Fascinating world of colours: Yellow

Vitra Sofa Polder in fresh yellow

A few summer accents for your home? If you are in the mood for change, but are cautious with bright colours, you can slowly advance with yellow. Yellow stands for freshness, vitality and strength, has a stimulating and activating effect: No colour is therefore better suited for refreshing rooms. The possible uses of the colour are varied, but the same applies as with red: less is often more. In quiet rooms such as the bedroom, yellow tones should be used sparingly. In the living room or in the kitchen, you can be a little bolder, here just a few yellow splashes of colour create a summer atmosphere. Coherent colour combinations of shades of yellow and grey are very popular. Here, an elegant shade of grey, often used as a wall paint, is recommended as the perfect basis for individual yellow design objects or home accessories. Combinations of white and yellow make your interior look particularly airy. The key here is the right balance of a lot of white and a few yellow elements in order to avoid a glaring, restless effect. If you like it particularly spring-like, combine yellow with shades of pink or green.
