From mellow mustard to neon brights, there's only one color you should be using in your homes this year.
So far, this year has seen some exciting new home trends. Think heritage prints, bold 70s-inspired decor and dark, moody kitchens. However, it’s the once-shunned color yellow that's currently taking the interior design world by storm.
This bright hue is the latest in-thing and has been seen in the homes of some of the most stylish celebrities, including Reese Witherspoon and Sarah Jessica Parker.
With its sunny, cheerful and optimistic connotations, it’s not hard to see why yellow is having its moment and sitting pretty in the interior décor spotlight. From lamps to curtains, bedcovers to cushions, the bright shade is making a big splash.
Are you brave enough to try the bold trend in your home? Here's how you can add a dash of sunshine to your color scheme.
Perfect paint
From small patterns to the whole wall, yellow paint is a must for a contemporary update of your home. Take some inspiration from the home décor goddess herself, Reese Witherspoon, as she demonstrates how a fresh lick of yellow paint can brighten up your home. Try out some on-trend geometric shapes or even an instant wall sticker for a quick transformation.
Cheerful curtains
Rich, 70s-inspired mustard was the first color to move interiors towards the sunny side of the color wheel.
These luxe velvet curtains will provide a vibrant backdrop to an all-white room. Less permanent than paint, it's a much subtler way to add a pop of color to your living room.
Color-popping cushions
If you’re looking for a small burst of color, then a cushion is the ideal addition. Great on a bed or sofa, this small accessory can bring the sunshine anywhere in your home.
A small but bold statement, we love this round mustard design from UK department store John Lewis. Not too big but bright enough to stand out, it's the perfect way to add some personality to a room.
Wonderful wallpaper
Be bang on-trend with yellow patterned wallpaper that will add a fresh, summery feel to your home.
Go bold with a feature wall or use it on the entire room to make your home bright and striking.
Lovely yellow lights
Lights are an essential, but that doesn’t mean they can’t make an impact: this mid-century style table lamp should do the trick. Team your new addition with a matching yellow wall if you fancy going all-out on 2019’s biggest trend.
Terrific tables
Make a dramatic statement and go big with a standout piece that will definitely steal the show.
Guaranteed to brighten the mood, this gorgeous yellow coffee table will add an instant color boost to a neutral living room.
Charismatic chairs
There’s something to be said about colors reflecting moods, and with yellow typically associated with happiness why not reflect some of that into your home?
Yellow is the perfect color for an uplifting statement chair and will add character to any corner. Velvet is the classic choice for an armchair, but you could easily go for hard-wearing cotten, linen or suede.
Dreamy duvets
Incorporate soft golden tones into your bedroom with this luxurious-looking duvet cover.
This shade isn’t too brash but is bright enough to add a splash of color, bringing your room up to date for summer 2019.
Fantastic fridge
Really stand out by putting this sunshine yellow SMEG fridge freezer in your kitchen. The ultimate retro design with its round edges and stainless steel handle, it makes for a bold addition that is sure to get everyone talking.
