2024 Residential Trend: Stone Fruits
Stone Fruits
Peach and apricot hues are 2024/25's fruitiest trend.
The velvety, soft hues of stone fruit have the power to transform any space into a place of refuge. Layered with neutrals and naturals, they add a bit of sunshine without overpowering a room.
When designing for clients who prefer a bit more contrast in a space, pair with turquoise or teals to add a surprising element of elegance to a room.
This trend is all about cosy, quiet sophistication. 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.
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 plaster-washed walls, ceramic elements, sensory soft furnishings and natural, organic elements like wood and textured carpets.
