Warmth in Every Shade of Peach

Pantone’s colour experts delve into global influences, from art and fashion to travel and technology, to capture the zeitgeist. This year they have termed Peach Fuzz as the colour of the year. It’s a delightful fusion of soft peachy tones with a touch of warmth, and creativity.

Why use this shade you ask??

Well, Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, has the perfect answer for you. “In a world that can seem very harsh, people are looking for colours that soothe, colours that are soft and warm, colours that nurture and provide us with comfort,” says Eiseman.

From a cosy little sofa in your living room to a stylish art piece on the wall, with a touch of versatility Peach Fuzz can be used everywhere. Here’s how you can include this peachy hue into your home:

Walls

For your walls opt for a high-quality matte finish paint, testing a small section first to gauge how the colour interacts with your room's lighting. Balance is key; let Peach Fuzz enhance the room without overwhelming it, allowing your creativity to shine through. Peachy wall panels can also amplify your space when paired with artwork and furniture of contrasting shades, creating a harmony of hues in your room.

Furniture

Introduce Peach Fuzz through furniture pieces like a cosy armchair, a stylish sofa, or even a statement coffee table. This approach not only introduces the elegance of Peach Fuzz but also creates a contemporary, inviting ambiance within your space.

Lighting

As lighting can enhance the ambiance of any room, consider Peach Fuzz lamp shades or pendant lights to cast a gentle, inviting glow. You can thoughtfully place these lighting elements in areas where they'll be functional and contribute to the room's overall aesthetic, providing a cosy atmosphere to your room.?

Tip! Try to balance the colour with neutral surroundings for a contemporary feel.

Peach Fuzz’s gentle, warm embrace invites us to infuse our lives with a touch of optimism. No matter where it’s used, this delightful hue adds a dash of modernity and elegance everywhere.

So, let Peach Fuzz be your muse this year!?
