Cloud Dancer to bring calm to the bathroom in 2026

Glace White Kit Kat Tiles from Porcelain Superstore bring texture to calming bathroom schemes

Porcelain Superstore on how this year’s Pantone Colour of the Year will bring serenity to bathrooms and ensuites

Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2026 is set to make a quiet but powerful impact in the home.

And according to the experts at independent tile specialists Porcelain Superstore, nowhere will the calming influence of Cloud Dancer be felt more than in the bathroom.

As homeowners increasingly look to create spa-like spaces that support rest and wellbeing, this soft, airy off-white offers the perfect foundation.

Unlike stark whites or cold greys, Cloud Dancer sits in a warmer, gentler place.

It reflects light beautifully while still feeling cocooning, making it particularly well suited to bathrooms, where calmness and serenity are key.

Abbas Youssefi, Managing Director, Porcelain Superstore, said: “Bathrooms are no longer just functional spaces, they’ve become places to switch off and Cloud Dancer speaks directly into that mindset.

“It is soft, reassuring and timeless, which makes it ideal for bathrooms where you want to create a sense of calm without the space feeling bland or clinical.”

For those homeowners embarking on a bathroom renovation this new year, Abbas feels Cloud Dancer is a great inspiration when it comes to tile selection.

Not only will its creamy off-white hues help smaller bathrooms feel more open, but in larger spaces tiles in Cloud Dancer-esque shades will provide a serene backdrop that lets textures and finishes shine.

Abbas added: “Cloud Dancer is incredibly versatile. It works just as well with natural materials like wood and stone as it does with more contemporary finishes such as brushed brass or matt black brassware.

“It also complements a wealth of colours, from pastel shades through to bolder hues, for those homeowners who want to add contrast and interest through accessories.”

For those keen to embrace the trend fully, Abbas recommends layering similar tones rather than matching everything exactly. Soft beige or off-white wall tiles, lightly veined floor tiles and tonal grout can all help create a seamless, relaxing feel.

Porcelain Superstore offers a wide range of tiles in creamy off-white shades, including Heath White and Nomad Chalk.
