Every December Pantone company announces the color of the next year which effects interior design also. Cloud Dancer no. 11-4201 is the color of the year 2026.
This is a shade of pure white, not actually a color, but rather allows all other colors to prevail. It symbolizes a new beginning, airiness and hope.
Feel free to use it in any room. However, keep in mind that if white dominates an interior, mix different textures during the furnishing process, so the space will gain depth and not resemble a hospital ward. Even in the currently fashionable, all-white homes, other colors are needed as a counterbalance, so our eyes can focus on every detail. For example, natural wood (floors, stair railings, wall panels) helps maintain a sense of purity and simplicity, dark colors make the space more modern through contrast, and pastel colors bring softness and femininity to the look.
Ask for help of an interior designer for making the color of the year 2026 appear in your home in style.

Off-white
Off-white is a shade of white with a few yellow undertone. It used alongside pure white can appear dirty – so, avoid this combination. It is used in interior design if pure white might look too rigid or intense. Off-white is a good complementary color for both strong colors and neutral palette and looks like white. For example, when painting door and window frames, wall panels, mouldings, it is worth trying next to the selected wall color.

Modern farmhouse style
The so-called modern farmhouse style, which is so popular abroad since years, appeared also in Hungary. It is not always obvious, what is the difference between this and the traditional farmhouse style.
The main features of the original, classic variation are neutral color palette, vintage accessories, mix and match furniture fitting for country style, which are mainly antique or old, natural woods and rustic mood. On the other hand, the modern variation mixes the elements above with sleek/simple lines, industrial like accessories, uses much more white and tries to reach a clearer look. It’s far less rustic. Woods are not necessarily old, only natural in color. In both cases, spaces are wide and open, the ceiling is high. Beams are remaining visible. The used metal accessories are frequently black but galvanized metal and stainless steel appears also. Furniture are newly made, conjuring up the style and shape of the old ones but in a much simpler way. The total effect is tidy, airy and light. Practicality plays a leading role.
Classic farm style uses more colors, although these are moderated, but they can be mixed bravely. The modern style, on the contrary, harmonizes neutral colors and rarely uses real colors. If it does, they are much stronger (e.g. mustard yellow, ink blue, grass green) and acting as focal points. Shades of white and gray are dominant, which is now fashionable, so the interior looks more modern because of them.
