Pantone's 2024 colour of the year has arrived, and a big chunk of the world collectively went, "Huh?" "Peach Fuzz? Is that even a colour? Isn't it just beige with a fancy name?" While some embraced the choice of this soft, muted shade of orange, meant to evoke warmth and coziness in our quest for togetherness, others weren't as kind, suggesting it might be better described as "slightly used bandaid" or "peach fuzz? more like butt fluff"! Ouch! Clearly, it wasn't what everyone expected. As lovers of vibrant colours, we might initially gravitate towards bolder hues, and I personally would have like to have seen it with a little more pink, but there's untapped potential in making Peach Fuzz shine when paired thoughtfully.

Craving more contrast?
Enliven Peach Fuzz by pairing it with vibrant greens or teals for a striking contrast! This unexpected duo injects personality and energy into any space. Picture a living room oasis with Peach Fuzz walls and lively teal accents or a bedroom retreat with soothing sage green touches. For a creative boost in your home office, experiment with emerald green accents against Peach Fuzz, creating a space that is both invigorating and calming. Embrace the contrast and fearlessly use bold shades for a truly dramatic effect.

Pink, Lavender and Gold for a Touch of Sweetness
Don't shy away from blending Peach Fuzz with various shades of pink and lavender! Introducing playful touches of pink infuses energy and excitement while maintaining a sense of warmth and comfort. Imagine a creamy Peach Fuzz base adorned with vibrant hot pink accents, akin to a scoop of raspberry sorbet on a delectable dessert. A hint of gold introduces a touch of glamour and sophistication, like the finishing sprinkle of edible glitter. This unexpected combination is ideal for a playful child's room or an opulent bedroom.

So, while Peach Fuzz may not immediately resonate with the maximalist colour lover, its versatility and warmth make it a viable option for a variety of styles, especially when artfully combined. Who knows, you might even develop an affection for Peach Fuzz (or at least be open to giving it a try)!"

It's almost Christmas and although it's not winter here in Aussie, all the fake snow in shops got us thinking about icy landscapes as a baby nursery theme. Transform your baby's room with a playful mountain decor that celebrates nature. The colour palette includes soothing shades of blue, soft pinks, and a pop of bright yellow, bringing a serene and lively atmosphere.
