Hello, yellow, so glad you could make an appearance.

Yellow can be stunning, cheerful, mellow, and serene.  With so many options, there is definitely a shade of yellow to perfectly complement your life.  The color evokes an instant warming sensation no matter the tint or shade.  Conjuring up thoughts of warm summer days, blooming daffodils, and tasty lemonade, who would not want a piece of summer year round?  You can use yellow as a bold statement in a bright color selection or use yellow as a tranquil color selection.  Either way, yellow can be a magnificent accent to your home.

Yellow fabric is an easy way to update any space.  I always say select neutral furnishings that will never go out of style.  Accents can easily be changed as your own tastes change over time.  The inspiration room above would look fabulous with any accent color, but the fun use of yellow patterned drapery and accent pillows makes this space modern and hip.

For the more traditional of you, this room elegantly incorporates yellow without seeming garish.  An interesting choice for a traditional mirror, yellow adds an unexpected life to this living room.  This space has a calming effect with the use of tans and creams that seem to beckon you to the space.

Blue and yellow tend to have either a country or beach undertone when mixed together, but the use of a warm yellow with a slate-blue give unique character to this bedroom. Modern over-scale stripes on the wall complement the more traditional tufted sofa and four poster bed.  This room would be great to recreate by mixing your family heirloom furniture with more present day colors and accessories.

Pow, this home has a personality.  The use of bright yellow accent walls and drapery magnify the natural light pouring into the space.  This placement is a good design trick if you lack natural lighting in your own home.  Bright, almost neon colors will never leave your home feeling dim.
