Choosing the colour theme for your office is a big decision as it can affect many aspects of your business – from visitor first impressions to employee comfort and wellbeing.
Colour choice often aligns with brand, but as trends in colour come and go, many offices will lean towards following trends and updating as they move forward.
In 2025, colour trends in interior design and office furniture are embracing warmth and comfort, and leaning towards colours that link with nature.
From the global Pantone Color of the Year to trends highlighted by our fabric suppliers, the palette for 2025 invites us to create inspiring and calming office environments.
The Pantone colour of the year: PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse
For 2025, the Pantone Color Institute has selected PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a rich, warming brown hue reminiscent of the indulgence of chocolate and the comfort of coffee. This shade brings depth to any office space, offering a good backdrop for productivity while nurturing a sense of stability and warmth for employees.
Incorporating Mocha Mousse into your office design can take many forms, from statement walls and upholstery to subtle accents in soft furnishings and accessories. It also pairs well with a wide range of colours, making it a flexible choice.
Camira Fabrics: Terracottas, neutrals, and lush greens
One of our suppliers, Camira Fabrics, is also setting the stage for 2025 with a palette inspired by natural elements. Earthy terracottas, calming neutrals, and lush greens, all of which work well together. These tones reflect the move towards sustainable, biophilic design – a trend that connects indoor environments to nature.
Camira’s fabrics provide an excellent way to introduce these colours into your office. Whether through ergonomic chairs in light pink or terracotta, privacy screens in calming neutrals, or lounge seating upholstered in rich greens, our furniture and their colour options make it easy to bring these trending colours to life.
Shropshire trends: Following city inspiration
Here in Shropshire, office trends often mirror those seen in major cities, albeit with a slight delay. What begins as a statement in urban environments gradually finds its way into Shropshire offices, adapting to local sensibilities and preferences.
Take the example of white desks, a staple in city office design for years. These desks remain a popular choice in Shropshire as they complement any colour palette, including the colours we are predicted to see in 2025. By pairing white desks with Mocha Mousse accents or natural tones, offices can strike a balance between enduring style and new trends.
Practical tips for integrating 2025 trends
- Start small: If a full redesign isn’t in the cards, incorporate colour trends through accent pieces like cushions, desk accessories, or artwork.
- Balance with neutrals: Pair bolder colours like Mocha Mousse and terracotta with soft neutrals to create a professional look.
- Layer textures: Use fabrics to add depth and interest to your office space. Textured upholstery can enhance the warmth of colour trends.
- Think long-term: While trends provide inspiration, ensure your choices will stand the test of time by opting for quality materials and versatile colours.
