Peach-Perfect: Pairing Rugs with Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2024

2024's second major milestone in colour is here: the unveiling of Pantone's Colour of the Year. This influential choice mirrors the prevailing cultural zeitgeist and forecasts design trends for the upcoming year. It captures the essence of the collective mood, aspirations, and inspirations, serving as a pivotal reference for designers and enthusiasts alike.

Incorporating Pantone's Colour of the Year into your home decor can be both inspiring and rejuvenating. Choosing a rug that either matches or complements this trendsetting shade, especially when it's echoed in other room elements, can dramatically alter the ambience of your space. It's a way to make a modern style statement, bringing fresh energy and vibrancy to your living environment.

Looking to make a statement like this in your home? We’ve listed a few luxurious pieces below that we think will pair perfectly with Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2024.

What is Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2024?

Pantone has chosen Peach Fuzz as its Colour of the Year for 2024. As the name suggests, it’s a light peach shade, touching on oranges and pinks with possible hints of yellow. Warm and welcoming, it’s reminiscent of the rosy glow of the early morning or late afternoon sun.

Peach Fuzz is a “nurturing” tone that “inspires us to instinctively want to reach out and touch”. This should inspire you to think of features for your home where the colour can be used or matched and this tactile interest fully explored.

Matching Your Rugs to Peach Fuzz

We offer a diverse collection of rugs that beautifully complement Peach Fuzz. While the choice of how to style your space remains yours, our expert recommendations can guide you towards finding the rug that aligns with both your style and your vision for your home's interior design.

Colour Matching

The first thing you might think to do is find a rug directly in the Peach Fuzz colour or a closely matching shade. This might also mean looking at colours that would sit adjacent to it on the colour wheel – another orange, pink, or yellow, for instance.

You might consider something like our Michelle Collins Modern AB0156 Terra Ivory rug:

Our Hush Coral Pink rug:

Or our SheepSkins Hug Peach rug:

Other Complementary Shades

If you’ve already decided on which features in your home will sport a new shade of Peach Fuzz, and none of these are rugs, you can also choose a rug in a hue that complements the colour.

Deep Blues

Sitting opposite orange (and other shades around Peach Fuzz) on the colour wheel, one of the most dynamic and interesting shades you could pick is blue – royal or navy works well.

A Range of Greens

Different shades of green bring out the warmth and vibrancy in Peach Fuzz, while the peach tones provide a soothing and inviting counterbalance to the greens, making them a harmonious pair in interior design.

Warm Terracotta

A darker orange shade like Terracotta beautifully matches Peach Fuzz due to their shared warm undertones. Both colours evoke feelings of warmth and comfort, creating a cohesive and inviting space.

Going for Gold or Brass

Metallic accents, especially in gold or brass, can enhance the warmth of Peach Fuzz, adding a touch of glamour and elegance.

Shades of White or Off-White

These neutral shades provide a soft background that allows Peach Fuzz to stand out without overwhelming the space. They bring a light, airy feel that complements the gentle warmth.

What About Grey?

It may come as a surprise, but a soft grey forms a chic, contemporary pairing with Peach Fuzz. It offers a modern contrast without being too stark, maintaining a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Pattern Participation

If the other features of your room are relatively plain, or even if you’re going for a maximalist approach and looking to make everything bold, you can bring in patterns to suit Peach Fuzz.

A matching modern pattern example might look something like our Brooklyn 21830 Grey Blue rug:

Meanwhile, a more traditional offering might be something along the lines of our Living Treasures LI01 Rust rug:

Tactility and Texture

The main attraction of Peach Fuzz is its visual interest and the tactility it brings. Having rugs that complement this, and that are as interesting to touch as they are to look at, should help to turn your entire room into a sensation.

You might go for something plush that invites you to plunge your hands into it, like our Polar PL95 Grey rug:

You might want something with different pile heights like our Harrison Sage rug:

You might even want a different texture in different parts entirely, like our Paloma PA01 Zanzibar rug:
