HOW TO BRIGHTEN YOUR HOME FOR SPRING WITH A
Touch of Yellow
Sam Wylie-Harris rounds up the sunniest yellow homeware and accessories to shop now... The power colour of spring, nothing signals happiness and hope like bright, sunshine yellow. As well as dazzling visually, yellow can lighten the mood, make everything look fresh and bright - and most importantly in the scheme of things, it's very easy to place this pigment in the home and jazz up your space. Whereas stylists and fashionistas often cite yellow as a difficult colour to wear and suggest it should only be worn sparingly, interior designers love to incorporate yellow in their design edits. Best of all, yellow is surprisingly versatile and an easy shade to mix and match. You can use it as a colour block to break up a room, introduce pops of canary yellow, primrose or mustard to brighten up a dark corner, or for a sunlit twist, energise an open-plan space. Here's some of our favourite ways to work yellow into rooms right now... One of the brightest ways to introduce yellow is to let it star in a feature wall central to your design scheme. The new Glasshouse collection at Graham & Brown illustrates a flourishing garden paradise with herons and egrets walking among honeysuckle and clematis, and emerald toned leaves softening the look. Think of this luxurious matt paper as a cheat's sheet to a flight of fancy, without having to leave home. 26 | www.life-mags.com
