How to Add Yellow To Your Home
Illuminating your home with yellow
Pantone colour of the year has been announced and it is bold! And we know colour has a real impact on our emotions. Learn how to bring this happy (but sometimes tricky) colour into your home.
‘The Pantone 2021 colour of the year is ‘Illuminating’ and ‘Ultimate Gray’. Two independent colours that come together to support one another, practical and rock solid while simultaneously being warming and optimistic. This is a union of strength and positivity. This colour story encapsulates deeper feelings of thoughtfulness with the promise of something sunny and friendly.’
| MY HOME IS ALREADY 500 SHADES OF GREY…
Let’s face it, most of us have been using greys in our homes for years. So we don’t need to chat about that. Let’s chat about the yellow submarine in the room. How do you incorporate yellow into your home?
| ADD SMALL ACCENTS
You do not have to paint your entire room yellow to get your happiness quotient up. Add a throw, cushion or small side table in yellow. If you are a DIYer you could paint an existing item like old dinosaur toys and mount them to the wall or vases.

| DECORATE
If you are on the braver side, you might try decorating! Unless you are bananas for this colour though (yep we did it), we recommend easy to change elements. Paint your front door this wonderful yellow, it will lift your spirits every time you walk through after a long hard day and the best bit, It is easy to paint again in a few years if you tire of it. Other statements include a wall decal, feature wall of wonderful textured wallpaper or a splashback.

| USE FABRIC
Add in a plush bedhead to your bedroom, change your table linens or bathroom towels. Fabric is a wonderful way to brighten your space and also add texture and depth to your home. Rest your head on our plush and massively popular ‘Relaxed Cushion Style Bedhead‘ in Pistachio or Wattle.
