Color of the Year 2026: How to Incorporate Cloud Dancer into Your Interior

Since 1999, a color has been chosen each year to reflect the culture of the upcoming year. For 2026, the selected color is Cloud Dancer, described as a “billowy, balanced white.” Although choosing a shade of white is uncommon compared to previous selections, white itself is no stranger to home design, especially in minimalist and Scandinavian-inspired interiors.

For designers and homeowners who want to incorporate more shades of white into their interiors and channel the serenity and tranquility of Cloud Dancer beyond simply painting all the walls white, here are some tips:

Ceilings

White ceilings are a classic choice, helping expand a space by creating the illusion of height and openness. They offer a clean and timeless look while complementing a wide range of wall colors, décor, and furniture.

For those who want added texture and depth through grooves or wood grain while keeping the ceiling white, Decocity’s PVC Ceiling Panels in White Oak are an excellent option.

Walls

A home’s walls are another ideal area for introducing more white into a space. Consider wall panels like Decocity’s WPC Fluted, WPC Corrugated, WPC Half Round, or WPC Mini Curtain, all available in White Cream.

If you want to keep Cloud Dancer’s tone as accurate as possible, Lamerra’s MDF Flexible Panels are your best match. This paint-ready finishing material is ideal for walls and special applications, and comes in six profiles, giving you full freedom to choose the texture, shape, and color. 

Surfaces

Perhaps you’re already satisfied with the color of your ceilings and walls and prefer not to change them. That’s perfectly fine! You can still incorporate white through surfaces such as tabletops, cabinets, and drawers.

Lamerra’s High Pressure Laminate Sheets in Snow, Titanium White, and Glossy White are excellent choices. Snow and Titanium White offer a matte look, while Glossy White provides a sleek, reflective finish. MDF sheets painted white also work great for rounded counters and furniture.
