It has become something of a tradition that we explore the Pantone Colour of the Year and the Flooring trends which complement it. This year we are looking specifically at Luxury Vinyl Flooring which complements this year’s colour of the year - Peach Fuzz!

When it comes to interior design, staying ahead of the curve is essential. And one of the most influential factors in any space is the flooring. In 2024, the Pantone colour of the year, Peach Fuzz, is set to make a splash in the design world.

This year, Pantone is celebrating 25 years of its ‘Colour if the year’ programme. Each year, Pantone captures the essence of the year, a snapshot in time through colour, and looks ahead to the future. Last year's ‘Viva Magenta’ was a bold statement and a hard act to follow! For 2024, Pantone has chosen Peach Fuzz, a delicate shade sitting between pink and orange providing a soft hue said to represent a desire to nurture kindness, compassion, and connection - all the while being peaceful and cosy! The name Peach Fuzz also brings to mind the sense of touch and the importance of texture and tactile surfaces in our homes. The 2024 Pantone colour of the year Peach Fuzz brings about a sense of nostalgia with a contemporary twist.

So, how can you incorporate this trendy hue into your flooring? Let's explore the flooring trends for 2024 and discover how Peach Fuzz complements LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) flooring.

Peach Fuzz: The Colour of Elegance

Peach Fuzz, a soft and warm shade of peach, exudes elegance and sophistication. This colour brings a sense of tranquility and comfort to any space.

When paired with LVT flooring, it creates a harmonious and visually appealing combination. Whether you are going wall-to-ceiling Peach Fuzz or hoping to nod to the shade with accessories and small touches, complementing LVT flooring can bring you space together into a cohesive design, pleasing to the eye and designed to withstand the test of time. Pairing the longevity of LVT flooring with the future-proof shade ‘Peach Fuzz’, your home will be injected with life and sophistication.

LVT Flooring: The Perfect Canvas

LVT flooring has been gaining popularity in recent years due to its durability, versatility, and affordability. It mimics the look of natural materials like wood and stone, offering a wide range of design options. With its textured and durable surface, LVT flooring provides the perfect canvas for showcasing the beauty of Peach Fuzz.

Luxury Vinyl Flooring is a product that can look like genuine stone or wood flooring in a range of styles, effects and designs. Most commonly found in the form of Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) or Luxury Vinyl Planks (LVP), this flooring type is indistinguishable from the real thing!

With a multi-layer construction of; a solid vinyl backing, a rigid core, the print film layer and a clear protective layer finished with a Polyurethane coating, it will withstand the toughest of environments.

Beyond basic visual impact, the advanced manufacturing techniques used to create both tiles and planks in Luxury Vinyl allow for the texture and feel of wood or stone to be created. Wood grain, for example, can be embossed into the tile to give that realistic feel of walking on hardwood floors.

It is a common misconception that the design will wear out through use, but as the design is printed on the film layer which is underneath the clear wear-layer, your floor will be guarded against walk-off and scuffs and scratches.

Due to the protective wear-layer of Luxury Vinyl Flooring, your stylish and hardwearing floor requires minimal maintenance in the form of mopping and sweeping as-and-when needed, to maintain that as-new look. Additionally, depending on the thickness of the wear-layer and any additional coating options, it could be up to 10 years before it needs to be reapplied. It couldn’t be easier!

Complementary Colour Schemes

When incorporating Peach Fuzz into your LVT flooring, consider complementary colour schemes to enhance the overall aesthetic. Pairing Peach Fuzz with cool tones like mint green or icy blue creates a refreshing and modern look. On the other hand, combining Peach Fuzz with warm neutrals like beige or taupe adds a touch of coziness and sophistication.

Peach Fuzz is a surprisingly versatile colour for the home ( or even a commercial space!). There are numerous colourways which work well to incorporate and enhance the orangey-pink hue. Here are some of our suggested palettes that work well with Peach Fuzz:

Earth Tones: Perhaps the most obvious (for good reason). Earthy tones such as soft greens, terracotta and dusky pinks enhance the natural muted Peach Fuzz. These kinds of palettes can create a spanish/south american ambience (in its stronger forms) or nod to a delicate English Garden!

Karndean: Indiana LLT202

Soft Greys: Peach is classically well paired with soft greys (think Dove or pale slate to enhance cooler tones or go for a bluish grey or lavender grey so highlight the warmth).

Karndean: Grey Scandi Pine KP131

Gentle Yellows: a soft contrast to Peach Fuzz can be created with pale yellows to give a spring/summer joyful feel.

Amtico: Linden Oak SB5W3010

Pastels: Pastel tones can be a really fun way to complement Peach Fuzz. Soft versions of mint green, mauve, Cornflower blue and pale pinks/oranges create a delicate but interesting scheme.

Karndean: Blush Oak VGW107T

Metallics: Touches of champagne, rose gold or even light bronze/copper can be a cool injection of glamour to Peach Fuzz. Adding metallic details to a space can make Peach Fuzz pop!

Karndean: Opus Forma SP214, Amtico: Verdigris Burnished Metal AR0ARH33

Dark and Bold: Peach Fuzz itself is a delicate and enchanting colour, why not create a dramatic juxtaposition with deep and bold colours? Jewel tones in the blue or green realms can enhance the softness of the Peach in a really gorgeous way.

Amtico: Stucco Indigo AR0AUC91

Neutrals: Keeping your space fresh and airy with off-whites, creams and sandy beiges can allow for a more subtle approach to this hue.

Karndean: Pearl Oak LLP306

Monochrome: Why not really commit and create a striking monochromatic space in various shades of Peach from either side of Peach Fuzz with light and deep peaches!

Amtico: Light Cherry AR0W7060

With these in mind, there are numerous flooring options that will complement any variation of a Peach Fuzz colour scheme.

Pattern Play

Another way to incorporate Peach Fuzz into your LVT flooring is through patterns. Whether it's a herringbone, chevron, or geometric design, patterns can add visual interest and depth to your space. Consider using Peach Fuzz as an accent colour in the pattern, creating a focal point that draws the eye.

Balance with Texture

Texture plays a crucial role in interior design, and it can elevate the overall look and feel of your space. When combining Peach Fuzz with LVT flooring, consider incorporating different textures to create a balanced and visually appealing environment. For example, pair a smooth or lightly textured LVT flooring with a plush and textured area rug in Peach Fuzz.

Upholstery and accessories can also provide texture and interest in a room. Consider interesting throw cushions and plush blankets as well and fabric lampshades, metal fixtures or wooden trinkets such as bowls or baskets to add variety to your home.

Timeless Elegance

While trends come and go, some design choices stand the test of time. Peach Fuzz, with its timeless elegance, can be a long-lasting and versatile choice for your home and choosing a complementing LVT flooring can enhance this (as well as provide a stunning foundation for future decorative changes). Its soft and warm tones create a welcoming atmosphere that never goes out of style.
