Peach Fuzz: Pantone Color of the Year

One of the most anticipated color trends each year comes from Pantone. This year, Peach Fuzz takes the spotlight.

This soft, inviting hue brings a sense of warmth and inclusivity to any space.

Nuevo (pictured left) brings the color to modern life by going tone-on-tone, another trend of 2024. If you’re looking to add this color palette to your home, here are some creative ways to incorporate Peach Fuzz into your home.

Add a Touch of Peach Fuzz

• Accent Wall: Paint one wall in your living room or bedroom in Peach Fuzz to create a cozy focal point.
• Throw Pillows: Add a pop of Peach Fuzz with throw pillows on your sofa or bed for a subtle yet stylish touch.
• Bedding: Upgrade your bedding with Peach Fuzz sheets or a duvet cover for a soothing, comforting feel.
• Rugs: Anchor a room and tie together your decor with a Peach Fuzz rug. Pair it with neutral furniture for a subtle look, or use it to add a pop of color to a more muted palette.
• Furniture: To add a touch of elegance to your space, consider a statement piece like an accent chair or ottoman in Peach Fuzz.

More Trending Colors and Hues

• Peach Fuzz leads 2024’s warm home décor trends with desert-inspired terracotta, ochre, and spice colors in textiles, wallpaper, and artwork.
• Neutral tones range from milky whites to chocolate browns, with mushroom and almond beige also popular.
• Gemstone hues like emerald green, garnet, and sapphire blue can be easily used to add luxury to any room.

Luxurious Textiles & Patterns

Textiles have a rich history in North Carolina. It’s always interesting to see how they have evolved over the years.

In 2024, textured fabrics offer endless options, allowing you to have multiple shades of “white” in one room. Tone-on-tone layering will be a major trend this year, so embrace these choices to brighten your space!

This inspirational bedroom by Bernhardt demonstrates the trend exceptionally well.

Bouclé, pronounced ‘boo-clay’, remains popular, named for the French word for ‘curled’ or ‘looped’, emphasizing its characteristic looped, curly fibers. Velvet is also trending, adding luxury to any room, and performance fabrics are on the rise for their durability and stain resistance.

Upholstery details like flange welts are currently popular, bringing a sense of heritage and craftsmanship to modern furniture.

Wallpaper

Wallpaper has evolved beyond your grandma’s house. It’s a fun way to add color and personality to your space. From cheerful floral patterns in bedrooms to subtle modern designs in living rooms, there are countless options to add texture and life to your walls.

Whether you prefer traditional patterns with modern colors, vintage florals, or contemporary stripes, applying wallpaper is now easier than ever. Peel-and-stick designs require minimal setup and tools, making them a more accessible alternative to traditional wallpaper.

Popular Patterns

This year, patterns are making a statement! Bold floral prints in vibrant color combinations are having a moment. Geometric designs, small-scale patterns like houndstooth, and candy cane stripes are also on trend.

Embrace the fun and add some funky patterns to your decor this year!
