The attitude of designers to peach color in the interior of the living room is ambiguous. Some consider it eternal, others - banal, and still others generate ideas that give it a second life - and by no means on the sidelines.
A pleasant surprise for fans of this color was the fact that designers did not ignore it in 2018, using it as a neutral hospitable background in the interior. It went well with the warm autumn palette, the hottest trend for the next few years. Perfectly perceived next to fittings and decorations made of copper and brass, which are just being introduced into the new design. It softens the sharpness of metal structures - racks, lamps, fittings of chairs and armchairs.

What distinguishes the new peach color in the interior of the living room from traditional ideas? If earlier the room was decorated in gentle colors, then everything in the design was subject to a romantic mood. For example, white or cream curtains, translucent or lace, were selected. Floral motifs, continuing the insinuating feminine theme, filled the upholstery or wallpaper. Light, often white, frames, portals and doors set off the peach velvety of the walls. And crystal chandeliers, an obligatory attribute of a living room in peach tones!
And the white furniture! When she came into fashion, the peach color in the interior of the living room received a new breath. A calm harmony of delicate shades reigned in the hall, somewhat amorphous, but certainly sweet and friendly.
Living room interior in peach tones
What has changed? Peach tones have become a little cooler, now they seem to be visible through a gray haze, but remain in the warm spectrum of the fashion palette.
But the main thing is that eclecticism broke into the interior design. And if earlier she rather timidly defended her positions, was considered more as an experiment than the norm, now the art of combining opposites will have to be mastered by everyone who wants to keep up with fashion.

Against the background of neutral peach walls in the living room, industrial-style accessories rush to make themselves known. Loft and peach? Yes, now it is possible. And remember about autumn - its palette is in demand because it allows you to calm the aggression of the industrial style, adapt it to real life and make it more attractive to the average consumer. Peach fits in well with this concept.
Peach living room in a modern style
Of the lamps in special favor are copper chandeliers, large glass balls, tesla lamps. Lighting has become dispersed and multi-level - an excellent opportunity to show your artistic taste when choosing lighting fixtures - avant-garde or rare.
A variety of lamps will allow you to show your artistic taste
Instead of elegant white cabinets, chests of drawers and tables, furniture made of aged wood with a simple, solid cut penetrates into the peach living room. The surface of the array is often brushed, quite dark, with a complex texture.Fittings made of blackened metal or - attention - made of brass and copper, with a hint of antique. By the way, polished copper plays with heat especially effectively with the support of peach shades of the walls.

Artistic luxury
Incredibly popular natural stone. Imagine for a moment a sofa table with a marble top, but what to imagine - here it is, in a photo of a living room in peach tones from the catalog of an architectural design exhibition. A noble detail gives the interior a sharply modern character. Who dares to say that the peach color of the walls of this room is banal or old-fashioned?
A table with a marble top will be the highlight of the interior
Designer upholstered furniture on a metal frame deserves special attention. It is designed for comfortable rest, not for transformation into a sleeping place, and therefore its shape is ideal for sitting. Sofas and armchairs float on metal legs and do not seem bulky. The expressiveness of clear contours is best emphasized by the neutral background of the peach walls of the living room and the light floor.
The light floor emphasizes the delicate color of the peach walls.
The ability to present really worthy accessories so that they do not escape attention is a real art. It happens that luxurious artistic things are lost in a too colorful or low-contrast interior. In this sense, the peach walls in the living room are the perfect backdrop for decor. Have you seen many accessories in this color? Not? This means that what should be a highlight in the design of the room will certainly be in the spotlight.

What color should coexist in the living room with a peach tone, in accordance with the concepts of 2018?
Do not forget about the two key principles of the season: cold shades and autumn palette. It seems that they somewhat contradict each other, if only because the autumn gamma is exceptionally warm. But in the example of a fashionable living room in peach, you can see how its contrasting finishes and “cold” accessories emphasize it elegantly, enhancing expressiveness and at the same time lowering the color temperature of the room.
Accessories of cool colors enhance the expressiveness of peach
So, the idea is to cool the ardent nature of the base color, make it a contrasting party and enrich the palette.
Gray: Add Shadows
Gray, as a soft antagonist, helps to define the shape of the room - the gray floor, cornices, doorways set off the color of the walls and make you take a fresh look at the design. They encourage the use of a cold palette in furniture and accessories.
How to choose the right shade of gray? The easiest trick is to tone down the peach color with gray and use this new shade in the finish as a cooling addition.
Gray details will muffle the peach color
It is simple only at first glance. Complex shades of gray, namely complex ones, are extremely in demand in modern design. But tinting will have to be entrusted to professionals: it is easy for an amateur to make a mistake, and it is almost impossible to correct a mistake. Paint manufacturers are naturally aware of trends and offer ready-made palettes that include peach in different shades and friendly tones of complex gray.

cloud of pastel shades
An organic and optimistic union is made up of peach color and pastel colors. The Provencal living room in peach tones in the photo is remembered for the faded sky coloring of the door and the arched pediment above it. Such a color insert should be supported, for example, with a white and blue upholstery of an armchair or sofa.
A carpet with turquoise motifs is not placed on the bed to dissolve in the interior - it completely changes the character of the living room, adding a touch of uninhibited audacity. Turquoise will have to be repeated in an accent wall or furniture upholstery, otherwise it will be lonely.

