Peach Fuzz resonates with feelings of warmth and comfort, which are particularly appealing after the challenging times of lockdown. Its tones evoke sunsets and the warm glow at the end of a workday in summer. Consider painting an entire room to infuse warmth and depth into the space.
However, if painting a whole room is too bold, incorporate this colour through homewares and decorative objects, such as cushions, throws, lamps, rugs and bed linen. In small decorative pieces such as vases and pots, it’s beautiful against the green of a potted plant. At a recent kitchen project in a converted Collingwood warehouse, I used Peach Fuzz to powdercoat a two-cylinder Qasair rangehood. This complemented the cabinetry in muted blues.

You can have a lot of fun using a trending colour, such as Peach Fuzz. Either use it at full strength for that pop of colour by adding rugs, throws, bathroom accessories or printed cushions on a neutral colour base. Or use it at half or quarter strength for a larger area.
According to Beaumont Tiles’ strategic design team, warmer tones are trending this year. Tile ranges such as Atmosphere Coral, Textile Coral, Feather Flamingo, Folio Alessia Compact, Folio Fontana River Pebble, Silhouette Fettle, and Terrina Brick Greek Wedding are fantastic examples of tiles that tone within this colour spectrum.

Peach tones emanate warmth and create a calming space. I recommend integrating these hues for rooms intended for relaxation, such as bedrooms, living rooms and dining spaces. You can incorporate this shade with paint; our equivalent is Apricot Icecream.
Similar shades include Lama, Yolande and Coffee Clay, which all evoke a nurturing and comforting feeling in the home. These shades, with orange undertones, pair best with warmer whites and neutrals. They can be accented with soft lemon and blue shades, as seen within this year’s Dulux Colour Forecast 2024 Solstice palette.

Peach Fuzz emerges as a re-invented style of the ever-popular ‘Millennial Pink’. What sets this tone apart is its shift towards a mature aesthetic. The dirtier, subdued tones of peach, rather than baby pink, give it an adult edge while maintaining a warm, inviting ambience. It’s like Millennial Pink grew up and got more sophisticated.
Peach plays beautifully into the earthy Mediterranean vibes we’ve witnessed in current interiors. We love subtly incorporating peachy tones through the use of marble and travertine. If you want to go bold, there are gorgeous peach-toned tiles you can use as an accent or a peach concrete basin for a feature on your vanity.

This impact colour can create a calm, soothing space. Appealing to all age groups, peachy tones work seamlessly in a kids’ play zone or nursery. You can also integrate this colour in soft furnishings, artworks and accessories in a layered fashion.
To achieve a consistent and harmonious colour scheme, use a neutral palette accentuated with white tones. Here, this creates a sophisticated, elegant atmosphere that’s welcoming and aesthetically pleasing.

Embracing warmth, comfort and relaxation, Peach Fuzz emanates an ambience of calm and serenity. This shade lends itself to different applications by either enveloping a room’s walls with a warm embrace or as a detail. This can incorporate curated pieces such as rugs or artwork.
Fabrics can be easily layered into this space, creating a welcoming feeling in a home. Combining a peach blush palette with warm autumn colours and natural wood tones creates texture and balance. Pair this exquisite tone with greys, blues and greens to add a cool element.

This shade blends seamlessly with various design styles, from modern minimalist to bohemian chic. It evokes nostalgia while still feeling contemporary – a rare, valuable trait in interior design. A single accent wall painted or wallpapered in Peach Fuzz can transform the energy of a room. Or incorporate this hue through textiles, such as throw pillows, blankets or upholstery, for a subtle yet impactful touch.
Art pieces or decor items can add a splash of colour. Or pair this colour with soft greens, creamy whites or light greys for a serene look. For a more dynamic contrast, navy blue or deep teal are stunning. It can also be combined with natural materials, such as wood, linen or terracotta, to enhance its earthy quality.

With my expertise in bespoke residential joinery, I see sensual swoops of peachy cabinetry and curved benchtops. This hue sits effortlessly among grey tones of porcelain tiles and accents of brass sanitaryware. It can also be paired with cooler colours, such as darker greens and crystal blues.
I recently used an earthly tone of peach in a master ensuite in Laminex Moroccan Clay for the joinery colour. I used a dark green hue of Cosentino’s Dekton Feroe for benchtops mixed in with smoky, taupe countertop basins by Seima and Arcisan brushed-brass basin tapware, to complement this. I also incorporated a decorative Morny wallpaper in Vert de Gris by Manual Canovas (from Colefax and Fowler), which provides an exotic backdrop.

A soft, warm tone like Peach Fuzz is timeless. At Koskela, we design products to last forever, so we only work with colours that will outlast trends or fads. And you can find this shade in a few of our fabrics and sofa ranges. Alternatively, a picture frame, book ends, or artwork adds a splash of peach into any room.
This hue pairs beautifully with most surfaces – light timber, bright metals, polished concrete, and darker woods. Because it’s a warm neutral tone, it works well with most other shades, such as beige, nude or dark neutral. It also pairs fabulously with cool blues, faded khaki or rich greens, which can be contrasted on softer fabrics and sofas.
