As the world’s largest color authority, Pantone’s Color of the Year reveals what the design community is buzzing about and helps give us a glimpse into the future. If you’ve ever been one to follow trends, you may start to notice colors coming in and out of style. In 2023, it was vibrant pink. The year before, it was soft purples. These colors were everywhere, from book covers to paint colors, fashion, and more. This upcoming new year is no exception as Pantone announces the new color of the year… Peach Fuzz!
A shade that is meant to soften the mind, body, and soul, Peach Fuzz is meant to “echo our innate yearning for closeness and connection”. This year has been quite a rough one, and Pantone’s choice to focus on something soft and warm offers a beautiful way to bring compassion, youthfulness, and spirit to 2024. (source)
When it comes to interior design, trends are always changing. From the minimalist boom to bohemian accents and industrial contemporary, it’s hard to keep up with all the fads. However, Pantone 13-1023 Peach Fuzz is a soft and subtle orange tone that suits almost any aesthetic you wish for your home. This color is meant to evoke youthfulness and elegance, making it the perfect accent or statement for any room or design.
In fact, the use of oranges has been seen time and time again in 2023, with the boom of natural wood and soft browns, bright vibrant oranges, and soft almond walls. That means that all the hard work you put in to make your home perfect for this year will match perfectly with Pantone’s Color of the Year in 2024.
Coming in 2024 is the Color of the Year, a color that will set the mood for the year to come out of all the colors. Find which rooms are best suited for this soft peach color, and how you can use it in your decor.
Your bedding is the perfect opportunity to add your personal touch. If you’re looking to create a relaxing space, you can choose off-white or even a soft peach if you’re going for that Peach Fuzz look.
Start with small accents, like sheets, duvets, or curtains to bring Peach Fuzz to your space. Adding a gentle, calming touch to your bedroom with Pantone’s soft tone is also a pleasing way to enhance the effectiveness of browns, whites, and greens. This soft color pairs perfectly with nearly all neutrals, providing a warm accent to make your bedroom feel even more inviting and comfortable.
The new year is here, which means you may have been planning on those home renovations anyway. What better way to get ahead than by adding Pantone’s Color of the Year to your potential options?
Colors like Peach Fuzz are a great option for smaller rooms, like bathrooms or offices. The warm orange helps to create a calm and relaxing environment, which is perfect for small and private spaces. However, it’s also a great way to calm the chaos of a large living room.
There’s nothing better than a rug to bring color or pattern into a room. Using a rug in a shade inspired by Peach Fuzz adds a clean look without having to paint or wallpaper your walls. You also don’t have to commit to carpeting that might not last given that it’s a fashion color – not a timeless classic.
Accent decor is the easiest, and most fun, way to bring the Color of the Year into your home! Consider hanging new artwork as a savvy way to add color to walls without changing your room’s scheme. A white or off-white base can highlight this inviting color, making it the perfect accessory for any setting.
Pantone’s Color of the Year is already prominent in our daily lives, even if we haven’t noticed it yet. From book covers to makeup, fashion, and interior design. Pantone calls Peach Fuzz “a shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.”
