Peach Fuzz captures our desire to nurture ourselves and others. It’s a velvety, gentle peach tone whose all-embracing spirit enriches mind, body, and soul. It’s a cozy and comforting hue designed to nurture compassion and connection – all while fostering a deep coziness as we seek a peaceful future.

A light, delicate shade that sits between pink and orange, Peach Fuzz marks Pantone’s 25^th anniversary of its Color of the Year program. Much like its warm and inviting color, the name also reflects the importance of touch.

Materially speaking, Peach Fuzz offers a light, effervescent contrast to solid surfaces like stone or polished concrete. It’s a striking contrast to darker wood and metal finishes and integrates seamlessly with light oaks or brighter metallics.

For those not ready to go all in on incorporating the vibrant hue, Peach Fuzz still fosters a compassionate connection and easy conversation when used as an accent wall or in textiles.

Whether you’re a décor enthusiast or just love a pop of freshness in your space, this year’s color will spark your creativity and revitalize your surroundings in the most delightful way possible.

So, let’s explore different ways you can weave the coziness of Pantone’s 2024 Color of the Year into your home design.

1. Add an Accent Wall

A peach-colored accent wall creates an environment that is both energizing and serene. The versatility of Peach Fuzz allows you to pair it with various styles and color palettes, resulting in a fresh and contemporary feel.

It’s also an excellent color for rooms with less natural light, as the peach brings a glow to the space regardless of the amount of daylight. Try incorporating it in a smaller space like a powder room through a visually interesting wallpaper for an extra pop. Need more guidance? Check out our blog on how to choose the right wallpaper!

Using an accent rug in your space is not only functional but stylish as well. It’s comfortable underfoot, protects your flooring, and is a great way to showcase your taste. Peach Fuzz is a great way to add a pop of color to any space. Play with different styles and patterns to find one you love – just be sure to choose the right rug size.

4. Introduce New Artwork and Décor

Peach Fuzz is great as a pop of color as it warms up a space without being too overbearing. Use it as an accent color within beautiful prints on large and small scales or a solid paired with an interesting texture like a boucle or weave.

5. Floral Arrangements

Peach Fuzz is incredibly versatile as it is complemented by neutral tones such as cream and pairs well with greenery. The easiest way to try this color in your home with minimal commitment is with a stunning floral arrangement. Fresh flowers instantly make a space feel more inviting, so bring in a bouquet of pale peach roses to instantly add a pop of color in any room of the house.
