Yellow has always had an image problem with regards to its use in home décor. Unlike blue, red or green, it has not been universally loved and accepted. However, we feel that this cheerful and energetic colour does not deserve this treatment one bit!

You can give your home a chic makeover with this colour if you put your heart and mind to it. Yellow is a generous colour, in the sense that it brings out the best in other colours and makes rooms seem brighter and vibrant. It goes with almost every colour in the palette, be it white, pink, blue, brown, orange or green. This hue can make a breakfast nook or a home office look warm and welcoming. However, it is a wise idea to pick one shade lighter than what the paint chip suggests while going for it.

When we say Yellow, it doesn't have to be just solid walls. Use it as a pattern to add some dimension to your room so it does not overwhelm. You can use varying shades of this perky colour for some contrast and use it with neutral tones like white and beige for a blend of fun and elegance.

Yellow need not be the choice of paint for your home either. Opt for sunny yellow accessories to infuse your rooms with some freshness. Pick a yellow area rug or a curtain in this colour to spruce up the living space or balance a dull or pale wall shade of any room.

You can try a bold yellow sofa in the living room and pair it with complementing accent pillows or display a yellow ottoman instead. It is sure to make your visitors talk and work as a conversations starter with its bold presence.

As for your living rooms, team yellow with other pastels for a sunny disposition. Yellow headboards and window treatments also look stunning in bedrooms. Even a striking yellow bookcase or a citrus-hued artwork with splashes of yellow in it can add visual appeal to any room. A pretty vase of yellow flowers can also do the trick!

Yellow tiles spell vintage chic and work wonders in bathrooms, as it is the place we go to refresh our bodies and minds. As for the guestrooms, why leave out yellow from them? It is often touted as a mood-enhancing shade and brings instant sunshine to a space, which is why it is a wonderful idea to invest in the colour if you wish to keep your guests happy and upbeat!

We hope these decoration ideas help you add the vibrant yellow colour to your home in style!
