In the ever-evolving realm of interior design, Pantone consistently stands as the beacon, guiding designers across diverse industries. Acknowledged for its annual revelation of the ‘Colour of the Year,’ Pantone not only influences the creative expressions in fashion, graphics, and interior design but sets the overarching tone for the design landscape.
This year’s revelation came in the form of Peach Fuzz (Pantone 13-1023), a departure from the vibrant and tech-centric Magenta of 2023. Quietly landing (so quiet we almost missed it), Peach Fuzz embodies a compassionate and nurturing soft peach shade conveying heartfelt kindness. This velvety hue offers soft respite and is here to usher in a year of tranquillity and calm.
Described by Pantone as ‘a cosy peach hue softly nestled between pink and orange’, Peach Fuzz invites recalibration to our living spaces. It sets the stage for nurturing, reflection, and healing.
As an interior design studio, we see Peach Fuzz as an invitation to reimagine spaces with a soft glow that blends modern aesthetics with timeless comfort. A hue that possesses the power to transform interiors into lived-in environments and evoke a feeling of cocooned warmth. Below, we share our ideas on how to incorporate Peach Fuzz into interiors.
Accent Furniture
Bring Peach Fuzz to life through carefully selected statement furniture, like a plush sofa or an oversized chill-out chair.
Design Insight: A well-chosen statement piece in Peach Fuzz will brighten the room, enhance visual interest, and create a warm, welcoming focal point.
Soft Furnishings
Enhance the snug factor by incorporating custom-designed cushions or throws in Peach Fuzz – pair with neutrals for a sense of airy calm or deep jewel tones for a burst of personality.
Design Insight: Choose sumptuous textures for a touch of plush luxury, or alternatively, consider linen or hessian for a more raw, rustic and sustainable feel.
Artwork & Accessories
Integrate Peach Fuzz subtly into decor through carefully chosen artwork or accessories, allowing it to gently illuminate the room.
Design Insight: Artwork and accessories in Peach Fuzz will work wonders when strategically placed against neutral backgrounds, allowing them to standout without overwhelming the space.
Accent Walls
Embrace brave design choices by introducing a single Peach Fuzz accent wall, experimenting with various textures, fabrics, or wall coverings to make the wall an integral part of the design story.
Design Insight: The choice of texture on an accent wall can redefine the room. Consider a subtle wall covering with a fine line pattern for a touch of peach-tinted sophistication. For a bolder more vibrant statement, explore abstract wall coverings or peach paint colour washing.
Welcoming Peach Fuzz into our 2024 design palette looks to be more than a colour choice: it’s a design philosophy. Beyond trendiness, Peach Fuzz will create a desire for intimate spaces and steer us towards a narrative of meaningful connections and well-being. From statement furniture to accent walls, Peach Fuzz is here to add a touch of soul and take us all on a wonderfully peachy journey.
