"There's a new trending color that'll definitely convince you that dark and moody is the way to go. It's been dubbed "Espresso Martini" brown (so close to our own moniker, "Espresso Bean"), and it's the earthy, chocolate-y, dark brown color that fans of a pop of drama will love. Above, it's used in a monochromatic bedroom by Aleksa Interiors that oozes cozy chic vibes."
"The buzz around this rich take on brown is too real, as brand Maison Flâneur shared a roundup of luxurious Espresso Martini interiors, stating in an Instagram caption that the color is "where velvet meets two-toned chocolate," and is "a haven for those who adore opulent, indulgent spaces." The fact that this deep, dark brown color is commanding style trends isn't exactly new."
Warm neutrals continue to dominate mood boards for 2026, with a rich, dark brown emerging as a leading dramatic hue. The color, nicknamed Espresso Martini brown, reads as earthy, chocolatey, and cozy while carrying a nostalgic, moody sensibility. Stylings range from monochromatic bedrooms that emphasize cozy chic to hotel-inspired speakeasies that feel mysterious and indulgent. The tone works as a bold full-room choice or as an accent to let other colors and furnishings stand out. The color translates across velvet and textured finishes and suits both opulent, indulgent spaces and more restrained, comforting interiors.
