From Grey to Brown
Neutral tones are shifting from cool greys to warm browns, reflecting a desire for cozy, grounded interiors. Shades like mocha, taupe, and caramel bring a natural, earthy warmth that feels both timeless and fresh. Leading the charge is Pantone’s Colour of the Year, Mocha Mousse, a rich and versatile brown that pairs beautifully with both bold accents and softer tones. Other shades, like terracotta and deep beige, further emphasize this move toward inviting, nature-inspired neutrals.
This shift isn’t limited to walls and furnishings—flooring is also embracing deeper, brownish tones, moving away from grey-washed planks or the ever-popular lighter natural shades in favour of richer, warmer finishes that add depth and sophistication to spaces.
