When Pantone released its 2026 color of the year, Cloud Dancer, the company described the shade as “a billowy white imbued with a feeling of serenity” and “a symbol of calming influence in a frenetic society rediscovering the value of measured consideration and quiet reflection.” The color has received mixed reviews, but many designers agree there are ways you can infuse this color into your interiors that go beyond the paint on your walls. Consider these designer-selected items inspired by Pantone’s pick.
Artisan Studio Handcrafted Candle Holders
Pottery Barn
If you opt to paint a room a deeper color, Redstone Interiors senior designer Britt Wille suggests considering lighter accessories inspired by Cloud Dancer, like these Artisan Studio Handcrafted Candle Holders from Pottery Barn.
Belgian Heavyweight Textured Linen Drapery
RH
Designer Katie Brandt loves adding white Belgian linen to rooms. Try Belgian Heavyweight Textured Linen Drapery from RH to make a statement. The fabric is loomed at Libeco, the oldest and most trusted Belgian mill.
Soto Chair
Joybird
Pantone’s exclusive collaboration with Joybird brings its calming hue to tactile fabrics on pieces like the Soto Chair. Inspired by Danish and mid-century modern designs, it’s part furniture, part art.
River Stone Coffee Table
Phillips Collection
Rooted in nature, the sculptural River Stone Coffee Table by Jason Phillips adds an unexpected moment of interest and lightness to the room while also serving a very utilitarian purpose, recommends Alissa Ochs of Gemhaus Design.
Almost Rogue Rug
O'Hara Interiors
Lauren Hanson at O’Hara Interiors likes this custom Fay + Belle Almost Rogue rug (pictured above in Martha O’Hara’s dining room in Minneapolis) made with luminous natural silk. Fine fibers catch the light and subtly shift in tone throughout the day, allowing it to be styled within different spaces.
