Designer’s Corner
Pantone’s 2026 Color of the Year — Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201) — marks the first time the program has named a shade of white. In a design world fueled by bold statements and fast-moving trends, designers largely agree it’s long overdue.
Designing a spec house comes with its own set of rules. The goal isn’t self-expression or trend-chasing—it’s creating a home that feels considered, livable, and broadly appealing without slipping into generic.
If you want a fast, honest look at how your relationship functions under pressure, try moving or remodeling your home. Small decisions—what stays, what goes, where everything lives—have a funny way of colliding with bigger conversations about money, timing, and patience.
Designer Corner isn’t about any one topic. It’s about compelling people — thoughtful, funny, candid, and refreshingly themselves.
Stone has a way of making even the simplest gift feel intentional. Designers love it for a reason: it’s hardworking, naturally elegant, and impossible to duplicate.
