Add Lemon Yellow to Your Home’s Palette
Posted on February 26, 2020
Yellow is considered the friendliest and warmest color. It creates a sunny and bright aesthetic and makes our friends and family feel welcomed. It is also known to encourage conversation and interaction. So why wouldn’t you want this color in your home? Well, people tend to veer away from it because it can be bold and in your face. It is also difficult to match your décor with it. But if you’re like us and love the idea of incorporating this joyful color into your home than keep reading for ideas on how to best do it.
You should use it in spaces that aren’t meant to be relaxing.
Lemon yellow should be used in spaces like the kitchen and dining room and living room rather than bedrooms. When we see yellow, we think lively and energetic, so you want to use it in spaces where we typically are livelier and more energetic.
Pair it with White.
Yellow is an overwhelming color and makes quite the statement, so it looks best when paired with a blank canvas. Yellow walls with white trim and white furniture.
Pair it with Purple.
If you are looking for a fun and bold look than pair your yellow walls with purple accents. Even though they are both bright colors, they balance each other out.
Pair it with Gray.
Gray shades also work very well with yellow. Whether you prefer a lighter or darker shade of gray you can’t go wrong.
Pair it with Blue.
Yellow looks stunning when paired with navy accents. Think yellow walls, gray sofas, and navy-blue accents. It tones down the intensity of the yellow and the yellow actually makes the blue accents stand out.
Paint your doors or door frames yellow.
If you love the idea of incorporating yellow into your home but can’t commit to painting the entire room yellow than this is the perfect option for you. We love the fun pop of color this adds to any home.
Use it as an accent color.
Yellow is a great accent color. You still are getting the vibrant aesthetic and bringing those sunny vibes into your home.
