A velvety gentle peach tone, Peach Fuzz calls for connection and compassion as we look to the year ahead.
Rebecca Snowden, Interior Style Advisor at Furniture And Choice (FurnitureChoice.co.uk), shares 3 ways to style this cosy and playful colour at home.
1. Evoke the summer sunshine with peach
Described as a ‘perfect balance between pink and orange’, embrace peach’s warm and cosy qualities by choosing it as the primary colour in the bedroom. “Use peach to evoke the fresh summer sunshine on a sunny day,” Rebecca says. Choose a lighter peach tone alongside Peach Fuzz for two tone walls and balance with relaxing neutrals. Ground the room with a comfy grey fabric bed and white linen as well as wooden textures such as a rattan bedside table. Layer with pops of sky blue and peach accessories to complete the soft, feminine look.
2. Contrast peach with bold, vibrant green
“With peach’s gentle and nurturing elements fostering a close connection with nature, create a chic contrast with a bold and vibrant green in an open plan kitchen diner,” Rebecca says. “Pantone recommends pairing peach with blue-green hues like 16-5123 Baltic or 14-5416 Bermuda for a harmonious and peaceful feel.” Bring out peach’s soft and relaxing qualities by complementing it with a wooden dining table and oak flooring. Style the table with dining chairs and a bench to play up the casual and communal vibe.
3. Create a mindful space with peach
“Bring peach’s cosy sensibilities to the forefront with two tone peach walls in the living room,” Rebecca says. “Anchor the room with a grey faux leather sofa and layer with colourful cushions.” Tie the look together with mindful accents throughout the room to create a soothing ambience. Set the scene with natural textures that inspire the senses like a jute rug, rattan accessories and indoor greenery. Add personal touches such as artwork or personal photographs to inspire cheerfulness and prioritise wellbeing.
