Controversial? Maybe. Boring? Never. Pantone’s Colour of the Year — Cloud Dancer — is the ultimate neutral canvas, offering a fresh, airy backdrop for any space.

At RJ Living, we love to style it in ways that feel anything but predictable. From bold pops of colour to layered patterns and tactile textures, our team shows how this serene shade can come alive, exclusively through pieces from our RJ Living range.

Rather than fading into the background, Cloud Dancer sets the stage for expression. It allows statement pieces to shine — like the Sidney Sofa, where confident colour and subtle patterning instantly become the hero of the room. Against a soft, neutral base, its personality feels intentional, elevated, and effortlessly balanced.

Vibrant upholstery, sculptural silhouettes and playful details across our range gain clarity and confidence when grounded by a calm base.

This approach extends beyond seating. Layered cushions, textured upholstery, sculptural forms and considered finishes all gain clarity when grounded by a calm foundation. Cloud Dancer doesn’t compete — it enhances.

"Melt Sofa in Fossil Fawn against Cloud Dancer, as it allows the vibrancy of the warm fabric to pop without being too overwhelming. I like the melt because of the name - anyone who sits on it literally melts into it because of its wide seat depth. It's the ultimate sofa for relaxation after a long day."

"Mellow Armchair in Eden Brick - it has cloud dancing level comfort."

-Dani | Visual Merchandising & Styling Assistant

"With a neutral base like Cloud Dancer I'd be looking to inject warmth and texture. So a timber piece like the Weave Bed would be perfect, especially with its rope details."

-Sarah | Graphic Designer

Whether you’re refreshing a living area, bedroom, or workspace, Cloud Dancer provides the perfect starting point to experiment, mix, and make your space truly your own.

"Cloud Dancer is such a beautiful, soft neutral, but I love pairing it with something that adds a bit more depth and warmth. The Ritual Bed Base in Fossil Chocolate does exactly that. The earthy tone grounds the space and stops the palette from feeling too light or flat, while still keeping everything calm and considered."

"My highlight product would be the Restore in Eden Brick , this is such an iconic RJ Living piece that encapsulates modern living, but also pays homage to iconic eras in interiors and design. My personal favourite thing about the Restore in Eden Brick is the tubular frame - she's iconic!"

-Tess | Buying Coordinator


'Muse Sideboard in Olive. It's such a versatile tone of green, letting it compliment both cooler and warmer tones with ease. The curved body and rounded leg are small details that will be appreciated for many years."

-Nathan | Marketing Manager


"The ridge bar cabinet adds a bit of funk to any space needing to be elevated, bringing in a bit of fun with the 3D dimension featured at the front."
