Understated luxury is the comfortable, streamlined aesthetic that’s been at the top of every trend list for the past three years, and it’s not stopping anytime soon. Beige and brown remain popular thanks to their timeless appeal. Jon Bon Jovi’s former living room is proof of this.
The SoHo penthouse is centered around a beautiful glass-enclosed living room bathed in sunset light. At the edges of the room, two chocolate-colored armchairs frame a dark brown coffee table. An iron chandelier hanging in the center illuminates the space. However, one color stands out above all others: a light, creamy brown hue. It’s the color of the rounded sofa in the center of the room, the rug beneath the armchairs, and the ceiling.

This shade is strikingly similar to the biggest color trend of 2025: Mocha Mousse. “Named Pantone’s Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse is a rich, warm hue that blends soft shades of brown and creamy beige,” explains Nick Drewe, trend expert at Wethrift. “Predicted to be a key color in 2025, it will be ideal for both fashion and interior design.”

It’s the perfect color for a living room due to its versatility. Drewe adds, “For interior design, Mocha Mousse will dominate as a go-to neutral, pairing easily with earthy greens and soft whites, two hues that have made their mark in interior design this year.” In Bon Jovi’s home, these shades are layered with darker browns to create a beautiful contrast. This combination looks particularly elegant with natural wood floors and furniture.

The shade in Bon Jovi’s living room represents the latest interpretation of understated luxury. “Mocha Mousse captures the essence of modern interiors—subtle yet impactful, luxurious yet accessible,” says Laura Hammett, founder of Laura Hammett Living. “It’s a shade that invites serenity while making a statement, and it’s reflected beautifully in many of our designs.” To incorporate Mocha Mousse, start with accessories in this cool brown hue. Decorative pillows, vases, and throws are perfect for testing this color in your living room without a full commitment.

While Mocha Mousse may not be the most unique color of the year, its timeless appeal ensures it will remain on trend for many years to come.
