Decorating With Yellow

Paired great with the other gray and reds that we discussed yellow is a daring, warming, and surprising color popularly being used in home décor. Soft and subdued shades of this color are often used in kitchens, creating an inviting space to start off your morning. Yellow is a sunny, inviting color and it evokes the emotion of happiness. It is a great accent and focal color to use in spaces where people congregate and enjoy fellowship with each other. Yellow is versatile and can be muted to coordinate with neutral tones or spiced up to pair with reds, blues, and oranges. When used on the walls of a room, designers suggest that lighter color furniture be used as to not overwhelm the space. Smaller yellow accents go nicely with grays, blacks, and whites.
