Decorating with Yellow
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010I was slicing lemons and trimming the ends of daffodils yesterday, then I was struck by a mad passion for yellow. Hmm. Strange. I just painted over all the yellow in my kitchen, and today I am fixated. Fickle am I. It must be my serious case of spring fever.
Anyway, I got to thinking. Yellow is one of those colors that’s a little trickier to design with, but when used just right, yellow is incredibly stylish and oh so chic. Yellow is vibrant and cheerful; the color of sunshine and happiness! I think it is especially beautiful when paired with deep gray, soft green, turquoise, or white.
Here’s a few examples of yellow done just right.
