Peach room ideas: embrace Pantone’s colour of the year in 2024

In 2024, it’s out with the old and in with the new. And that means a new colour of the year to have on your radar!

Peach Fuzz (PANTONE 13-1023) has been announced as Pantone’s coveted colour of the year for 2024. It’s a gentle mix of pink and orange that conjures up images of plump fruit, tactile fabrics and soft sunrises – ideal for creating a warm yet calming tone in the home. Here, we’ll share some of our favourite peach room ideas to help you incorporate this on-trend shade into your decor.

About Pantone’s colour of the year

We’ve been living in a time of turmoil, uncertainty and global conflicts. Pantone’s colour of the year for 2024 has been chosen precisely with that in mind. It’s a delicate pink and orange blend that represents empathy, wellness, caring and peace.

Hopefully, with Pantone’s Peach Fuzz in your home, you’ll be able to remind yourself to prioritise moments of self-care – whether that’s finding time to rest, get creative or connect with those around you. While work and productivity have been measures of success for a long time, 2024 is going to be all about hopping off that treadmill and putting balance and lifestyle first. What better colour to remind you of that?

Peach room ideas to see in 2024

Ready to adorn your home with calming peachy tones? Here are 13 peachy peach room ideas to help you welcome in the new year in style.

1. Embrace peach with a feature wall

Here, a peach bedroom feature wall is teamed with plants and a wall-mounted sombrero, evoking laidback holiday vibes.

Feature walls are all about making a statement and drawing focus to the best parts of a room. Opt for peachy tones to bring your home bang up-to-date and infuse it with warmth and calm.

2. Experiment with peach colour-blocking

If you want to add something extra to a peach feature wall, why not experiment with colour blocking? Peach and dark grey create a striking contrast, bringing together light and dark; cold and warmth.

In this bedroom, the colour combo has even made its way into the bedding, making for a cohesive bedroom that anyone would love to stay in.

3. Invite some self-care with peach bathroom tiles

Level up your bathroom by decking it in peach-coloured marble tiles. It’s the perfect blend of luxury and on-trend. It’s ideal if your New Year’s resolution is to embrace a bit of self-care, or if you’re looking to recreate the quiet luxury design trend at home

4. Incorporate peach furniture in your interior design

Your favourite peach shades don’t just have to be reserved for your walls – instead, why not incorporate peach through your choice of furniture? This living room concept features a dark peach velvet sofa, which really pops against the charcoal wall panelling behind it. It’s the perfect way to make your seating area look oh-so-inviting.

5. Add subtle peach accents

If you’d rather incorporate Pantone’s colour of the year in a more subtle way, why not use it as an accent colour in a neutral living room or bedroom?

In this concept image, peach stands out in the oversized artwork, satin cushions and dried foliage. And best of all, it’ll be easy to switch it out for 2025’s colour of the year when the time comes!

6. Provide a warm welcome with a peach hallway

Your hallway is the first room that guests will see when they enter your home. And what better way to make a first impression than to drench it in welcoming peach tones?

Here, pale peach walls combine with a peach-coloured upholstered vintage loveseat and flowers to create a refined and classic entrance hall.

7. Colour drench with peach

This living room concept combines a bold peach shade with black and brass picture frames and metalwork to give it a modern edge.

Colour drenching is when you saturate a space in one colour to make a statement – and it’s set to be a big interior design trend for 2024.

Make peach your colour of choice to double up on this year’s trends and saturate your home with warmth and calmness.

8. Be the perfect host with a peach dining room

The way to any guest’s heart is through their stomach. So, your dining area is of the utmost importance if you’re hosting!

Drench it in peach tones or accessorise with peach touches – like the peach table cloth in this gorgeous dining room – to create a romantic and inviting environment that will impress any visitor.

9. Create a calming peach nursery

Whether you’ve got a little one on the way or you’re looking to revamp a toddler bedroom, this baby’s nursery will give you something to aim for.

We love how the homeowner has opted for two feature walls – one painted peach and the other boasting a gorgeous wallpaper with a peach raindrop pattern on it.

Add to that the peach curtains, cushions and stuffed bunny rabbit and that’s a nursery you just can’t beat!

10. Warm up a modern boot room with peach tones

If you have a boot room, don’t let mud and dirty wellies take centre stage. Instead, why not adorn the walls with a strong peach colour to counter the cold outside and warm you up after a soggy walk?

We love the monochrome storage and accessories here next to the peach walls for a look that’s full of fun.

11. Bare all with a peach plaster wall

If you’re a fan of the industrial aesthetic, consider a ‘less is more’ approach. Rather than painting your walls, opt for bare plaster instead.

The plaster wall in this concept image boasts peach tones in a mottled effect, which will bring a unique variation and texture to any space.

12. Create a spa-inspired bathroom with peach walls

In a recent poll that we conducted, hygge was rated a top home improvement trend of the past 25 years – as were spa bathtubs!

So, you can’t go wrong when you combine these trends with Pantone’s colour of the year to create a spa-like retreat in your bathroom.

Think a freestanding spa bathtub, peach-drenched walls, a cosy bathrobe, soft slippers, candles and a book to dig into… it’s the perfect new home project for the new year!

13. Go light and breezy with peach soft furnishings

Last but not least, consider combining peach with light neutrals such as white, cream and beige.

In this living room concept, light peach shades have been woven subtly through a neutral living room thanks to a flowing curtain, cosy blanket and accent cushion. The peach works just like a neutral but adds an extra layer of warmth to the space to make it feel truly special.
