What is Peach Fuzz, Pantone's Color for 2024?
Peach Fuzz is about warmth and nurturing not just ourselves but others, too. As Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute says,
"In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a color radiant with warmth and modern elegance. A shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless."
When selecting its color of the year, Pantone looks to connect with the general zeitgeist. For perspective, here are past Pantone Colors of the Year featured on this blog since 2019:
>> Viva Magenta Color of the Year 2023
>> Very Peri: A Design Color With Tranquil Energy For Your Life
>> Vibrant Yellow + Ultimate Gray = 2021 Colors of the Year
>> Add Calm and Stability to Your Floors and Walls with Classic Blue
>> Bring Your Flooring to Life With Living Coral
What we particularly love about Peach Fuzz is how versatile it is; you can easily incorporate tiny touches or strong statements that work well with other colors, textures, surfaces, and materials.
How to Translate Peach Fuzz For Your Home Design Inspiration
Coordinate Peach Fuzz With Tile Designs
One of our favorite tile examples of Peach Fuzz is Monterrey in the color Arizona Natural. You can install it as a focal wall for a dramatic effect or you can mix it with other surfaces.
The stunning natural beauty of the Americas inspires the Monterrey Collection. This unique collection brings together the rustic charm of terracotta with the elegance of ceramic tiles, creating a truly breathtaking aesthetic. The warm peachy terracotta hues of the color Arizona Natural are reminiscent of the seductive deserts of Arizona.
Not only does this collection offer a visually striking design element to any space, but the Monterrey Tile Collection is also built to withstand the test of time. Made from high-quality materials and carefully engineered for durability, these tiles are resistant to stains, scratches, and fading, making them ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
Monterrey tile coordinates beautifully with other tile designs as you'll see in these next few examples.
Whether it's a stone-inspired tile with beautiful surface patterns and subtle suggestions of peach, as you see here.
Or, an onyx-inspired tile surface such as 12x24 Tamami tile by Proximity Mills with stunning veins,
Or an even more subtle stone-look surface, Peach Fuzz enhances the beauty of the design.
Ibiza in color Coral belongs to the Amazonia tile collection, created by Estudio Cerámico, and offers a captivating blend of nature-inspired designs and exceptional craftsmanship. This inspiring collection draws inspiration from the lush landscapes of the Amazon rainforest, where exotic flora and fauna thrive in harmony.
Each tile is designed with meticulous attention to detail, capturing the vibrant colors and intricate patterns found in the depths of the rainforest. From powerful jaguars to vibrant tropical flowers, every tile breathes life into any space it adorns. Whether used as flooring, wall accents, or artistic installations, the striking designs of this collection will transport you to a world filled with wonder and serenity.
Here, too, add a touch of Peach Fuzz, and the natural beauty of Ibiza becomes even stronger.
As you saw from the onyx-inspired example, Peach Fuzz works well with that tonality. Go one step further with Artisan Mosaics in the color Onyx. This is a Lungaro Artisan Pressed Glass that exudes elegance and sophistication.
The pressing process creates a distinct texture and depth, showcasing the natural variations in color and pattern that are inherent in glass. The result is a breathtakingly beautiful tile that adds a touch of luxury to any space, especially when you add a touch of that warm peachiness.
We love this Simple Stone - Triangle Mosaics. The Lungarno Simple Stone Interlocking Triangle Mosaic is a stunning and innovative addition to any space. Notice how the solid tones pull out the mesmerizing tonalities and patterns. Whether used as a focal point or as an accent, this mosaic is sure to add sophistication and elegance to your living space.
Here are Casablanca Decos, a splendid fusion of artistry and elegance! Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Lungarno Casablanca Deco Tile showcases mesmerizing geometric patterns that evoke the glamour of the roaring 1920s. Its delicate symmetrical shapes and meticulously placed accents capture the essence of Art Deco's unique charm, inspiring true visual delight.
The deco in the color Champagne exudes a sense of tranquility and purity with its off-white base, perfect for creating an atmosphere of serenity. When you add a solid touch of champagne-like color, the design comes to life.
