The Pantone Institute identifies 2024 as the year of Peach Fume, often described as peach fuzz. This soft hue works beautifully as an accent in interiors, though it is wise to avoid saturating a single room with this shade. Designer and product director Ksenia Kuznetsova of the interior company Mr.Doors shared these insights with socialbites.ca.
She cautions that there is a real risk of overdoing the effect indoors when textures and tones lean heavily toward such shadows. Her advice is simple: involve design professionals when shaping a concept that uses Peach Fume as a prominent feature.
In Kuznetsova’s view, Peach Fume shines best as an accent color in living areas. It pairs well with a variety of textures and materials, bringing warmth and character to the space without overwhelming it.
Embracing a broader trend of mixing styles in a single environment, Peach Fume can become the main color for textiles and decorative items. Think cushions, throws, drapery, and curated decorative pieces that add depth without dominating the room.
She notes that the shade can be particularly effective in rooms with limited daylight. In color psychology terms, warm, enveloping tones are recommended for spaces with north-facing windows. Peach Fume helps alter the perceived size of the room, creating a cozier and more inviting atmosphere. For balance, Kuznetsova suggests pairing it with more classic natural tones to keep the palette grounded and timeless.
Historically, fashion brands have used color to signal mood and seasonality beyond interior design. As an example, the Jacquemus brand once opened its first boutiques in the mountains, illustrating how an aesthetic can translate across industries and locations, resonating with audiences who crave warmth and a touch of nature in their surroundings.