Cream, vanilla and cream paints in the decoration do not argue with the peach walls in the living room, but give additional expressiveness to the cornices, arches and semi-columns. Fashion trends suggest choosing the coolest shades - this can be done using the patination method, adding snow-white, beige and gray “stains” to the texture of pylons and friezes. The other way is easier, it is to find ready-made elements that mimic the effect of brushing.

Blue sapphire - a pier in a foggy haze
The sapphire sofa is a tribute to the exquisite range of brutal design. What is he doing in the peach room? Well, first of all, it's beautiful. Second, it's trendy. Thirdly, he plays the role of an anchor. This is the fulcrum around which the entire ensemble is assembled. The noble blue color is necessarily repeated in accessories or the pattern of the carpet, but strictly dosed so as not to destroy the romantic spirit of the living room in peach tones, not to seize the lead. Without a large contrasting sofa, the living room would have remained somewhat amorphous, would not have acquired that rebellious character, which clearly indicates that it belongs to the present.
Actual combination of peach and dark blue tones
If blue and peach colors are found in the decoration on an equal footing, the living room acquires an exotic look, characteristic of the traditions of the countries of Southeast Asia. One of these energetic colors must certainly prevail, otherwise there is a color chaos. Since we are now considering blue as additional, it means that it occupies no more than a third of the space.
Blue must be present in the interior in doses
It is curious that in combination with orange-pink shades, blue does not cool the interior, but, on the contrary, emphasizes its fieriness.
dark line geometry
Thin graphic lines, rather than in black - it's too harsh and foreign, but in cold brown or blue, bring certainty to the unsteady space of a living room in peach tones. They designate the perspective, outline the zoning, highlight the essential elements, and at the same time leave the gentle appearance of the room intact. Bitter chocolate, wenge wood and ebony, sapphire, eggplant inspire the search for the right shade, which will become the antagonist of peach.
Black details emphasize zoning in the living room
The dark metal frame of the chair with an upholstered or wicker seat is a kind of mobile accent with which you can experiment, move around the room, drawing attention either to a soft corner in cream or powder shades, or to a niche with photographs.
Pink - the colors of a fiery sunset
Is it possible to combine peach with pink? After almost a decade ago, designers gave the green light to the union of fuchsia and orange, nothing surprises us anymore. The fiery oriental flavor came to the northern apartments, and so it remained in them. Of course, the design of the living room in peach and pink colors is not for everyone. Lover of exotic, spices and drive.
Boho style, Indian and Arabic motifs are amazingly embodied in the bright pink decor of the living rooms in peach tones in the photo, where the colors of the sun and sunset play the main role in the ornaments of upholstery, carpets, weightless curtains and brass reflections.
Colorful interior with bright pink decor
Pink and peach are not declared as a trend, but they are not inferior to their positions. This design lives in a narrow niche, it is in demand among informals, it is developed by enthusiasts and has not yet fully revealed its potential.
Violet accents - Arabic tales come to life
As with pink, the presence of purple in a peach living room design does not reflect the official 2018-2019 palette. However, interior fashion, fortunately, has never been limited to rigid frames.
Violet requires tact and delicacy - it is a very active color that can upset the balance of the living room palette in peach tones.. For example, purple curtains certainly suggest repetition in sofa cushions or carpets. In addition, in order to reduce the intensity of passions, it is desirable to separate the two leading colors with beige, white or gold. Dark brown furniture brings some stability.
Spectacular combination of peach and purple
All these recommendations lose their meaning if the interior of the living room in the Arabic style is made in purple-peach color. He lives according to other laws, he is picturesque, like arabesques, and ornate, like Arabian tales. In this luxurious ethnic style, flat colors and simple textures do not take root. Silk, velor, stones, metal in accessories and decor, rich decoration of arches and niches repeatedly reproduce purple and peach ornaments, never repeating.
Green decor
Fashionable emerald and coniferous shades of green discipline the design of the peach-colored living room, bringing it back from the world of dreams to reality. Strict and picturesque green accessories against the backdrop of pink-orange walls immediately focus on themselves. There shouldn't be many of them.
The third color is usually brown. Dark furniture and dividing contours in the drawings add even more definition to the contrasting design.
Green decor for the living room in peach tones
A special theme is living greenery on a peach background, but it deserves a separate discussion.
back to index ↑Perfect backdrop for live plants
It is hard to imagine a more successful backdrop for living greenery than peach walls in the living room, which favorably set off the color of the leaves and emphasize the contours of large exotic plants. The phenomenon of a warm base color is that it presents ornamental plants as the main decoration of the room. Even bright, active additions cannot outshine them.
Greenery in the house has become a kind of “must-have”, an indispensable accessory for interior design. In this regard, even those who are far from floristry learn to breed flowers. To help them, we can mention non-flowering crops, the care of which is simple, and the decorative effect is simply incredible. Monstera, ficus, fatsia can be safely attributed to them - these are large plants, they take up a lot of space, but any of them will overshadow a whole greenhouse of small and medium flowers in terms of decorativeness.
Peach walls are the perfect backdrop for plants
Smaller ones, for example, calathea, dieffenbachia, dracaena, need to be served correctly. To do this, designers offer not only stylish planters, but also high flower stands. Small plants are combined in compositions and look simply divine against the backdrop of peach walls in a spacious living room.
Flower arrangements look great
Any universal base color has proven, win-win interior decorating schemes and opens up endless possibilities for experimentation. But unlike beige, gray or white, the peach color carries a charge of energy that is transmitted to the inhabitants of the apartment. By adding additional colors to the design, you can muffle the activity or, conversely, enhance the temperament of the living room in peach tones, but in any case, it will remain cozy and welcoming.
