Since 2017, Good Earth Plant Company has been keenly following Pantone’s Color of the Year. We keep current with design trends including color, so our projects fit current tastes and times, especially as we embrace the vibrancy of spring.
Forward-thinking businesses need to stay current with design trends to create the best possible experience for their customers. This is the reason so many companies are incorporating the principles of biophilic design into their buildings, and why they’re keeping us busy at Good Earth Plant Company by adding workplace plants, living walls, and other natural design elements. This trend is particularly pertinent during spring when the essence of growth and renewal is celebrated, making it a perfect time for businesses to rejuvenate their spaces.
Pantone dedicates six months to forecasting the Color of the Year, delving into emerging trends across fashion, cosmetics, home décor, paints, architecture, and even toy design. For 2024, Pantone has chosen Peach Fuzz (Pantone 13-1023), a color that embodies warmth and modern elegance. Laurie Pressman, Pantone’s Vice President, remarked that Peach Fuzz embodies “our desire to nurture ourselves and others”, highlighting themes of “caring and sharing, community and collaboration” which resonate deeply with the essence of spring.
The Importance of Color Trends in Biophilic Design
Color profoundly influences human emotions and well-being. Incorporating seasonal colors like Peach Fuzz, inspired by spring, can make workspaces not only visually appealing but also positively impact employee well-being, focus, and productivity.
Where We Can See Peach Fuzz in Biophilic Design
This color is often used in office design, commercial spaces, and consumer products that aim to reflect warmth, comfort, and modern times.
In San Diego and across Southern California, Peach Fuzz is often seen across the sky during a sunset. Below are more places you’ll likely see this color:
- Color schemes: Peach Fuzz can be utilized as a color choice for walls, furniture, or decorative elements in biophilic spaces.
- Botanical motifs: Incorporating Peach Fuzz or similar shades in patterns or motifs that resemble botanical elements, such as leaves or flowers, can infuse the design with a natural and organic feel.
- Details in natural materials: Peach Fuzz can be introduced using natural materials like wood, stone, or textiles.
- Consumer Products: Pantone quotes that Peach Fuzz reflects the past yet has been refashioned to have a contemporary ambiance, enabling it to seamlessly display its presence in both the physical and digital world. It’s an enticing shade for a variety of products, from food and beverage to cosmetics and accessories.
