2024 Commercial Trend: Stone Fruits
Stone Fruits
Peach and apricot hues are 2024/25's fruitiest trend and an exciting colour palette for designers to translate into retail and hospitality spaces.
With a demand for escapism, these velvety, soft hues of stone fruit have the power to transform any space into a place of refuge.
Layered with neutrals and naturals, Stone Fruits form the perfect foundational palette for designing uplifting havens.
Pair with turquoise, teals, purples and plums for contrast and playfulness. Layer tones and textures for a tactile experience.
Pantone named Peach Fuzz as their 2024 colour of the year, while WGSN named Apricot Crush as their colour of the year.
"In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a colour radiant with warmth and modern elegance. It’s a shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless."
- Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Colour Institute
Colour and Styling Considerations
Monochromatic
When designing for bold clients, go monochromatic, exploring varying tones of stone fruit and layering textures and finishes. Experiment by taking the colour all the way up the walls and onto the ceiling, creating a cocoonlike experience.
Colour Pairing
If all over peach and apricot doesn’t meet the design brief then pair with neutrals and naturals to create a safe, uplifting space or compliment with shades of teal, turquoise, greens, plums or purples for a more playful look.
Tactile
The Stone Fruits trend calls for tactility. Designers should layer textures and finishes thoughtfully to add depth – think Stone Fruit coloured vinyl flooring, ceramic elements, and sensory soft furnishings and natural, organic elements like woods and textured carpets or push the envelope and innovate with out-of-the-box finishings.
