Decorating with yellow
Well, say hello to scene-stealing yellow! It's the ideal pick-me-up for any room. Here's five great ways to infuse your home with this happy colour in any one of its many shades, tones and tints. We'd love to know where and how you'd use it.
Bring a crisp and classic nautical white and blue scheme alive with a punch of primary yellow. Your go-to accessories are pillows, lamps and flowers. And check out the splash the yellow of the bedside table’s handle pull makes. That’s what you call subtle impact.
Choose a yellow-on-white wallpaper for a wow, look-at-me entrance. Paper just the one wall and for the remaining walls choose a paint the same white as that of the wallpaper background. Tip: Colour your front door to match.
Paint the frame of an open bookcase.
Get your happy on by mixing sophisticated grey and navy with cheerful yellows. You don’t need much – a central ottoman, accent cushions and a tray did the trick here.
Colouring your walls a soft buttery hue keeps rooms restful especially if you team it with relaxed vintage and rustic accents – note the feed sack cushions and weathered table. Add vibrancy with a splash of juicy orange.
