Soft peach

I’m trying to find a colour for my bedroom and considering soft peach - is it too 80s or due a revival?

The rest of my house is white/grey/blue and I’m now craving some colour!

Ooooft. Intrigued..

Do you think you'll like it it your bedroom with soft peach? If so, do it! Who cares what's 'dated' or not?

I think it could look really good. Have a look on Pinterest for ideas.

Very 80s, especially with green/jade and some rag rolling and stencilling. Could be due a revival but not in my house, I had it all first time round!

I've recently used a chalky pink which I love. It's called soho house but can't remember the make. My parents had a peach bedroom in the 80s, it could work again with the rattan trend 🤷‍♀️

If you like it, go for it - I'm a big advocate for decorating your house however makes you happy, screw what other people might think!

I have a peach colour in a couple of rooms (rosy peach by valspar) - in one room the colour goes about 5/6 up to the ceiling with an off-white the rest of the way, and in another it goes up about a third of the way and the top of that is scalloped and again with the off-white above it up to the ceiling for balance. If it wasn't so outing I'd share photos, but I love it! If I was doing floor to ceiling I'd probably go for a much paler version, it could be quite intense otherwise.

Agree with PP about it looking great with ratan!

We had rattan bedroom furniture too. We gave it away, I wish we'd kept it

We have farrow and ball faded terracotta in one of our rooms. It’s beautiful and recently won paint colour of the year so we were ahead of trend with it 🤣 So warm and reminds me of Spanish buildings.

Well it's one of the colours you can get 'off the shelf' so it's still being used. I have customers who use this colour a lot.

Pixiedust1234 · 27/08/2022 22:30

I have that colour in my front room and bathroom. I love it. It gives a gentle warming glow at night which feels comforting in the freezing depths of winter.

Rebelmcstreettuff · 27/08/2022 22:31

Yes I had peach decor,boarders,picture rails the lot.
Please rethink 😜

I have Farrow and Ball’s Setting Plaster in my bedroom which is a dull pinky peach and it makes me happy every time I look at it.

I’ve got peach in a room with navy. I regret it, it’s not right. Probably the wrong shade of peach so if you go for it, choose carefully!

felulageller · 28/08/2022 13:49

It's a lovely colour. Who the f cares what's 'in fashion'??

Saz12 · 29/08/2022 22:10

I think it’s a great colour - a warm relaxed glowy thing!
Assuming you don’t pair it with Laura Ashley style flouncy curtains and wallpaper borders...

CallmeMrsPricklepants · 29/08/2022 22:11

Sounds dangerously close to terracotta. Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen will be round to put up a dodgy shelf in no time.

EdithStourton · 29/08/2022 22:20

Instant 80s flashback here.

I like terracotta, but was never keen on peach.

We have that colour in our courtyard and I absolutely love it. It looks great in the morning sun and different but equally lovely with the lights on at night. It feels like we're sitting in the garden of a villa in Italy instead of one in zone 2.

DramaAlpaca · 29/08/2022 22:37

Instant 80s flashback here too. I didn't like it then and I'm not sure it's very now. Terracotta is much better.

megosaurusrex · 29/08/2022 22:54

If it's done well it could look really nice!

I'm with you @felulageller! Am a firm believer in wear what you like and decorate your home how you like.

I just did my bathroom in F & B Setting Plaster

It's very peach
