Guest Picks: Blue and Yellow Market Finds
Bright.Bazaar's Mr. Bazaar (a.k.a. Will) Gets Inspired By the London Sunshine
Anyone who reads Bright.Bazaar will know I'm in a long-term relationship with color. Crikey, I'm head over heels in love with it! So, I felt it only fitting to pull together some color trend ideabooks, starting out with Blue and Yellow. Inspired by the London sunshine, I've pulled together some of my favorite market picks for these two summery hues.
The perfect color scheme for an alfresco tabletop design or a refreshed palette for a kitchen makeover, for example, these two colors are a winning combination. My personal favorites are the Jonathan Adler Ravello lamp, the Toast tea towel and the yellow stripe pasta bowl from Habitat. Do you have a favorite from this curated mix of yellow and blues? — Will from Bright.Bazaar

Storm Lantern
Toast chose a lovely shade of buttercup yellow for their summer storm lantern design. I'd hang a cluster of them together for added drama at an alfresco dinner.
Glass Cloth
I like the rustic simplicity to this tea towel. The blue stripe along the top and bottom is enough to add interest, but not too much that it deters from its laid back, casual kitchen vibe.
Rob Ryan Enamel Mug
I like the soft sky blue colorway of this mug, with its thought provoking statement emblazoned upon it.
Sunshine Tomorrow Decorative Tile by Bianca Hall
I like this tile design because you would only need one of them to make you smile as you made your morning coffee in the kitchen. Plus, I do like American Typewriter as a font, so that helps!
An A to Z of New York Print
Combining blue and yellow with graphic drawings of NYC landmarks, this tea towel reminds me why I love that city.
Linea Blue Lucy Table Lamp
Bargainistas look out! This color block table lamp is a steal at under £3.00. Love the gloss look of the base.
Shower Mat
Modern with a hint of traditional, this typographical bath mat is catching my eye for all the right reasons.
Blue Stripe/Dot Print Bedding
Pair two of my favorite patterns — stripes and polka dots — in one of my top color combinations, and I'm a happy chap!
Trina Turk Blocks Linen Pillow
Trina Turk rocks it with this bright and colorful Palm Springs inspired design.
Blue and White Table Runner
What a steal this nautical table runner is at just £3.99! A bargain for sure!
Jonathan Adler Ravello Lamp
I love this lamp because it makes me think of bubbling azure blue waters washing over pebbles as the tide comes in.
Poole Pottery Cities In Sketch Mug
With its mix of sharp graphic design and uplifting hit of yellow, this mug would be an excellent addition to my desk this summer.
Galicia Yellow Glass Tumbler
Yellow's association with bright summer sunshine means the gloriously bold lemon hue stripe on this glass tumbler makes it perfect for an alfresco tabletop.
Aldo Londi Rimini Vase
Striking from afar, interesting up close, the irregular details in this blue-hued vase are simply beautiful.
Wilf Yellow Small Occasional Table
I love that a simple block of yellow takes this small occasional table from drab to fab in an instant!
Jonathan Adler Bull's Eye Pillow
I like how the turquoise and blue rings on this Jonathan Adler cushion look like water after a stone has been dropped into it. There's something captivating about the simple design.
Portofino Yellow Terracotta Small Pasta Bowl
For me it's the element of surprise offered by this pasta bowl that makes it stand out from other designs currently on the market. That yellow stripe detail inside adds further visual interest to the terracotta exterior.
