How to decorate with Pantone's 'Peach Fuzz' Color of the Year 2024
The Pantone Color of the Year 2024 is Peach Fuzz — a warm neutral poised to replace the “millennial beige” shade Gen Z has spurned. The color, according to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute™, “resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.”
How to use Peach Fuzz, Pantone’s 2024 Color of the Year
Peach Fuzz eels playful, lending itself to the rising eclectic maximalism trend as much as the cozy cottagecore aesthetic. That said, it’s also neutral enough to fit into minimalist or modern homes. Here’s how to incorporate the peachy hue into your home and decor in 2024.
1. Paint it peach.
Add a warm, welcoming feeling to any room by swapping boring white walls for a pop of peach. Backdrop, a direct-to-consumer paint company that creates the on-trend colors you see splashed across every influencer’s Instagram page, has the perfect peachy hue. Try the shade Aperitivo Hour to match Pantone’s Peach Fuzz color of the year.
