"How wonderful yellow is. It stands for the sun." -Vincent Van Gogh

The sun falls across everything! Yellow rays warm us, grow our lawns and flowers, and brighten our days especially after many rainy ones.

Yellow is like the friendliest person you know! It mixes easily with many others. What a relief it is to have such a happy and flexible color in your home! Even children "see" the colors that easily work with yellow. Let's explore some of my favorite combinations...

DESIGN TIPS USING YELLOW!

Yellow is an appropriate color for a room used for studying because it has a stimulating effect on the mind.
Its intensity is also good for stairs and corridors that don't receive natural light!
Approach yellow as a neutral. Select a yellow wall color with brown undertones, and pair it with a sisal rug.
