With the announcement of Peach Fuzz as PANTONE’s Colour of the Year 2024, the House & Garden team are bringing their predictions for the next trending colour to the fore. We are tickled peach that the PANTONE Colour of the Year 2024 is Peach Fuzz since House & Garden SA Decor Editor, Edwain Steenkamp predicted this colour in our October November issue, coining the shade as ‘apricot’.
Here are the other colour trend predictions from our talented team:
Cool Matcha Green
A return to the natural space, encouraging tranquillity and relaxation, this cool toned matcha shade is where I think we’ll be heading as we try to restore calmness back into our lives. It has been a tumultuous few years to say the least, and I think this serene shade will offer a sense of growth, renewal and harmony ― Yashna Balwanth, Acting Editor-in-Chief.
Apricot
Somewhere between the boldness of 2022’s Viva Magenta, the phenomenon of Barbiecore, and the slow but mammoth approach of Quiet Luxury, I think we’re going to find an easy middle ground. We’ll take a few drops of each influence for a much softer — but still striking — shade of colour. All hail Apricot! ― Edwain Steenkamp, Decor Editor.
Deep Aubergine
It’s a shade that entered (and exited) the zeitgeist multiple times throughout history. From royalty to emo kids, the colour purple has cemented itself as a daring shade. My pick of the bunch is a touch darker, a bit moody, but nonetheless beautiful. Welcome to the stage, deep aubergine. ― Walter Hayward, Managing & Syndication Editor.
