That time of the year is here! Pantone has announced its color of the year for 2026: Cloud Dancer. Airy, light, and incredibly versatile, this classic white brings in a sense of serenity. In our bustling world, it is a nod to peace, mindfulness, and simplicity. Cloud Dancer’s soft and timeless hue can be styled in so many ways - but here are some of our top tips at Eastern Accents to help you embrace this trendy color for the new year ahead.
Fresh Start
The new year is all about welcoming new opportunities and looking ahead. Nothing says fresh starts like a clean, simple color palette. Use this airy white hue as an anchor for your space, building small decorative details around it. To keep things feeling fresh, avoid over cluttering– when paired with a neutral base, a few details and statements can go a long way.
Bright and Sparkling
While the holidays may be over, winter is still in full force. Cloud Dancer’s snowy white is perfect for pairing with icy blues and cool tones. Experiment with classic metallics, like silver, gold, or bronze, to bring in dazzling statement pieces. For a little inspiration, browse through some of our favorite glistening collections like Central Park. Cool blues and lustrous neutrals are the perfect pairings for a fresh white. Subtle and elegant, this look works not only for winter, but all year round.

Pastel Pop
Ready for warmth? Pair breezy Cloud Dancer with light and bright pastels that celebrate the warm days ahead. Subtle springy patterns like botanicals or spots pair perfectly with a soft white. Bringing in a bit of color is a simple and effective way to brighten your space’s atmosphere. Cloud Dancer’s airy nature melds perfectly with pastel touches like accent walls, patterned pillows, artwork, or draperies.
Channel blooming brightness with collections like Magnolia. Sweet and airy, this collection’s floral motifs across the duvet and shams, and elegant colors throughout bring in a little whimsy.

Restful Retreat
Find serenity in your space by spotlighting calming neutrals. Making for an ideal canvas, pair Cloud Dancer with some earth-toned ease. Brown, grey, taupe, or naturally grounded tones help to create an at-home sanctuary. With a new year ahead, make mindfulness a priority. This natural color palette looks both effortlessly refined and completely comfortable.
Explore earth-toned elegance like Evelina. A calm yet colorful palette brings in a breath of fresh air. Or try something a little more neutral like Kelso. Tailored yet simple, these sandy tones are an ideal complement for a peaceful white.
Layers
Soft neutrals and refreshing bedscapes also set the perfect canvas for layering. Cloud Dancer’s versatile nature means it pairs well with whatever layers you choose, no matter the season. Bring in a rich neutral throw like Dolce, or mix and match with some of our favorite coverlets, like Viola or Coperta. Ideal for layering, these staples add soft tones and warmth– plus they can be easily taken on and off the bed depending on climate.
