Use... sunny yellows

Start the day with a feel-good injection of sunshine whatever the weather with a scheme of uplifting yellows

-

AWAKEN THE SENSES Paint your bedroom in yellow if you want a scheme that is full of sunny, positive vibes. Give any bedroom a bright, welcoming feel with uplifting, mood-boosting primrose. Ideally, it should remind you of sunny days. Yellow and grey are a great combinatio­n as is the introducti­on of soothing blush pink.

INCORPORAT­E A HOME OFFICE

As yellow inspires clear thinking, it’s also a great colour for a study area if you have space to add a desk. Improve definition with touches of crisp white and introduce pattern in the form of geometrics and chevrons to give a sharp, contempora­ry finish.

OPEN UP THE SPACE Using an uplifting colour, such as a sunshine yellow, can help to invigorate any small space, just be mindful of how you use the colour. Painting the bright colour up to mid room height will help to anchor the colour to the bottom half of the room.

TIE THE SCHEME TOGETHER Allow the added splash of colour to determine a tonal palette for bedding, accessorie­s and floor rugs to create a cohesive look.
