Pantone 2026 Colour of the Year: Creating Cloud Dancer-Inspired Interiors

 Described by Pantone as a “whisper of calm and peace”, Cloud Dancer interiors offer moments of quiet respite.

Creating spaces that allow us to slow down and recharge is essential, and Cloud Dancer interiors do just that. Pantone’s 2026 Colour of the Year is more than a colour, though. It is a theme; a feeling of peace and security. The home is a place where we value this more than ever, making Cloud Dancer perfect for any room in the house. See how we recommend you use this dreamy colourway below.

 

Introduce Cloud Dancer Through Sheers

Whispy, ethereal sheer fabrics allow Cloud Dancer interiors to shine.

The dreamy nature of Cloud Dancer means that it looks beautiful when it catches the light. Using sheer fabrics allows light to gently filter through. This casts a warming glow into spaces. Use sheer designs with textured finishes to add subtle interest. To control the light and add privacy, layer sheers with curtains. Choose a textured curtain fabric such as a cosy weave or tactile embroidery. Instead, swap out curtains for a Venetian blind. These are perfect for diffusing sunlight. You can close them completely for privacy too.

Pair Cloud Dancer with Pops of Colour

Look to nature when considering other shades to use Cloud Dancer with.

Spotlight Collection

Use Cloud Dancer as the base for your scheme, layering with hints of colour throughout. The shade’s neutral tones make it the perfect starting point for any room. Use on walls, upholstery, or even curtains and blinds. Pair with nature-inspired colourways to create a calming feel. Look to dreamy blues and subtle greens. Add in warming neutrals to amplify the shade’s cosy factor.

Add Interest with Texture

Textured fabrics are a surefire way to add depth within more subtle colour schemes.

Tactile fabrics and Cloud Dancer go hand-in-hand. Combine a range of techniques together for interest. Use a weave or chenille for your upholstery fabric to add depth. Pair with embroidered curtains and cushions, as well as jacquards. Our new Skylight Collection boasts a rich gallery of texture. This is elevated by a showstopping palette. The collection is the perfect addition to Cloud Dancer.

Perfect Your Lighting

Create the right ambiance with a gentle glow.

Your lighting choices are as important as the fabric you select. Warmer lighting can help prevent spaces from feeling cool. This can sometimes happen when white is used prominently in a space. Use lamps instead of larger overhead lights for a more cocooning feel. Scatter these throughout the room to spread light evenly. Choose fabrics with subtle iridescent finishes too. These will catch the light beautifully.
