When it comes to colour, Pantone are the industry experts with nearly 20,000 shades in their catalogue, but each year they pick one colour for its moment in the spotlight.
This year, the Pantone Colour of the Year 2024 is … Peach Fuzz.
Described as a “warm, comforting colour,” their experts felt it would epitomise the mood of the coming year.
Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Colour Institute, said:
“In a world that can seem very harsh, people are looking for colours that soothe, colours that are soft and warm, colours that nurture and provide us with comfort.”
While we can’t guarantee that Peach Fuzz will bring you comfort, keep reading for some hints and tips on how to incorporate this new trend into your home.
If you’re not ready to commit to your very own Peach Fuzz kitchen, why not choose a few accessories that complement your existing layout? Tea towels and tablecloths are a cheap and easy way to make a splash of colour without breaking the budget.
In the lounge, there is an abundance of soft furnishing options that can easily update your space – from cushion covers to rugs to curtains. If you don’t feel like using solid peach will suit your home style, why not choose a floral print to break up the intensity?
The bedroom is the main place in your home where comfort is key. With Peach Fuzz predicted to bring calmness and warmth to a room, why not invest in a matching bed set to embrace the soothing tones fully? Using this as a central focus, it then becomes easy to tie into the rest of your room using accessories and furnishings.
If you’re feeling bold and want to take the plunge with perfect peach walls, then we’ve got you covered. Here are our top choices for paint colours to create a colour scheme that Pantone would be proud of:
