid metal to surfaces, designers can create luxurious yet subtle accents that harmonise perfectly with Mocha Mousse. This technique allows the warmth of the brown shade to be combined with the lustre of metals such as bronze or copper, resulting in a rich and inviting aesthetic.
Conclusion
The PANTONE® colour of the year is a targeted trend-setter for interior designers, craftspeople and processors of real metal finishes. The warm tones are in focus in 2025 and confirm the cream-beige trend of recent years. ‘I think they are a sign of opposition. Especially as a counter-movement to the futuristic cool colour concepts that have been driven by fashion and the colour industry in recent years. In luxury interior design, we have been seeing this development for some time. Sustainable building in Europe has, in my opinion, been instrumental in this trend,’ says Alexandra Williams – Head of Marketing and Trend Consultant at MIDAS Surfaces.
