Pantone’s ‘Color of the Year’ is Peach Fuzz, which is not quite orange and not quite pink. This unique choice allows for a range of everything in between the two and gives so much flexibility with how to use it in design. Soft hues, warm accents, deep highlights and vibrant pops play a part in the dynamic versatility of peach that can swing from the whisper of a neutral to a fiery statement.

Peach is a color that radiates warmth and is extremely flattering with almost anything. As with peaches and cream, the peach color works very well when used in combination with other neutrals provided sufficient contrasting accents are provided in deep or light tones.
It makes an excellent color on walls, whether as paint or a patterned wallpaper. Under warm interior light, it practically glows like an evening sunset. One trick not many people may know is that if you line your lampshades in peach, it makes your skin appear flawless. Thank you peach!

PEACH AS A STATEMENT
Due to its delicate nature, peach is best used as a base color. However, it can be used as an accent color in high contrast designs that use darker colors like teal blues or emerald greens.

PERFECT PAIRINGS
Even though peach pairs so well with so many colors, it’s hard to deny the glamorous combination of this fleshy tone with lush green hues, from mint, teal, lime and emeralds. There’s something so transformative when the duo are used together, like borrowing a perfect moment from mother nature herself.

SPACE THAT TELLS A STORY
Color doesn’t have to be on a grand scale to make an impact, keep it to small, subtle details if that’s more your style. Ornate touches are the perfect way to accomplish this and couldn’t be more suited for the vintage design comeback we’re seeing in 2024.
Nostalgia takes center stage this season and peach is the perfect companion. From retro furniture to antique inspired decor, the winning touch is mixing and matching.
Blend contemporary aesthetics with vintage accents that will bring a touch of history while celebrating craftsmanship and timeless elegance. By layering design eras you create a personalized interior space that tells your own unique story curated for you.

Try placing contemporary pieces with retro statements – or play with a common color to tie elements and patterns together to create a cohesive theme like the deep hued tones found in the above painting, wallpaper, curtains, table art and leather arm chair.
BIOPHILIC DESIGN
Taking natural and organic design a step further, biophilic design fosters a sense of harmony, well-being and vitality into the environment by integrating nature with patterns. Using plants, natural light, florals, and natural materials like wood, fur, linen, stone and metal. Based on Pantone’s purpose for Peach Fuzz – there is a cohesive theme between the two.

A key element of design moving into the future is authenticity. Finding your own character and decorating with your likes and personality in mind keeps it genuine. Learning to embrace imperfections and letting unique pieces shine brings warmth and individuality.

Another trend that goes well with the biophilic movement is hiding the TV. This can be done in plain sight by using a dark colored wall behind your television to blend it into the background, but there are so many clever ways to do this with smart T.V.’s like setting the screen to a favorite piece of art or covering it with an abstract pattern and frame.
