At the start of every year, popular interiors brands announce their “color of the year.” It trumpets the year’s coming trends and helps each brand set a tone for the next 12 months. We love to see what’s trending in interiors, but more importantly, we love considering how these colors call back to their original inspiration—nature! Over the years, FLOWER has collected many colorful botanical arrangements. Let’s see which ones match 2024’s Colors of the Year!
1. PANTONE: PEACH FUZZ

This year’s PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz evokes a sense of comfort. When the world feels chaotic and overloaded, this color brings peace, nostalgia, and cheer to mind. Equally so, this elegant cascade of peach-toned flowers created by Cindy Brock and the team at Miss Milly’s Event Rentals, Florals, & Design for FLOWER‘s Atlanta Showhouse summons feelings of warmth and laid-back whimsy.

Glidden tapped Limitless PPG1091-3 for its Color of the Year. The color is close enough to beige to act as a neutral but warm enough to stand on its own as a fresh, inviting yellow. This versatile color evokes a sense of liveliness, confidence, and joy. Similarly, this cheery arrangement of yellows and beiges designed by Sullivan Owen could light up even the darkest of corners.

Dutch Boy creates a dignified but cozy green with Ironside 422-7DB. The color calls to mind images of a safe and protected forest where one might like to retreat. Likewise, Tattie Isles of Tattie Rose Studio likes to think of the wild and rambling shapes of nature to inspire her work. In this arrangement, the deep greenery is so lush that it surpasses the flowers for center stage.

Maria brings unexpected pastels to an autumn arrangement with pink quicksand roses, rosy snowberries, and green hellebores.
York Wallcoverings declared Bay Brown to be the must-have color of the season. Its rich, warm tone and simple elegance reference the quiet luxury trend and can easily work with a variety of other bolder and brighter colors. In her autumnal crescent arrangement, Maria Maxit uses the neutral and grounded colors of a changing season, such as the toffee-colored roses, to exude an understated elegance.
