What could be more inviting than a bright pop of yellow in your space? The colour of eternal summer, yellow evokes images of flowers, lemons, and sunshine. A warm and versatile colour, yellow comes endowed with enough personality to warm up any room in your home, especially the kitchen. Consider a sweep of sunny yellow in your light-filled breakfast nook to kick off your mornings in comfort. Beat the blues after a tiring day at work by opting for pretty accents of buttercup yellow in your family room, or brighten up your living room with block colour in lemon or dandelion shades.

Browse our best ideas for decorating with yellow, and discover ways to give your space an infusion of sunny charm this season.

1.On the Walls 

Want to go all out with yellow? Paint a large accent wall in bright primary yellow and pair it with an interesting vinyl decal in the same tone to be the focal point of your room. Aren’t too keen to paint your walls? You can bring the warmth onto your walls with patterned wallpapers that look just as good in gentle shades of yellow as they do in a block colour. For a subtle take on yellow, choose wallpapers in calming shades of yellow and team it with soft neutrals. For example, a striped lemon sherbet yellow and pale blue wallpaper can create a cosy vibe. Brighten up the walls of your kitchen with large floral-printed wallpaper, and opt for a smaller, more detailed print for the inside of your kitchen cabinets. Looking to bring the outdoors inside with a nature-inspired space? Then opt for wall paint or wallpaper in sunny yellow, and incorporate hints of sky blue and grass green through furnishings and accessories. To add a crisp edge to this natural look, add doses of white, in trim work and ceramic accents. A yellow-on-yellow lattice Wallpapers paired with a bright blue desk can make your office space unforgettable.

2. In the Furniture and Accessories

Tie the corners of your room together with furniture in yellow accents to make all your little knickknacks blend into the background. Add visual appeal to a blank wall in your living room with a trio of bookcases spray-painted a striking yellow. Love to gaze out at the sky from the comfort of your balcony? Then make the warmth pop out in this space by opting for lawn chairs in a vibrant orange-and-yellow print. Perk up your mornings by having the first meal of the day with family on a dining table and chairs painted a cheery dandelion yellow. For that extra zing in your bedroom, try repainting that drab old chest of drawers and headboard, or even the frame of your full length dressing mirror. Consider adding a youthful and energetic kick to your kitchen with glossy colour block kitchen units in saffron. Looking for something a little less overpowering? Then try lower cabinets in pale yellow and pair them with upper cabinets in a blonde oak and backsplash tiles for a visual transition.

3. In the Furnishings

You can welcome the comforting warmth of yellow into your space through upholstery too. The classic yellow-blue pairing works great for every décor. To add a punch of colour to your living room, pair a bold yellow striped sofa with pillows and drapes in navy blue stripes. Or go for furnishings in shades of teal and a bright, acidic yellow to add sharp contrast and definition to your décor. For a subtle take, opt for a bed with neutral beige linen and pair it with pillows in vibrant yellow and turquoise blue. If you want the ultimate in luxurious sophistication, then try furnishings in tones of yellow and grey. Think a yellow velvet sofa placed against a window with large-scale damask curtains in dove grey. Complete the look by adding a few fresh and cheerful elements such as a green plant or a quirky coffee table. You can even make yellow read more like a neutral. Opt for yellow curtains with brown undertones, and pair it with sisal floor covering and furniture upholstered in natural linens. Another great idea for creating a calming space is to opt for subtle shades of yellow throughout your space. For example, to create a tone-on-tone background on which accessories can shine, consider warm butter-coloured upholstery, drapes and rugs.
