Every year, Pantone sets the tone for the world of design with its Color of the Year. For 2024, the spotlight is on Peach Fuzz, a warm and inviting hue that mixes light pinks with oranges. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the origins of Peach Fuzz, explore its potential applications in both interior design and fashion, debunk the myth that peach is reserved for bohemian styles, and challenge you to embrace this exquisite shade in your own creative endeavors.
The light and airy qualities of Peach Fuzz make it a versatile and timeless choice for incorporating into different aspects of our lives. Its subtle, yet captivating, undertones create an ambiance of tranquility and comfort, making it an ideal candidate for both interior design and fashion. The Pantone team took into account the color psychology of Peach Fuzz and the mood they wanted to convey. The key words are nurturing, mindfulness, compassion, healing, discovery and connection.
Interiors
If you’re looking to incorporate Peach Fuzz into your space, you should use the shade in plush fabrics like velvet, silk, linen, knit, etc. The color is also designed to provide the perfect wall paint or accent wall. Even just a pop invites a pleasant glow into your space and much like pink, peach makes everyone look good.
Contrary to popular belief, peach is not limited to bohemian design styles. Peach Fuzz can seamlessly integrate into a variety of interior design aesthetics, adding a touch of elegance and charm. Here are some styles where Peach Fuzz can work its magic.
