The experience I have had with yellow is that it always turns out more yellow and more intense than you expect, so I usually suggest to clients that they move down the scale and they will still get that pop of colour. It can be the hardest colour to work with but choose the right shade and pair it with other colours for a different look. For instance with wood tones yellow can be warm and rich. With black and white it turns sophisticated and glamorous, while pairing it with blue gives a sweet, country feel.
So I've decided my new favourite colour is YELLOW! I can't believe it , as it's always been my least favourite really. I think I've been brainwashed by all the images the last year of yellow with black, white and grey. My friend and fellow decorator Lisa and I are obsessed with it, always showing each other new ideas and amazing photos in magazines showing yellow. By the way Lisa is an awesome artist and jewelery maker too, check out her website!

If doing a whole room in yellow is too scary then just add hints of it, maybe with your accessories or try changing the colour on a piece of furniture. Even bedding or towels can just give you that "zing" that you need to liven up your space. I am going to get out my trusty spray paint and change up some of my existing pieces. it's not the first time and it wont be the last! My current mission is to find some old detailed frames in different shapes and spray them. Old is new again!
