Find joy, comfort and compassion in Pantone's colour of the year: Peach Fuzz

This delightful shade, chosen by Pantone, brings a sense of connection and warmth to any space.

Peach Fuzz marks the 25th Colour of the Year, decided by drawing upon many influences throughout the year across production, entertainment, art and design as well as socio-economic conditions.

Pantone describes the colour as ‘communicating a message of caring and sharing, community and collaboration’ as well as creating ‘a welcoming ambiance’ and ‘promoting feelings of gentle warmth’ in interior spaces.

We talk to designer Gill Thorpe on the inclusion of peach in her latest rug launches and why she was drawn to using them within her designs.

‘I was really drawn to the way that it opened up the palettes, making them feel more light-hearted and playful. Traditionally, the undertone of many rugs is a more neutral beige or yellow hue, so I wanted to explore some designs in a contemporary version of this with an uplifting peachy mood. I felt that it would make rugs, especially those in a two-toned palette, more elevated and exciting.’

Peach in its various shades, has heaps to offer interior spaces, whether leaning towards a neon-orange hue or a softer pastel pink tone, the colour can create a refreshing and welcoming mood with a contemporary edge. The trick is in finding the balance of colour and texture.

On that note, here’s a range of our rugs that include this hue of Peach Fuzz, take your pick!
