Yellow Home Decor

Hello Yellow! 

I’m a huge fan of yellow tones; I love everything from a pale buttery yellow to a deep goldenrod. You’re probably thinking of flowers, lemons, warmth and that cheerful paint color you recently saw. 

Did you know that a yellow ochre pigment was one of the first colors used in prehistoric cave art?

Blue & Yellow Decor

I am currently working on a bedroom with different shades of blue from a pale greyish blue to medium toned blue to a deeper midnight blue. I need a pop of color so was looking through magazines and books for inspiration. I saw some photos of blue with yellow accents and LOVE the look! What a perfect combination.

If you're a fan of pale tones, pair your pale blue with a soft pale yellow. This creates a really pretty, delicate look.

Maybe you're more of a bold person. My favorite is a medium toned blue with accents of a golden yellow. Of course, with yellow and blue being complimentary colors, they're going to pop, but leaning to a bit gold really makes a statement.

All about the deep dark blue? Try for a deeper goldenrod tone. This will look very rich, traditional and elegant.

Now for my project, since I'm working with so many shades of blue, I am only going to use one tone of yellow; a medium bright yellow which will not only contrast well with the medium blue but also the pale and the deep blue.

I'll keep you posted on the outcome. 

Happy Friday!
