Guest Picks: Yellow Accents for Brighter Winter Days
Bring in the sunshine with these cheery yellow side tables, lamps, benches and more
Yellow really is the happiest color. And when those long, dark, cold days move in and stick around, there’s nothing like a pop of yellow to boost your mood and make everything feel bright. From big, bold furniture to small, subdued accessories, here’s a bit of yellow to lighten any space. — Kristy and Beth from Design Chic
Garden Stool, Sunshine Yellow
Garden seats are a solid purchase because they are so versatile. We would pile this one with fluffy towels and put it in the bathroom. Then it will always be ready for company at a moment’s notice.
Changright Yellow Coffee Table by Worlds Away
The sunroom is one of our favorite places to go crazy with yellow. We’d pair this bright coffee table with fun yellow and white fabrics for a cheerful, casual look.
Zigzag Garden Stool, Yellow
This tiny accent is the perfect end table for a chair or small couch. The perfectly flat top makes it a great place to set a drink on, one of our top end table criteria.
Timeless Table Lamp, Yellow 6483
In general we try not to have too many pairs, but a pair of lamps in the master bedroom is a great way to add continuity and balance.
Yellow Ceramic Stool
We love using garden seats inside, but why should the garden miss all the fun? We’d use this yellow showstopper amidst the flowers for a quick sit.
Child’s Shaggy Raggy Yellow Rug
What kid wouldn’t love to wake up and sink his or her feet into a soft, plush, shaggy rug? This yellow piece is perfect for keeping winter toes warm.
Yellow Zebra Print Wastebasket and Tissue Box
This tissue holder and wastebasket set is a great way to pull a touch of yellow into the master bath — especially if it mirrors a hint of the hue in the master bedroom.
Trina Turk Pillow Embroidered Linen Greek Key Pillow, Acid Yellow
Forget a new sofa. These gorgeous Greek key pillows can take any old piece and make it fabulous all over again!
Venus Capiz Shell Pendant, Yellow
Obviously, light fixtures always brighten things up. But this one does so doubly! It would be a perfect statement piece in a powder room.
Yellow and Cream Squares Wastebasket
Speaking of the powder room, it simply must have a wonderful wastebasket. This fun, sunny one would do the trick.
Half Round Nailhead Accent Ottoman
When we buy furniture, versatility is one of the first things we look for. This great piece can either be a large ottoman or two smaller benches, making it a good investment even for those who aren’t yet in their “forever” home.
Peregrine Trellis Bench, Yellow
If you want to date yellow but aren’t necessarily interested in marriage, this footstool is a happy medium. It’s easily paired with any chair, and if your yellow moment comes to an end, it can be re-covered with little fabric.
Upbeat Yellow Table Lamp - $458.00
A pair of funky yellow lamps would be just the thing to brighten a stuffy living room.
Jonathan Adler Yellow Carnaby Striped Stash Box
If you’re like us, you always find yourself with a few odds and ends that need to be stowed at a moment’s notice. Enter the stash box. We can’t think of a more fun place to stash our trinkets in.
Robert Abbey Jonathan Adler Capri Pendant, Yellow
There’s no better place for infusing a little warmth than the heart of the home. A pair of these pendants would be fantastic over a kitchen island.
Zentique Bench, Yellow
This comfy bench would look wonderful in an entry hall. We would put its back to the staircase so people could have a quick sit.
Zentique Louie Curved Bench
Footboards can sometimes feel heavy and clunky in rooms that aren’t generously proportioned. Adding a bench at the foot of a bed is both chic and practical.
Lillian August Blazer Chair
Yellow isn’t just for accessories. If you love the color, why not go big? The tufting on this yellow armchair gives it depth and interest, and keeps it from looking too, well, yellow.
Selamat Zigzag Panels, Yellow, Set of 3
If you’re into art, you know that diptychs and triptychs are popping up all over the place. This chevron piece is full of life and would make any room feel party ready.
Dunes and Duchess Moderne 4-Arm Candelabra, Yellow
Who says the dining room has to be staid and boring? Bring on the fun, starting with this funky candelabra!
