How to Add Sunny Yellow Touches to your Home
Yellow has always been one of my favorite colors for decorating my home. It instantly brings a feeling of sunniness and optimism into any space. Unfortunately, a lot of people shy away from using yellow in their decorating. They seem to be afraid that it's going to come off looking too garish.
The truth is that you can go really wrong with yellow in the home. The wrong shade of yellow can cast an ugly glow over the house and make everything in it look a little bit sickly. Too much yellow and you may find yourself feeling a bit jittery when sitting in the space.
However, it's not actually that difficult to do yellow right. First, you want to make sure to choose a bright and bold yellow. Avoid soft yellows and pastels. Stay away from anything that hints of neon. Then make sure that you don't overdo it. Yellow should be used for pieces of a room but not for the whole room. Done correctly, you can give yourself a bubbly new space with just a hint of this great color.

Many people find it difficult to incorporate big yellow pieces like a kitchen island into their design. Another option is to go with smaller pieces that are still bold. The yellow sculptural art on the wall here is the key part of the design. It's complimented by the yellow trim of the wall and the yellow accents on the table.
If you are really bold about going yellow then you can try out some yellow wallpaper. Get something with a design on it that is of a different color (like is shown here) so that you don't completely overwhelm the space.
