If your home is feeling a bit drab and you want to inject an instant pop of colour, this new interiors trend will be right up your alley. While it might not seem to appeal to everyone’s tastes, yellow is making a big splash in the decor world. And, if you style it correctly and keep things subtle, it can be a wonderful way to bring joy and warmth into your home. Yellow is the colour of sunshine and happiness, known for its ability to lift the spirits and encourage a sense of optimism.

How to incorporate yellow in your home

Pair with grey

A small touch of yellow goes a long way against a background of white and soft grey velvet. This is a safe way to start experimenting with yellow, and it’s easy to swap a lampshade and cushions for another colour to change the look of the room on a minimal budget. It’s also the Pantone Colour of the Year pairing, so you know it’s on trend and in demand.

Don’t forget the garden

Garden furniture isn’t often very colourful despite the fact that it’s only really used in sunny weather. Opt for yellow chairs or a bench (or, even a planter basket, as you’ll see lower down in our roundup) that will tempt you to eat outside at every opportunity.

Make temporary tweaks

If you’re unsure, there’s no need to make a permanent commitment to yellow. Adding cushion covers or a touch of yellow in a string of bunting is a great way to use a fresh colour in your interior design.
