White is not just a color
It is also a philosophy of space
Die Integration von Natur und Technologie
The 2025 Autumn/Winter London Fashion Week has come to an end, and among the five classic colors, a color scheme called "Wispy Clouds Cloud White" stands out and quickly becomes the focus of the design industry.
This hazy color tone between pure white and light gray retains the pure genes of white while incorporating the flowing and poetic nature of clouds and mist. As the dazzling light on the runway gradually fades away, this "cloud white" quietly drifts into our living space, sparking a design revolution about purity, nature, and sophistication.
Pure White New Chapter:
From the runway to the space
Die Integration von Natur und Technologie
The debut of "Wispy Clouds" at London Fashion Week is by no means accidental. Under the wave of minimalist return, this subtle gray white quickly captured the hearts of many top designers. It is different from the dazzling pure white and the cold industrial white, but presents the softness and fluidity of natural clouds and mist.
Fashion designers showcase the multi-layered texture of "cloud white" through lightweight chiffon, matte silk, and handmade pleated fabrics. When models walk in long dresses with cloud white tones, the entire runway seems to be enveloped by a soft layer of morning mist, exuding an ethereal and elegant atmosphere.
In just a few months after the end of Fashion Week, this color trend quickly penetrated into the field of home design. Top international design agencies have launched a series of works with "cloud white" as the main theme, reflecting the inclusiveness and expressiveness of this color from furniture to wall treatment.
The ethereal realm:
Interpretation in Interior Design
Die Integration von Natur und Technologie
In interior design, 'Yunwu Bai' exhibits astonishing flexibility. The Cloud Art Museum in Qingzhen, Guiyang, China can be regarded as a model for the use of this color tone. The designer takes "strolling in the clouds" as the concept, and the entire space is covered in pure white. The hyperbolic column top softens the spatial feeling. Looking around, it is the ultimate beauty of tranquility. By using light and thin oil painting paper and modern craftsmanship, a feeling of "mountain clouds and mist" swimming in space is created.
The charm of 'Yunwu White' lies in its expressive power that transcends a single color. The flowing and unconstrained white, with the flow of architectural form, constantly extends and stacks, presenting rich spatial layers and beauty.
This white toned space is not exclusive to any particular style, whether it is Nordic style, Japanese style unprinted style, or Korean style minimalist white, wonderful examples of white spaces can be seen. The essence of its design lies in the minimalist aesthetic of removing the dross and retaining the essence, as well as the bright light sensation of abundant natural lighting.
Creating an Ideal Space:
Philosophy of Color Matching
Die Integration von Natur und Technologie
Pure white spaces tend to appear cold and monotonous, while the advantage of "cloud white" lies in its natural inclusiveness and compatibility. Mastering the following key techniques can make this tone shine with astonishing charm:
The Art of Balancing Cold and Warm
In white spaces, a small amount of wood elements or grayscale can be added to adjust the living temperature. Wood colored furniture and light gray flooring can create a harmonious dialogue with misty white. In spaces with insufficient natural light, choosing cloud white paint with a warm gray or cream base tone can avoid the space appearing cold.
Jumping color embellishment
The white space needs a finishing touch. The designer suggests using colored pillows, single chairs, or small decorations for decoration within a range of no more than 20% of the overall space. Colors with low saturation and high brightness, such as baby blue and dry rose pink, are a perfect match for cloud white, which can maintain purity and add a lively atmosphere.
The designer cleverly incorporated Morandi pink into the white and wooden space as the main tone, composing a gentle melody for the misty white space.
The Levels of Material Symphony
The "cloud white" space should avoid using a single material. It can integrate different materials such as matte walls, wooden furniture, and silk textiles to create rich visual layers. Linen, silk, velvet and other fabrics are not only dignified, but also have a delicate touch, especially suitable for sofas or curtains.
Gentle Morandi color scheme
Paired with low saturation Morandi colors such as gray pink, haze blue, and other soft tones, it can create a gentle and peaceful atmosphere. This combination is particularly suitable for spaces that require relaxation, such as bedrooms and study rooms.
Cloudy Life:
White Space
Die Integration von Natur und Technologie
In the case of a classical mansion with a white luxurious texture, the designer specially selected a beige floor and earth colored classical style furniture to add warmth to the space in order to avoid the space being too cold. This processing technique not only preserves the pure essence of white, but also injects the warmth of life.
Light and Shadow Magician
Light is a seasoning for white spaces. The living room can use cooler light sources to make white furniture purer and brighter, while the dining room and bedroom are suitable for choosing beige lighting to create a warm and soft atmosphere.
Curve rhythm
Introducing curved elements into white spaces can effectively soften the spatial experience. In a residential design, the designer wraps an arc around the white and wooden space, with a linear flow that allows natural light to penetrate the entire room. The curved shape of the ceiling and the hyperbolic column tops can alleviate the coldness that white spaces may bring.
Natural vitality
Introducing green plants is the best way to activate white spaces. Large plants can create a sharp contrast with modern white furniture, injecting natural vitality into the space. In the design of the Cloud Art Museum, the designer introduced the local fishermen's living scenes in an artistic way, and the wall fishing boat shape added a sense of life to the elegant space.
Nowadays, top design studios around the world have listed "Yunwu White" as the core color palette for the next three years. From Milan Furniture Fair to Shanghai Design Week, this color scheme has frequently appeared at various design exhibitions, becoming a signature language of high-end spaces.
White is no longer nothingness, but a container that accommodates all kinds of things - it carries the trajectory of light, the texture of objects, and the temperature of people. When the last ray of afterglow swept over the misty white walls, casting varying shades of light and shadow games, we suddenly understood that true luxury does not lie in the stacking of decorations, but in the courage to leave blank spaces.
