Peach Fuzz

Pantone’s celebrated ‘Colour of the Year 2024’ announcement has revealed that the hue that everyone will be yearning for in 2024 is “Peach Fuzz”. ​ Essentially a very gentle pastel orange. It’s absolutely not beige and definitely not pink, peach is a colour that soothes and comforts. ​ But how can it be incorporated it into homes and commercial spaces? ​

RESIDENTIAL SPACES

Anna Burles from interior design firm Run For the Hills says “Peach works really well when used with pops of dark green and terracotta or burgundy. ​ We used layers of peach within a residential project recently, within the upholstery, curtains and walls and then contrasted it with some really vibrant artwork and rich green banquette seating and terracotta chairs. ​ The overall atmosphere ends up exuding a certain confidence in a cool, contemporary way.”

COMMERCIAL SPACES

The mixture of peach with burgundy not only works in residential spaces but offers commercial spaces a welcoming calm. ​ For a more playful take, peach can be used in layers on its own which could be described as creating a synesthetic effect, crossing from a visual experience into something you can almost taste or smell.

According to Pantone’s Leatrice Eiseman, “A cozy peach hue softly nestled between pink and orange, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz brings a sense of belonging, recalibration, and nurturing. An idea as much as a feeling, it awakens our senses to the comforting presence of tactility and cocooned warmth.”
