When it was announced by Pantone that 2026's Color of the Year is a creamy white called Cloud Dancer, it was as polarizing as it was intriguing. The ultimate neutral, white, is not typically associated with risky or bold design, but the dominant shade of the year is clearly proving the naysayers wrong.

Take Kristin Davis' kitchen for inspiration. The Sex and the City star recently shared a clip of her all-white kitchen on her TikTok page, and the crisp, modern feeling is irresistible, yet simple to replicate.

Design experts explain that decorating with a white like Cloud Dancer is a surefire way to make your kitchen calming, chic, and trend-forward.

'Cloud Dancer is not just white, it is a shade that makes a room feel effortlessly curated,' says Megan Slack, the Head of Celebrity Style at Homes & Gardens. 'It carries subtle warmth and just the right amount of depth, so it feels intentional rather than safe. It creates the perfect backdrop for interiors and personality alike.'

'Applied to walls, ceilings, or key surfaces, Cloud Dancer immediately lifts a space,' she continues. 'It brings light and airiness without ever feeling harsh, creating rooms that are welcoming yet impeccably styled. When used throughout a home, it unifies the design with ease, offering a sophisticated and calm foundation that complements both contemporary chic and classic elegance. It is understated luxury you can truly live in.'

The obvious design choice here is to paint your walls; however, if you're just looking to incorporate more white accessories, we love this elegant Lazy Susan from Wayfair for a kitchen table. Alternatively, if you're partial to marble, this Crate & Barrel utensil holder is sure to be a fixture on your countertop.

Kristin Davis’s all-white kitchen proves that with Cloud Dancer, even the simplest spaces can feel effortlessly luxe and unmistakably personal.
