The Pantone Colour of the Year is Mocha Mousse. Having already made frequent appearances on the runway and high street, a preference for the warm brown has now seeped beyond fashion into the design world, which includes rugs.
The annual Pantone colour can sometimes be an unlikely choice for a rug, with the colours Peach Fuzz and Very Peri from the last couple of years being much brighter and more unusual. This year’s choice is, conversely, a great neutral that often features in rug design. Here we include a range of examples in various styles that feature the colour. As you can see, it suits both contemporary and traditional designs.
