Pantone Colour of the Year 2025: Cloud White - Soft, Serene, and Perfectly Obeetee

Have you ever wondered how the world would feel without colours? Imagine leaves without their reassuring green, oceans without their reflective blue, or eyes without the depth of an iris. Maybe we would call it “normal,” because humans adapt. But the truth is this  - life would lose its flavour. Colour is not decoration; colour is emotion. It is the tint of nostalgia, the shade of desire, the glow of comfort. Scientifically, it’s just light bouncing off surfaces, but emotionally, colours are the language of the universe. Blue makes us breathe easier. Red wakes up the part of us that wants to conquer. White reminds us to pause.

So if you’re wondering why we’re going on and on about colours, here’s why: Pantone just announced their 2025 Colour of the Year  - Cloud White. A soft, structural, almost weightless neutral, Cloud White is everything the world needs right now: calm, adaptable, harmonious. It’s the universal pause button. The hue that holds space for every other colour to shine, while still standing tall in its own confidence.

And as a brand that lives and breathes home, design, craftsmanship, and luxury, we couldn’t be more excited. Because Cloud White isn’t just a shade  - it’s a mood. It’s a lifestyle. It’s the backbone of the kind of homes people are craving in 2025: uncluttered, mindful, and softly expressive.

So naturally, we picked out a few pieces  - rugs, cushions, throws, and furniture  - that pair beautifully with this calm, neutral palette. Think of this as your Cloud White mood board. A curation of textures, tones, and silhouettes that honour Pantone’s 2025 direction, while bringing that understated sophistication right into your living space.

1. Terra Triple Seater (Wooden Piers)

If Cloud White had a personality, it would be this sofa  - grounded, understated, and timeless. The Terra Triple Seater, crafted in pure Indian teak wood, doesn’t scream for attention; it simply anchors the room with quiet elegance. Its walnut finish and beige upholstery echo the softness of Cloud White, creating a visual balance that feels effortless but intentional.

The marble or wood supports under the arms add a sculptural element, enhancing that minimal-maximal aesthetic Cloud White naturally pairs with. In homes inspired by this neutral palette, furniture becomes form  - clean, structural, and emotionally calming.

Why it works with Cloud White:

Because Cloud White thrives when surrounded by natural materials. Teak, marble, and beige tonality echo warmth without overpowering the palette. And yes  - a carpet absolutely binds the entire setting together, letting Cloud White act as the visual breath between textures.

2. Quilted Cushion Cover with Kantha Stitch Patchwork by Abraham & Thakore

Cushions are often the little details that bring a room to life, especially in a Cloud White-inspired home where texture becomes the star. This quilted cushion cover, handcrafted by Abraham & Thakore, embodies that philosophy beautifully.

The cotton velvet quilting, layered with cotton voile strips, is held down by delicate hand running stitches. The beige and white velvet accents embrace the Cloud White palette with quiet sophistication. It’s minimal, yes  - but deeply tactile. Soft to the eye and softer to the touch.

Why it works with Cloud White:

Because Cloud White isn’t about starkness; it’s about softness. This cushion brings depth, dimension, and coziness without breaking the serenity of the palette. It blends effortlessly into every room while adding that handcrafted soulfulness that neutral spaces crave.

3. Cinema Hand-Knotted Woollen Rug

If Cloud White could exist as a rug, this would be its closest cousin. The Cinema rug is monochromatic yet far from simple. Its pristine natural hue and hand-knotted wool texture create a sense of visual quietude  - a perfect grounding element for modern homes.

With its futuristic depth and classic restraint, the Cinema rug turns your floor into a calm visual landscape. It enhances without overwhelming, echoes without distracting, and creates an airy spaciousness that parallels the very essence of Cloud White.

Why it works with Cloud White:

Because this rug expands space. It reflects light, softens edges, and reinforces the airy volume Cloud White brings into a room. Think of it as your interior’s deep breath.

4. Nutmeg Cotton Jacquard Throw

Winter or not, every home deserves a throw that feels like comfort made tangible. The Nutmeg Jacquard Throw introduces warmth into a Cloud White setting without disturbing its serenity. Crafted in pure cotton jacquard with traditional patterns and a frilled border, it adds a gentle visual rhythm to an otherwise calm palette.

The interplay of dark and light shades creates contrast the Cloud White mood board needs  - subtle, graceful, always stylish.

Why it works with Cloud White:

Because even the calmest palette needs moments of coziness. The Nutmeg Throw adds softness, warmth, and lived-in charm while staying loyal to the neutral colour story.

5. Riya Hand-Tufted Woollen Rug

The Riya rug brings geometry, symmetry, and abstraction together with a modern sensitivity. Crafted in Bhadohi using wool and cotton yarn, it’s a testament to both precision and artistry. Its grey base paired with white accents is the perfect visual companion to Cloud White  - elevated, architectural, and clean.

Just like Cloud White, the rug brings structure without rigidity. It grounds the room while leaving plenty of breathing space for lighter tones and airy aesthetics.

Why it works with Cloud White:

Because Cloud White thrives on contrast. The grey base enhances the crispness of white, making both shades feel more deliberate, more designed, more luxurious.

In Conclusion

Pantone’s Cloud White isn’t just a colour trend  - it is an interior philosophy. A reminder that calm is a luxury, simplicity is a statement, and neutral doesn’t mean boring. When paired with the right textiles, furniture, rugs, and accents, Cloud White becomes an immersive home experience.

And with pieces like these, your space doesn’t just follow a trend  - it becomes a sanctuary. A place where colour speaks softly, textures speak loudly, and everything feels like a breath of fresh air.
