I have a confession to make. It’s been more than four years since I first felt my heart flutter with excitement at the sight of this hue, and no matter what I do I just can’t quit you. Yellow, you are my colour drug! Whether you layer one of your gently weathered shades into an industrial scheme, provide a contrasting accent to a monochromatic room or bring a glossy pop of playful lemon to a space, you always give Mr. Bazaar the colour high he craves everyday. You pair beautifully with graphic patterns, ironically softening them despite your vivacious characteristics; work wonders when framed in a formal setting and then called upon as a reference point for layered accessories; and are versatile enough to hit the right notes whether used in country or coastal homes. You’re so darn good I can’t imagine life without you – truth be told, I wouldn’t even want to. Yellow, here’s to you, me and one bright addiction!

You are my sunshine my only sunshine! Love yellow too! Such a happy and striking colour!
absolutely! this bright hue just makes you happy and cheerful during those grey rainy days. love the coastal, regency, and monochrome inspirational shots. Which one is your favourite?
@Tim – Great choices! I love the monochrome and coastal ones but they are all fab!
I love every idea!!!
I just love yellow. No colour is quite like it for cheering you up. One of my favourite combinations is with cornflower blue – glorious.
I love yellow touches in an interior! The interior of the blue cupboard is my favourite !

I love yellow accents…. I have the wonderful muuto yellow dots and they always get all the attention!
A wonderful “ode to yellow”, Will. I agree. Yellow is happiness and can do wonders on a grey day. I’m loving each and every example you picked – but I think my favourite is that kitchen cabinet with its yellow secret inside!
Yellow? Yes! I love the funky lamp.
That blue cupboard is literally my dream cupboard.
Every home should have a little yellow, even if just a vase of Daffs! Love yellow, such a happy, warm colour. Looks great as a main room colour or as a subtle addition. My favs above are industrial look and the striking monochrome – fab pictures.
These are awesome ideas. I really have never gravitated toward yellow when working on decorating our home – and I feel like these are all very attainable and relatable. Love (LOVE) the ‘coastal’ idea!
Hi Will,
I must admit yellow is on my radar for the past few months, especially the sweetcorn hue.
I’m currently decorating my kitchen using a mix of grey and yellow.
Thank you for even more inspirations!

Loving all of these! The yellow in the cabinets is so surprising and fun!
Cant beat a splash of yellow-industrial and monochrome for me! xx
Yellow is TOTALLY A COLOR DRUG! Especially in this shade <3
You are responsible for converting us and probably the whole nation to yellow – absolutely love that Jielde lamp and the cuboard with the yellow interior. Love this whole story.
i’m a massive fan of yellow in accents, the lamps and the stools are grand. nice one.
A friend told me about your lovely blog and pointed me to this post. I am a yellowist (love all things yellow). I love love love these pictures! Thorn between the lamp, stool, hanging lamp ,pillow ……… Am glad people are beginning to appreciate yellow outside spring time and flowers.
I’m sold on yellow too, Will! Absolutely love the industrial space with the pot plants on the wall and the coastal space too, perfectly put together.
Nice blog for yellow colour lovers. Thank you for sharing.
I am a big fan of yellow too! In fact yesterday I bought a piece of bright yellow material with white polka dots to cover a lampshade in my dining room-office-craft & sewing room. Goes with the vintage-looking tablecloth in bright red, yellow, with a little blue and green. Can’t wait to get it done.
Oh, and my two exterior doors are painted yellow. Make me smile every time I see them!
