At Curtains by Design, we always celebrate the Pantone Colour of the Year. For 2024 we are excited by a wonderful soft, warm hue whose pink/orange undertones convey a radiant charm with vintage elements and a timeless quality.
Pantone has described this colour as “representing an embrace of kindness and a welcoming fuzziness capturing a sense of empathy and connection”. In acknowledging this collective yearning for togetherness and comfort, Pantone has produced Peach Fuzz as a way for us all to be able to feel a sense of calm after a few years of turmoil and uncertainty.

The nurturing calmness of Peach Fuzz allows us to identify a connection to the world around us, the beauty of nature and the serenity of our surroundings while we all live in a fast paced and technology focussed society. The muted notes encourage a desire for rest of the mind and the body while promoting a sense of hope and promise for a brighter more tranquil year ahead. Think spring flowers and sunsets to bring some warmth into your home.

How we will be using it…
Introduce peach into your home as an accent in cushions, curtains, rugs or lampshades, paint an entire room or add a feature wallpaper and the delicate muted shade will cocoon any space with a radiant warmth and lightness.
Harlequin Habanera Coral, Harbour, Lime fabric £69/m
Osborne & Little Samode Blush fabric £185/m
Romo Euphoria Coral Island fabric £75/m
Team these peach, pinky tones with other neutrals and pastels, including soft hues of green and blue to complement, but also don’t be afraid to marry with richer, darker tones for another layer of interest and added depth.
These colours all work exceptionally well in floral and botanical designs as they further evoke a connection to the outdoors and enhance the natural aspect. The versatility of the peach/pink hue enables it to work just as well in more contemporary spaces and schemes; use to soften the harder edges of geometric and linear designs.

For the furniture and accessories in a pastel peach room, consider products that are natural in look and composition. Include wooden flooring and pieces of furniture, add in accessories made of stone, clay, wicker or rattan and use fabrics that are linen, leather or cotton to continue the warm, natural themes. Add in some large cushions, pouffes and throws with lots of texture to magnify the cosy, inviting ambience created by the beautiful peach.
