A new year brings a new Color of the Year from Pantone, the world’s leading color authority. For 2024, Pantone’s Color of the Year is Peach Fuzz and, lest the color peach conjures up images of old and outdated styles, think again.
Peach Fuzz evokes closeness and personal reflection in a nurturing and tactile shade — in other words, it’s the color that the world needs in 2024. “PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz captures our desire to nurture ourselves and others,” says Pantone in its introduction to the Color of the Year. “It's a velvety gentle peach tone whose all-embracing spirit enriches mind, body, and soul.”
A color like Peach Fuzz can pair with other shades of peach for versatility and variety. “Light pastel peaches are often seen as sweet, pleasant, and friendly,” the Adobe Express blog points out. “Bright and intense peach colors, on the other hand, can symbolize vitality, energy, playfulness, and encouragement.”
We’re going to take a look at how CORT Events can help you create an event space that’s vibrant, comforting, and on-trend by incorporating Peach Fuzz into your design.
Creating Intimate Spaces With Peach Fuzz
In a modern event, it’s crucial to build serene spaces that allow attendees to find moments of quiet reflection or personal connection in your event plan. Peach Fuzz is the ideal color for creating these intimate, reflective spaces.
“The color we selected to be our Pantone Color of the Year 2024 needed to express our desire to want to be close to those we love and the joy we get when allowing ourselves to tune into who we are and just savor a moment of quiet time alone,” Pantone notes.
You can achieve these types of spaces with layout and design ideas that encourage personal reflection and comfort, and tones in the Peach Fuzz family are the key to serene spaces. CORT has options that allow you to make this look a reality.
For example, the Valencia Chair combined with the Marche Boho Ottoman in Durango and the Impact Shag Rug in Cream is perfect for a quiet space. The texture of the rug and chair fit the Peach Fuzz aesthetic, while the chair and ottoman incorporate Peach Fuzz-colored tones.
Customization and Brand Personalization With Peach Fuzz
One of the fastest-growing trends in event planning is customization and personalization. Customizing an event to fit your brand is one way to ensure an unforgettable event experience. What’s especially exciting is that you can harness this trend and Color of the Year Peach Fuzz simultaneously.
Branded pillows, fabric covers for soft seating, table covers, boxwood hedges, and ottomans can incorporate Peach Fuzz, and CORT has options that will bring those tones into your branded event design. Bring in your branding with the Brighton Armless Chair Fabric Cover and Brighton Loveseat Fabric Cover on soft seating, tables like the 20.5” Round Logo, and decor elements like the Boxwood Hedge 4' Logo. Personalized elements like these go a long way in creating a unique and memorable event experience that resonates with your brand’s identity.
Enhancing Peach Fuzz With Lighting and Ambiance
You don’t have to solely rely on furniture and decor to incorporate Pantone’s 2024 Color of the Year into your event. You can also bring in the calming and peaceful qualities of Peach Fuzz with lighting and ambiance.
Utilize CORT's Winter White Sheer Drapes or Beige Super Velour Drapes in combination with the Irvine Floor Lamp or LED Accent Light to bring in elements of Peach Fuzz tones even if you’re not using explicit peach-toned products.
The right lighting choices can accentuate the softness and warmth of Peach Fuzz within your event space, and creating a comfortable ambiance with Peach Fuzz tones can establish the calm and serene vibe that you want to achieve.
Textural Elements in Peach Fuzz Decor
Peach Fuzz is a shade built for texture because it evokes the desire for tactility. This makes Peach Fuzz an ideal base tone upon which to employ varied textures to enhance the overall sensory experience of your event.
“Visually arresting and inviting, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz is a nurturing peach tone that inspires us to instinctively want to reach out and touch,” explains Pantone. “Conveying a message of tactility that comes through in sueded, velvety, quilted, and furry textures, luxuriously soothing and soft to the touch, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz is an enveloping peach hue that awakens our senses to the comforting presence of tactility and cocooned warmth.”
Incorporating various textures can help you bring Peach Fuzz to life in event design. Decor items in CORT’s catalog offer rich texture along with Peach Fuzz tones. The Beige Super Velour Drapes, the Solid Pillow in Pumpkin Spice, the Frayed Lumbar Pillow in Spiced Orange, and the Nile Rug bring in exciting texture and incorporate Peach Fuzz tones.
Peach Fuzz and White: A Contemporary Combination
Incorporating white into your event design as a primary or statement color is another one of 2024’s big trends. White tones can serve as a neutral background or highlight another color, and in the case of Peach Fuzz, the combination can be trendy yet classy.
White and light neutrals can combine with Peach Fuzz for a minimalistic yet warm design that’s ideal for intimate spaces. Shades of white allow Peach Fuzz to stand out, creating an elegant and contemporary look.
