On Thursday in New York, Pantone unveiled its 2026 Color of the Year: Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201), a feather-light white described as “a whisper of calm and peace in a noisy world.” Framed as a blank canvas and a collective craving for a fresh start, it’s also a gentle reminder that subtlety never goes out of style. Naturally, we’re inspired - so whether you’re planning a design-forward stay or simply curious why this subtle shade is the toast of 2026, here’s our round-up of homes that wear Cloud Dancer well.
 

 

Spring Street Pearl, New York City

If a cloud had impeccable taste, it would look like Spring Street Pearl. Fashion designer Bonnie Young, inspired by the seashells she collected on her travels, created an ethereal, crushed mother-of-pearl floor. With hand-picked furniture and pops of curated art, the space is both serene and stylish - a city home that feels lit from within.

 

Cielo, Turks and Caicos

Cloud Dancer, but make it poolside. This Turks and Caicos retreat makes the most of an all-white palette, letting you lounge in crisp calm while the soft sand (white sand, naturally) stretches out beyond your toes. Sleeping eight across four bedrooms, it’s the ideal 2026 escape for anyone craving a fresh start with an extra splash of style.
 

 

 

Avenue Niel, Paris

Bold, bright, and utterly Parisian - Avenue Niel proves that white doesn’t have to be minimal (or boring.) Warmth, charm, and effortless style meet in this city oasis, where calm reigns but character is never in short supply.

Poplar Grove, London

This fresh, white kitchen is practically begging you to get creative - the ultimate blank canvas. Sleek, clean, and surprisingly serene for London, Poplar Grove is a true “whisper of calm” in the midst of the city’s hum.

 

 

 

Blackstone Lodge, Steamboat

Cloud Dancer may be 2026’s colour of the year, but the Rockys have been perfecting it for centuries - a fresh white blanket of snow as far as the eye can see. Settle into the cosy interiors and let the Champagne Powder® take care of the spectacle.
