If you haven't heard, white is set to be the shade of 2026, as per Pantone's announcement of Cloud Dreamer as their Color of the Year. As such, we are keeping an eye out for interior inspiration, and we found some courtesy of The Beast in Me star Brittany Snow's kitchen.
The actor's space is tranquil and sophisticated, with white-painted walls, a white marble table, and a white, tiled backsplash, all of which provide texture and visual intrigue.
Anything but boring, white can be layered and collaged in a kitchen for optimal impact, and designers say it will be everywhere next year.

According to designers, white is ideal for spaces like kitchens due to its versatility and luxe sensibilities.
'Pantone's Colour of the Year 2026, Cloud Dancer, is less about making a statement and more about providing a refined, foundational space for everything else to excel,' explains style consultant Steven Dempsey.
'Its soft, ethereal quality, a gentle white with the subtlest hint of warmth, prevents it from feeling stark or cold, aligning it perfectly with the "quiet sophistication" aesthetic.'
He continues, 'Crucially, when used on walls, windows and architectural elements like cornices or window dressings, it provides a sense of endless space and light, creating that coveted, elegant, uncomplicated sanctuary.'
If you already have a foundation of white walls, try incorporating textured accessories, like this marble tray from Wayfair, or this sculptural, ceramic bowl from Amazon. As long as your accessories are varied in shade, shape, and finish, your white kitchen will be as visually appealing as a colorful one.
