Introducing the soft and cozy shade of Peach Fuzz, Pantone’s 2024 Color of the Year, into your home is an ideal way to create a welcoming ambiance and lighten up for the season. Whether the color appears on painted walls, in the décor and accessories, or shows up as an accent within a pattern, it promotes feelings of gentle warmth and infuses the space with a comforting presence. It’s also a perfect palette to transition into summer.
To create a sunlit and soothing effect, use a graduating color scheme of coral and pink tones. You’ll have many choices from the color palette that ranges from a peach and coral base to a rosy shell pink and delicate powder pink. To bring out a more youthful, lively, funky side, purple and other hues like lavender, orchid, and golden yellow can be used to complement each other. Just picture the colors you see in our stunning island sunsets and get your inspiration there! Of course, Peach Fuzz lends itself to another coastal color trend that has a distinctly retro vibe: coral and pistachio green. This vintage beach vibe can be scooped up for summer like the ice cream colors it evokes.
Because the nurturing peach tone is both visually arresting and inviting, it instinctively inspires us to want to reach out and touch. So encourage that tactility with silky fabrics, suede, velvety or quilted accents. Play with textures. Even furry pillows will fit as we aim for an atmosphere that is luxurious and soothing, soft to the touch. With heavier fabrics, you can create a cocoon of warmth. To embrace the color’s brighter, airier vibe, find light and billowing curtains or accent pieces. If you’re looking to add a perfect pop of color with pillows, check out Restoration Imports’ Pillow Bar. Pierce & Parker Interiors always has fabulous finds too. You can lean into spring with floral designs with color schemes within the Peach Fuzz palette. Of course, fresh flowers and greenery would enhance the feeling of comfort and calm in the same way we find it in nature. The friendly folks at ACE Garden Center can suggest plants best suited to the rooms and spaces you are decorating based on sun exposure and your personal maintenance preferences. Create a cozy, idyllic escape and find your own peach blossom spring.
