Mellow Yellow; My New Favorite Color

Recently I have been crushing on a really unexpected color for me; YELLOW.

The color yellow hasn’t always been a favorite of mine. I mean, I had nothing against it, but I had not really used it in home décor as much as I could.

Recently I used it as an accent in the dining room makeover at my design studio, and I am now loving it!

So I decided to start my own mellow yellow trend……..

……….And incase you are not a lover of yellow, I put together a Polyvore Board with some yellow home décor accents to inspire you. Take a look

Mellow Yellow

Of Course I recommend using it in moderation in a room, because too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.

Yellow creates a happy and cheerful mood in a room. It captures the joy of a wonderful day outdoors basking in the sunshine and fresh air. It is also a very energizing color that can uplift your mood. It is perfect in areas like the kitchen, dining room, and bathrooms.

Although yellow is a cheerful color, it needs to be used in moderation in entire room color schemes. Studies have shown that people are more likely to lose their temper in a yellow interior, babies seem to cry more, and too much of it concentrated in one area can create feelings of frustration.

In chromotherapy, yellow is believed to stimulate the nerves and purify the body.

The key to successfully pulling off yellow is finding the right hue that will suit your taste and carefully incorporating it into your home. Color is a very personal matter, so choose wisely.

Are you a fan of the color yellow?

  1. I have never been a big fan of the color yellow in decor, but these look fabulous! I definitely agree that it needs to be used in moderation and when it is it gives the room a lot more life. :-)

  2. Yellow is a HAPPY color! I’ve been trying to venture out and try new colors as well, and our new one is green! There are soo many shades, and the kids love that I’m incorporating it into our bathroom now… LOVE The photos, the living room I would take in a heart beat!

  3. Yellow….it’s up there with orange and red on my list of colors that make me want to gouge out my eyes. Some of these pairings aren’t bad to be honest…but yellow is just so…yellow.

  4. Yellow with light grey has been on my radar for a while. And yet, I don’t have anything with those colors!

  5. Gorgeous!! Your site is the place to be to see beautiful interior design. I love the idea of using bright yellows colors as accents but the pale yellow for the wall color is so appealing.

  6. I’ve never been a big fan of yellow myself but you have done a great job showing how it can be used well as an accent color if you don’t want it to be the main color. I think it’s perfect if you want a bright kitchen too. Red is similar … we had a red kitchen once and loved it. It was like a deeper red, not super bright but still bold. :)

  7. I have never been a fan on yellow myself, but your first picture of the room looks gorgeous. The yellow looks like it has really created a warm feeling and it really makes the room look larger:) Great job!

  8. I have never been a big fan of yellow as far as fashion and on myself but I absolutely love it when it comes to decorating. Funny thing is that I don’t use it in my own home but I love it when I see pictures of it on the net.

  9. I really love yellow and gray but I’m so nervous that if I decorate a room in those colors, I will be bored of them too quickly. Maybe a smaller room would be best so I could change it if I am tired of the color combo

  10. I feel like yellow was trendy a while back and then faded a little. But not much! Yellow + Grey became the new thing! I like it, but not for my house.

  11. Really digging this color. Didn’t even think it was possible to decorate so beautifully using this color but from all the pictures I can see that is possible and looks great! Love it!
