India, Dec. 7 -- The allure of bright, neutral home interiors has long captivated A-list celebrities, and for 2026, the trend is reaching new, sophisticated heights. Pantone has crowned 'Cloud Dancer' as the Colour of the Year. The institute describes the hue as "a billowy, balanced white imbued with a feeling of serenity." For instance, businesswoman Kim Kardashian defines her space with extreme minimalism, curved forms, and a neutral palette. Similarly, actor Ankita Lokhande has embraced an all-white theme so completely that her residence is nicknamed "The White House." Meanwhile, actor Alaya F strikes a balance, using a bright, white, and neutral base that blends modern minimalism with cosy boho elements, creating a versatile and calm look. So, to help you achieve a magazine-worthy interior with this soft white, experts suggest focusing on form, texture, and layering: Sculptural accent furniture: Obtain sculptural furniture as your focal point that uses Cloud Dancer colour, such as a console table or side table using textures with curves and glossy finishes. Plush upholstery and lounge Seating: Cloud Dancer excels in fabric. Think large pillow-style seating; plush armchairs or upholstered stool(s), upholstered to replicate that feeling of comfort (to cuddly) that you would experience when snuggled up with a cloud! This creates an oasis amidst our chaotic lifestyles. Layered neutral accessories: To build depth, use a palette of whites and creams in soft furnishings. You can achieve plenty of depth, richness and luxury in-layered neutrals with the palette of whites and creams in cushions, throws, rugs, ceramics and so forth. A final grounding with natural wood tones or an added choice of metal, either gold, champagne, or brass finishes. Vases and bowls: Use beautiful, decorative, ceramic vases and bowls (made of Cloud Dancer shade) in combination with other muted colours that work well together as a soft, refined art piece. Lighting: Look for table lamps or candle holders made from soft materials (such as stone, ceramic or polished metal) to highlight the colour's elegant simplicity.
