Designing Quiet Spaces: The Importance of Flooring in Acoustic Management
February 28, 2025
Each year, the Pantone Color Institute selects a color that embodies the global mood and influences design trends across industries.
For 2025, Pantone has chosen Mocha Mousse – a rich, chocolate brown that radiates warmth and comfort. This soothing shade reflects a growing desire for cozy, welcoming environments, signaling a shift in how we approach design.
Color Trends
As color trends evolve, commercial spaces are presented with an opportunity to refresh their designs and align with the prevailing mood of the year. The color selection for 2025 speaks to a broader trend of incorporating warmth and comfort into interior spaces. For commercial flooring, this shift implies a move away from frequently used cooler grey tones in favor of warmer, more inviting neutrals.
While sleek and clean, cool shades like greys and blues have traditionally been go-to choices for commercial spaces due to their muted nature, which promotes quiet and focus; the rise of warmer tones, like Mocha Mousse, brings a stylish new option. These earthy hues create environments that foster connection and collaboration, promoting a welcoming atmosphere without sacrificing professionalism.
Whether in an office, retail space, or hospitality setting, the shift toward warm colors maintains a polished, professional appearance while enhancing mood and elevating the overall aesthetic of an interior space.
A New Tone for Commercial Flooring
At CFIC, we offer a variety of commercial flooring products that perfectly align with the Mocha Mousse color trend. Our selections are designed to showcase how this soothing tone and color variation can help you create an inviting atmosphere in your unique space.
• Carpet
Carpet is an excellent choice for providing warmth and softness, especially in areas where employees, customers, or guests may be on their feet for extended periods. In a neutral, tan base like Mocha Mousse, carpet will not only enhance physical comfort but also add an element of understated luxury. This balance fosters a more cozy and productive environment, making it ideal for office spaces, retail, and hospitality settings.
• Hardwood Flooring
Classic and versatile, hardwood flooring, especially in golden latte-brown tones, brings elegance and calmness to any commercial setting. The natural warmth of wood creates a grounded atmosphere, promoting a sense of connection to nature and well-being. This makes it an ideal choice in commercial buildings where the ambiance will directly impact mood.
• Ceramic Flooring
Ceramic, in earthy brown colors, combines durability with aesthetic appeal. Its polished finish creates a refined look perfect for high-traffic areas while promoting a relaxed atmosphere. It is ideal for spaces that require both style and substance.
