Get Inspired by Pantone’s 2026 Colour of the Year: Cloud Dancer
Pantone has unveiled Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 114201) as the Colour of the Year for 2026, a soft, airy white that embodies calm, clarity, and understated sophistication.
Perfect for interiors, Cloud Dancer encourages relaxation, focus, and a sense of visual serenity. As a versatile neutral, it works as a structural base that allows other colours to shine, making it ideal for both minimalist and more layered design schemes.
To help you bring Cloud Dancer, into your designs, Pantone created seven colour palettes featuring this year’s special shade. Each of the palettes conveys a distinctive feeling and mood.
What Cloud Dancer Brings to Interiors
Light and Space: Cloud Dancer reflects and amplifies natural light, making rooms feel brighter and more open. It’s particularly effective in bedrooms, apartments, and compact homes where every inch of light matters.
A Versatile Base: This neutral white pairs effortlessly with natural textures, soft woods, muted pastels, or bold accent colours. Its flexibility allows you to explore a variety of design directions without overwhelming the space.
Fresh & Clean Aesthetic: Cloud Dancer PANTONE 114201 gives interiors a crisp, modern look. It’s perfect for minimalist, Scandinavian, or contemporary schemes where clarity and calm are key. Whether applied to sliding wardrobes, hinged doors, or furniture, it provides a refined foundation that complements any design vision.
At IDS, we’re ready to help you bring Pantone 11-4201 into your interiors. Working with leading decorative board suppliers like Egger and Kronospan, we offer bespoke sliding and hinged wardrobe doors in Cloud Dancer-inspired shades, along with a wide selection of finishes and complementary colour palettes to elevate your design.
This ensures you can recreate its soft neutrality or build a layered palette around it with precision and flexibility.

Design Opportunities & Applications
Using a Cloud Dancer‑style palette doesn’t mean plain. On the contrary, it can bring a modern, structured sophistication:
- Sliding Wardrobe Systems — Ranges like Kensington, Soho or Raumplus benefit from white finishes paired with textured boards or subtle accent panels for clean, expansive storage.
- Hinged Door Styles — Traditional shaker or contemporary slab doors in white or light neutrals offer timeless appeal and flexibility.
- Freestanding Furniture & Storage Suites — Coordinated furniture (chests, drawers, wardrobes) in matching white or neutral palettes give a cohesive, restful feel to bedrooms, guest rooms or homes.
- Home Offices / Multi‑Use Spaces — White or neutral wardrobes and storage can help small spaces feel larger, brighter, and more calm, ideal when clients are balancing work, rest, and storage in a single room.
Mixing materials, up to five on a single panel, allows creative layering: white fronts, pastel or neutral accents, textured panels, glass or mirror inserts, for bespoke combinations tailored to each project.
