All things bright and yellow

Recently I have noticed that yellow is becoming a popular colour in home furnishings and fashion. So following on from this week’s inspiration board, I thought I’d share some of my favourite interiors that include pops of yellow and some of my favourite yellow accessories.

I think its fun and fresh, and oh so, cheery, don’t you? Of course these rooms above are quite bold and patterned rooms. Yellow can also be subdued and sophisticated.

See how these pictures show yellow in a more mature colour palette? Grey and yellow make a lovely combination, as does yellow and navy too. Around the shops, I’ve notice a few cute accessories to bring a touch of cheer to your home.

I’m not about to advise the use of all these products in one room, goodness, no! (However, my 3 year old who dearly loves yellow might be an advocate for it!) Too much yellow and it’s all a bit eternally optimistic for me, but placing one item strategically here or there could really cheer a room up. Imagine that table lamp on a console table behind a muted grey sofa or the cushions casually thrown onto a sofa, complimenting a modern black and white living room? But it doesn’t have to be limited to these accessories. I’m particularly loving the yellow door!

So, can you see a pop of yellow working its way into your home? Would you use any of the products?

    • Thanks Anna, Great to see you’ve stopped by! yellow does just brighten a room doesn’t it? I’m thinking of swapping my antique gold out for a nice, zesty yellow for summer!
