Banish those winter blues for good and discover how yellow can work its magic complementing neutral shades.

What could feel more spring-like than the injection of some beautiful bright yellows into your home? From Easter chicks to stunning displays of daffodils, this is a shade that lifts the spirits and banishes the winter blues and it is big news for spring

From wallcoverings to statement furniture pieces, yellow is the colour to shout about this spring. You can interpret this bright and beautiful trend as you please, with bold colour choices for new items of furniture or a simple update of your accessories for the season ahead.

Yellow is a colour that works well with most neutral shades so a complete overhaul of your current schemes shouldn’t be necessary to embrace the mellow yellow feeling.

If you are planning to redecorate, don’t be afraid to experiment with wallpaper featuring stunning yellow prints.

You can choose from everything from traditional floral styles to groovy geometric patterns in shades of mustard and deep yellow. Offset a grey scheme with a stunning print and tie the whole thing together by plumping for a statement yellow sofa to bring the room together.

If that all seems a bit much, take a more subtle approach and add hints of sunshine around the room with beautiful yellow throws, blooms and prints for the wall. Brighten up your Scandi-inspired reading corner with some cute cushions and a yellow lamp or candleholder to make the transition from winter into spring.

In the kitchen, embracing yellow fever might be as simple as piling a bowl full of beautiful lemons and limes or bringing a bunch of primroses in to sit on the kitchen table but you could really go to town with yellow in this room.

A yellow accent wall makes a great statement against grey, black or white kitchen units and if you are feeling really brave, gloss doors in bright colours are still very on trend.

If you aren’t sure about going the whole hog, refresh your tea towels with some quirky yellow prints or bring in a few cute accessories inspired by yellow fruit such as pineapples and lemons.

Yellow is also a gorgeous choice for children’s rooms and makes a refreshing change from all those baby blues and pinks.

It’s a great neutral shade and could be used as a base to build in other primary colours or beautiful rainbow inspired accessories to add interest.

Don’t be afraid to embrace the bold, the results will certainly be worth it!
