What in the Peach Fuzz?

Pantone's 2024 Colour of the Year, Peach Fuzz, receives mixed reactions, but here are some stylish ways to incorporate it into your home decor.

Pantone’s 2024 Colour of the Year warrants a ‘what were they thinking’ moment. Peach Fuzz is the most unfortunate name one could call a colour with ambitions to become the focal point of homes and walls for the next 12 months. Adding to the polarising effect: many on social media have already pronounced it boring.

But that’s not to say a few injections of the ‘subtly sensual’ shade — which Pantone declared inspires “feelings of community and collaboration, an air of calm, and a space to feel and heal” — can’t be incorporated. Perhaps less can be more, in this case. From cool, peachy coasters strewn on table tops to a stunning console in the entryway, here are a few options if you’d like to introduce a dash of the ‘in’ colour of the season.

Aadyam Handwoven

There’s no better way to introduce a subtle splash of peach (let’s leave the fuzz out of the equation) than with some cushions. These silk and viscose cushion covers with their warm yet vivid patterns are a great bet. Fluff them up on drawing room sofas or pile them on your bed, these will help you stay colour current without overwhelming your aesthetic.

Rug Society

This gorgeous floor essential is inspired by a summer trip to València, “a Spanish city where the heat is dominant and the colours vibrant”, as the brand puts it. With peachy yellow goodness dripping down one side — reminiscent of a bite of the citrusy fruit the city is renowned for — the contemporary hand-tufted natural wool and botanical silk rug is an infusion of warmth. We can see why Pantone feels the colour can create a space to “feel and heal”.
