The word is out on Pantone’s 2024 Colour of the Year! They’ve chosen Peach Fuzz as an emblem for a year in which, after so long spent in isolation, we finally come together again. British sofa makers, Arlo & Jacob have embraced the move towards the warm and soothing, casting their modern furniture designs in this tranquil tone. They find it beautifully encapsulates the many comforts of home, while emitting a soft hum of energy that’ll have you floating happily throughout 2024.
There’s a very tactile quality to Peach Fuzz, evoking the feeling of stepping out of hibernation and towards loved ones, experiencing those face-to-face, skin-to-skin interactions we’d been missing. The hue has also got a very natural, human quality to it. It’s familiar and grounding while light and gentle. It offers a moment of respite while emitting a soft and soothing tone. Even the name itself is a welcoming one!
Peach Fuzz has a velvety, pinkish-orange quality to it, taking on a nurturing character. That, in tandem with its innate beauty as a colour, makes it a fabulous choice for an interior.
Arlo & Jacob recommend giving it a try as a wall colour, giving off a sense of warmth and quiet energy. It looks great in a monochrome palette, so adding some of their matching furniture to the mix, really ups the ante.
Consider going all-out with upholstery, opting for one of Arlo & Jacob’s handcrafted armchairs or sofas in this glorious glow.
Their style experts suggest going for a sure-fire Lupine fabric in the Apricot colourway to capture the look.
Their Agatha sofa is a popular choice, and for good reason! It’s got a classic character to it with an elevated, contemporary sleekness that makes it super versatile. The Ava design is also an excellent choice if you’re partial to the traditional split-cushion back. Either way, you can rest assured you’re bringing home top-notch British quality that comes complete with a lifetime frame guarantee.
If you’re not entirely sold on Peach Fuzz yet, you can start small! Try it out on one of Arlo & Jacob’s throw cushions or footstools, made bespoke in your choice of fabric. These small pops are sure to bring an element of cosiness and contentment to your space, setting the ideal tone as we stride into 2024.
